6. Plants: optimized composite structures
6.1 The flax plant, an example of a remarkable natural structure
Fiber plants grow vertically and are natural structures of varying degrees of slenderness. Slenderness is the ratio of height to stem (or trunk) diameter. This parameter has been studied for trees and herbaceous plants. . Flax grown at a plant density of 1,800 m ...
