The tensile and bending properties of bamboo/wood composite board,having important effect on their use properties,are the important mechanical properties. The tensile and bending properties of the bamboo/wood composite board, which was composed of bamboo mat, bamboo curtain and poplar veneer, were studied by using resistance strain gauge and computer programmed mechanics tester. The results evinced that the noteworthy linear relationship existed between the lengthways or lateral tensile strain and the load, and the nonlinear relationship existed between the Poisson ratio and the elasticity mod...
