Title: | MODE I FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION: WOOD SEN-TPB |
Issue Date: | 2012 |
Abstract: | The single edge notched beam loaded in three-point-bending (SEN-TPB) was used in this study to induce mode I fracture in wood (Picea abeas L.). Numerical analyses of stress profiles along the specimen length revealed a stress relief region as crack grows in size. Based on this data, beam theory and crack equivalent concepts were employed to develop an expedite data reduction scheme to estimate the Resistance-curve, taking advantage of a simplification performed on the revealed stress relief region. Besides allowing the evaluation of wood fracture toughness without crack length monitoring during loading, the developed procedure provides a user-friendly method when compared to other sophisticated procedures. Experiments involving the SEN-TPB were performed to evaluate fracture toughness in wood. |
