Fracture development in wood resulting from bending stresses and detected using the acoustic emission phenomenon

A new approach to the problem of failure prediction of wood components and structures is that of fracture mechanics. In order to implement this approach knowledge of flaw growth (or crack propagation) in wood subjected to various stress systems and environmental conditions is required. The extension...
