Exploration of fracture dynamics properties and predicting fracture toughness of individual wood beams using neural networks

In this study, the time to crack initiation (T), duration of crack propagation (T), crack initiation stress, peak stress as well as crack speed and fracture toughness were investigated for three Rates of Loading (ROL) and four sizes of notched wood beams using high-speed video imaging...
