Wood transverse fracture analysis at the mesoscopic scale

Wood transverse fracture analysis at the mesoscopic scale

The present study is an analysis of wood fracture behavior at the mesoscopic scale (i.e. the scale of growth ring). Radial TR crack growth mechanisms are complex and involve several events such as secondary cracks creation while cracks extend from one growth ring to another. Crack tip strain fiel...
