This article presents a three-dimensional wood material model implemented in finite
element (FE) software which is capable of predicting the behavior of timber at the macro …

The influence of different types of knots and fiber deviations on the bending of wood, as
managed using visual grading standards, was analytically discussed in this research by …

This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties determined in a 4-point bending test
of beams made of lumber from which knots had been locally removed and the resulting loss …

This work compares the effectiveness of local reinforcements of pine beams. Test beams
were reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tape and layered laminate …

Technical simulation of knots in structural wood. Wood, as inhomogeneous material, creates
many difficulties for both designers and engineers. This situation is related to the highly …

The demand for timber has increased significantly in recent years. Therefore, reliable tools
are needed to predict the mechanical properties of sawn timber, especially for structural …

The possibility of using composite elements of flooring pine veneers with knotholes for the
production of supporting layers has been determined. This assessment was made on the …

Natural defects and the structural heterogeneities of timber are affecting the uniform stress
distribution inside the boards. Localized high stress concentrations around these defects …

Sažetak Ispitivanjem je potvrđena mogućnost uporabe furnira od borova drva s rupama od
kvrga kao srednjeg sloja u proizvodnji višeslojnih podnih obloga. Ta je procjena …
