Simulating Stresses Associated with the Bending of Wood Using a Finite Element Method

This article examines the stress-strain curves of various thicknesses of soft and hard wood when bent during three-point loading. The finite element method was used to simulate the course of stresses that occurred during the bending of these materials. Reference curves obtained by bending real speci...
