Özet
Key message Sycamore and ash trees were found to be greater E in their coppices, but horse chestnut was stiffer in its branches, this could be related to node frequency. Abstract In this study, mechanical and anatomical properties of branch and coppice shoots of sycamore, horse chestnut and common ash were investigated along the length of their shoots and to relate these differences to their morphology and wood density. A series of 3-point bending tests were made along the lengths of the branches and coppices shoots at different diameters to determine the mechanical properties. The morphology was also characterized. Our results showed clearly that sycamore and horse chestnut trees were found to have greater flexural stiffness (EI) in their branches than the coppices, but coppices were stiffer (higher E) than branches in ash. Sycamore also …
