A series of quasi-static and dynamic tests on bamboo-based honeycomb and bamboo-reinforced foam structures were carried out to investigate their energy absorbing characteristics and the related failure modes. Here, the tube damage shows the typical buckling (bulging) and top surface splitting failur...
