Concept of FGM Materials
FGM materials possess continuously graded properties
with gradual change in microstructure which avoids
interface problems, such as, stress concentrations.

Motivation
Most part of works done with bamboo are experimental work
(to find bamboo strength and stiffness properties). Very few
works about Bamboo modeling (usually analytical work);
Due to complicated shapes and material distribution, the use of
numerical methods such as (finite element method) FEM can be a
great tool to help us to understand the mechanical behavior of
these structures;
Bamboo is a composite material where a microstructure can be
identified, thus, multiscale methods, such as homogenization can
be applied;
Traditional FEM gives a wrong stress distribution for the FGM
materials (layer approximation) graded finite element concept;

It allows the replacement of the composite medium by an
equivalent homogeneous medium to solve the global
problem.

Analytical methods
Advantage in relation to other methods:
Mixture rule models - no interaction between phases
Self-consistent methods - some interaction, limited to
simple geometries

Conclusions
Numerical simulations of bamboo structure using finite element
method and a multi-scale method were performed;
By using the graded finite element concept the continuous
change of bamboo properties along the thickness could be taken
into account, and its influence in the bamboo mechanical
behavior was shown;
By using homogenization method, the effective properties of
bamboo, were calculated allowing us to model bamboo as a
homogeneous medium;
Numerical simulation is a powerful tool to model natural fiber
composites helping us to understand their behavior.
