| Summary: | Bamboo is an abundant plant and material in Indonesia, and tali bamboo
(Gigantochloa apus) is one of the common types. This material is known for its
natural elasticity. From this property, various bamboo processing techniques have
emerged, such as lamination, bending, coiling, and weaving. However, the dynamic
use of bamboo's elasticity is still uncommon. Therefore, this research discusses how
bamboo's elasticity can be dynamically utilized and applied in a product. The focus
of this study is on the exploration and experimental methods of bamboo material to
find the appropriate bamboo processing techniques to achieve this goal. Through
material experiments, it can be concluded that each technique used has different
impacts on the final result. The rebounding power, damping capacity, and flexibility
of bamboo are greatly influenced by bending, lamination thickness, and shape. The
developed product from these experiments is a rocking toy, where elasticity can be
utilized to create a bouncing and flexible structure, unlike conventional rocking
toys. This final product is expected to aid in the development of children's motor
skills and open opportunities for the future development of bamboo products with
dynamic usage. |
