As demand grows to replace petroleum-derived materials with more environmentally friendly
materials, the use of wood in high-performance applications in the automotive industry has …

The deformation behaviour of single crystals of an Mg 85 Zn 6 Y 9 alloy with an 18R-LPSO
structure was experimentally and numerically investigated using a micro-tensile testing …

This study conducts dislocation-based modelling and numerical analysis to clarify the
presence of disclinations within kinked deformation microstructures using the framework of …

In order to compute, in various situations, the requirements for transporting packages using
Balsa wood as an energy absorber, a constitutive model is needed that takes into account …

Kink band formation (kinking) in layered materials is reviewed. Metal alloys with a long
period stacking ordered structure (LPSO) based on Mg-Zn-Y system along with other …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements in structures may be exposed to high perpendicular-
to-grain compressive stresses, which often require reinforcement to improve the inherently …

In a building structure, wood can be used in conjunction with steel or concrete material to
form what is known as a hybrid building system. In this research, a steel-timber hybrid …

Little is known about historic wood as it ages naturally. Instead, most studies focus on
biological decay, as it is often assumed that wood remains otherwise stable with age. This …

This paper presents a study of the deformations of the birch veneer layer of plywood
composed of veneer sheets, each with a thickness of 1.4 mm. Displacements in the …

Brittle fracture mechanisms, characterizing wood behavior, are investigated numerically with
the help of the smeared-crack approach combined with a multi-surface plasticity model …
