Bionic Design of the Bumper Beam Inspired by the Bending and Energy Absorption Characteristics of Bamboo

This study conducted quasistatic three-point bending tests to investigate the effect of bamboo node on the energy absorption, bending, and deformation characteristics of bamboo. Results showed that the node had a reinforcing effect on the energy absorption and bending strength of the bamboo culm sub...
