This technique produces stronger bends compared with others mentioned earlier because of uniformity especially if preparing several pieces at once since they will all have undergone similar conditioning process hence reducing inconsistencies caused by other methods. Lamination Method Sustainability: Using bent or curved pieces of bamboo may reduce waste as you can utilize parts that would otherwise be discarded. The tension strength in the four layers are correlated to their radial positions from the inner towards the outer layer as follows: B i: 84 MPa, B M1: 140 MPa, B M2: 181 MPa, and B o: 249 MPa. This implies that the outer layer B o has significantly higher tensile strength than the other three layers by the ratio of about 3.0 at B i, of 1.8 at B M1, and of 1.4 at B M2.The elastic modulus \({E}_{L}\), in the four layers are also correlated to their radial positions from the inner towards the outer layer as follows: B i: 6.4 GPa, B M1: 9.6 GPa, B M2: 13.3 GPa, and B o: 22.8 GPa. The outer layer B o has significantly higher elastic modulus than that of the other three layers by the ratio of about 3.6 at B i, of 2.4 at B M1, and of 1.7 at B M2.
