This review critically examines the various ways in which the mechanical properties of wood
have been understood. Despite the immense global importance of wood in construction …

A revival in timber buildings and the appreciation of their positive physical and mechanical
properties can be explained by the unique environmental credentials of timber products and …

In this study, we developed a constitutive law for wood useful as a user material subroutine
(Umat) in Abaqus software. To calibrate the model, compression/tensile tests were carried …

Caragana korshinskii Kom. branch (CKB), a vital biomass source in northwest China, has
not been thoroughly studied in terms of its bending fracture mechanics. This research aims …

Extensive researches have been dedicated to study creep in wooden structures where good
insight was gained on the phenomenological behaviour. However, long-term creep laws …

Pinus elliottii wood from different radial locations within trees was used to prepare two-layer
preservative-treated wood joints with alkaline copper quaternary preservative and emulsion …

The design of engineered wood products and timber structures involving numerical
simulations requires knowledge of the elastic and strength properties of wood. This study …

The characterization of material properties from image sequences is of paramount
importance in assessing structural integrity. A particular application can be found in the field …

Wood is an essential natural resource that can be utilized in various ways, such as for
construction, bioenergy, and paper production. The flow of wood from harvest to use has the …
