Mimicking Nature implies the use of bio-inspired hierarchical designs to manufacture
nanostructured materials. Such materials should be produced from sustainable sources (eg …

The goal of this research was to measure the elastic properties and strength of earlywood
and latewood from two growth-ring positions of loblolly pine. Because of the small specimen …

The aim of this study was to determine the mechanical properties of earlywood (EW) and
latewood (LW) sections of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood, and determine the …

Effects of moisture content (MC) were investigated for the mechanical properties of oak
wood (Quercus petraea Liebl.) using micro-size test specimens. The micro-size specimens …

Orthotropic properties of loblolly pine strands were measured from growth ring numbers 1–
10 and 11–20 using digital image correlation (DIC). Eight elastic properties (EL, ER, ET, G …

There is currently no ASTM standard for testing the tensile mechanical properties of strands
used in wood-strand–based composites. In this study we compared the ultimate tensile …

The aim of this study was to investigate micro-mechanical properties of Oak (Quercus
petraea) wood and to compare with standard-size test specimens values. Bending strength …

Teak wood is a widely used material for construction applications. However, microstructural
and micromechanical behavior is still unknown. This study aims to determine the …

Previous studies evaluating the tensile properties of wood strands used different test
conditions and different wood species. Direct comparison of these results cannot be …

The goal was to determine local mechanical properties inside of oriented strand board
(OSB) based on a realistic morphology-based finite element (FE) model and data acquired …
