Abstract: Bamboo is susceptible to moisture-induced dimensional instability and cracking. Combining traditional methods with vascular bundle detection, the coordinates and fiber sheath area of each vascular bundle was determined accurately. Based on data fitting, the change in the shape of cross-section was quantified and analyzed based on parameters such as radius, radian, and arc length. The changes in the total area and the areas of different types of fiber sheath, as well as the changes in the arrangement of vascular bundles were studied. The results showed that when the moisture content was reduced from 64% to 0%, the radius of the cross section was increased by 21%, while the radian and arc length decreased by 22% and 6%, respectively. The fibers shrunk by 15%, which was greater than that of the other tissues except bamboo fibers (9%). The gradient distribution of the fiber volume fraction contributed to its asynchronous dry shrinkage. Significant radial and tangential displacements were found in vascular bundles. This work further elucidated the dry shrinkage mechanism of bamboo, and was of great significance for the quantitative analysis of changes in bamboo structure from a combination of micro and macro perspectives.
