On the mechanic theory of the stem form of trees

Ylinen A. (1952). On the mechanic theory of the stem form of trees. Silva Fennica no. 76 article id 4626. https://doi.org/10.14214/sf.a9098

Abstract

There are three theories regarding the stem form of trees. The stem form plays a role in ability of the tree to resist wind and wind breaks. This article presents the theory and experiments about mechanic stem form theory. The wind velocity in a forest stand and the coefficient of resistance at the tree crone and at the tree stem are calculated. The hypothesis about the point when the tree stem breaks is discussed. The approximate values of different calculations are presented. 

Keywords
stem form; wind velocity; wind break; wind resistance
