Abstract:

The particularity about applying the principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) to wood were expounded. The fracture toughness KTLIC parallel to grain of wood of Chinese fir (C.lanceolata) and Masson pine (P.massoniana) were determined with different samples and methods. The results showed that LEMF based on isotropic material is suited for wood crack growth parallel to grain. The fracture toughness parallel to grain is a basic property of wood.

Key words: Wood fracture, Liner electric fracture mechanics, Fracture toughness, Test technique
