: The mechanical properties of rhizome segments of Arundo donax L. were studied in three dimensions: longitudinal (X), transverse-vertical (Y), transverse-horizontal (Z). Tensile, cyclic loading and torsional tests demonstrate that the distinct anisotropy found in the hollow stems is less pronounced in the rhizome. Morphological and anatomical examinations suggest that the mechanical anisotropy of the stem is caused by the arrangement parallel to the stem of the vascular bundles and sclerenchymatous fibres, embedded in lignified parenchyma. Anatomical inhomogeneity is less pronounced in the rhizome due to the short internode lengths, and predominance of nodal regions, where sclerenchymatous fibres form a complex three-dimensional arrangement embedded in unlignified starch-storing parenchyma. Cyclic loading experiments indicate viscoelastic behaviour of the rhizomatous tissues under tensile stress. Additionally, viscoelastic behaviour under torsional stress was studied. Mechanical behaviour of the rhizome under tension up to fracture is discussed with regard to the fracture surfaces, analysed by SEM.
