Twist-to-Bend Ratios and Safety Factors of Petioles Having Various Geometries, Sizes and Shapes
From a mechanical viewpoint, petioles of foliage leaves are subject to contradictory mechanical requirements. High flexural rigidity guarantees support of the lamina and low torsional rigidity ensures streamlining of the leaves in wind. This mechanical trade-off between flexural and torsional rigidi...
