Kabir, M.F. | Bhattacharjee, D.K. | Sattar, M.A.
The physical characteristics, physical and mechanical properties of Calamus erectus have been studied at three height positions. The variation of physical properties due to node and internode have also been investigated. The moisture content and shrinkage increase, whereas the specific gravity decreases with the height of the stem. The specific gravity is higher at the node than that at the internode. The bottom portion is stronger in respect of compressive strength, bending strength, nail withdrawal and side hardness.
