Abstract
Summary The relationship between the tangential Young's modulus and the transverse cell shape in coniferous early wood was investigated by using cell models constructed by power spectrum analysis. The calculated Young's moduli of the cell models explained qualitatively the change of the experimental Young's moduli with density as well as the difference in the experimental values among species. The calculated Young's moduli differed significantly among species depending on the cell model shapes when compared at the same density. With increasing element angle in the model, the Young's modulus greatly increased without a significant change in the density, especially at the larger ratios of the axial length of the tangential cell wall to that of the radial cell wall.
