Abstract: An autoregressive (AR) model for the simulation of modulus of elasticity (MOE) fluctuations along hardwood boards without pronounced knot periodicity is presented. The model is calibrated based on contiguous, localized ...

Abstract: Experiments and a simulation of the effect of localized tensile strength in European white oak boards and predictions of the effect of the board’s length on global tensile strength are reported. Furthermore, the cross-correlation ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of glued-laminated timbers (glulam) subjected to tension perpendicular to the fiber direction, hereby taking into account the cylindrical anisotropy of the individual laminations and specific ...

Abstract: This paper reports on an analysis and experimental verification of the effect of cylindrical anisotropy of softwood loaded in the radial

Abstract: This paper addresses the size effect of inplane bending strength as well as Mode I fracture toughness and process zone length of wood fiber-reinforced gypsum panels. Wood fiber gypsum panels represent an incombustible short ...
