　　In this study, four kinds of natural fibers which were extracted from different plant sources were investigated.The microstructures of these natural fibers were revealed with the aid of optical microscopy.Dimensional parameters for different natural fibers were obtained from the microstructure analysis.Based on these data, microstructure models were therefore proposed and mechanical properties for the representative volume element were assumed.
