Subject: Fibre angles in plant stems
We would be most interested in any data on the variation of stiffness of plant stem fibres
with the angle the cellulose fibres make with the long axis.
We have seen Figure 3.8 of Julian Vincent's book "Structural Biomaterials" (Macmillan, 1982).
[Julian: there does not appear to a source reference - was this your own work?
- was a more comprehensive paper published?]
I'd be grateful if you could copy my student (e-address at cc field) in on your response.
