- Thinking tools based on nature – without formulas!
- The self-optimization of trees
- Growth regulators as tree sculptors
- External shape optimization and self-healing
- Internal wood optimization and the competing types of failure (transverse tension, shear and longitudinal pressure in comparison with non-fiber composites)
- Growth stresses and failure due to too much (explosion) or too little internal stress (summer breakage of branch and trunk)
- Repair attachments as warning signals
- The growth line as a silent warning of the trees or as a force flow line
- Crack and rib, crack causes and risk assessment, (shear bomb, separation shear crack, accident beam, banana crack, twist crack, ovalization crack, transverse fibre crack on vertebrae, branches and grafting)
- Swelling due to rot, fiber compression, burl and tree cancer
- Lightning groove and collision damage
- The face of the bark
- increasingly crooked trees
- sagging branches
- loose bark
- What the Chinese beard tells us…
- The biomechanics of the root
- Cones of force under the tree: taproot and heart root
- Anchoring mechanics and root rot
- Tree environment, soil and wall cracks
- Climate-proof tree?
- Failure criteria and their verification
- Cavity, slenderness, cross-section reduction, bark pattern
- Fluid mechanics, crown shape and pruning
