Characterizing Strength and Fracture of Wood Micropillars Under Uniaxial Compression

The structure of the actual wood cell wall is very complex and it consists of several layers. Some research has been done to measure the mechanical properties of wood cell wall. For example, the hardness and modulus of wood cell wall was estimated using a nanoindentation test. But the mechanical con...
