In this work, interlaminar fracture characterization of carbon-fibre reinforced polyamide
composite was studied experimentally and numerically. The double cantilever beam and …

The second part of this series of two papers presents the modelling and strength prediction
of Glued-in Rods (GiR) experimentally investigated in Part I. Unlike what has been …

In this work fracture characterization of wood under mixed-mode I/II loading is addressed.
The mixed-mode bending test is used owing to its aptitude for easier alteration of mode ratio …

In this work the single edge notched-three point bending test applied to wood fracture
characterization in mode I is analysed. A new data reduction scheme founded on the …

Cohesive laws of wood bonded joints under mode II loading were determined using two
different methods. The direct method requires the establishment of the relation between the …

Asymmetric four-point bend fracture (AFPBF) tests and three-point bend end-notched flexure
(3ENF) tests were performed on groove-free and side-grooved samples of western hemlock …

Eucalyptus globulus Labill is a hardwood species of broad growth in temperate climates,
which is receiving increasing interest for structural applications due to its high mechanical …

This work addresses wood fracture characterization under mode II loading using the Four-
Point End-Notched Flexure test. A suitable data reduction scheme based on specimen …

In this work, we present the results from an experimental campaign on solid and glued
laminated timber made of European spruce (Picea abies) with 10. 5 mm or 45 mm thick …

Wood Fracture Characterization provides a guide to the application of modern fracture
mechanics concepts to wood materials used in structural engineering, which commonly …
