The relation between crack propagation based on fracture mechanics and end-check propagation during drying was evaluated in this study. Corresponding to the direction of end-check propagation, the mode I fracture toughness of air-dried sugi specimens in TR, TL, and intermediate systems was examined by single-edge-notched bending tests. The occurrence and propagation of end checks on sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) blocks during drying were observed at the scale of the annual rings. It was found that the critical stress intensity factor (K IC) decreased as the crack propagation changed from TL to TR. The value of K IC in the TR system was significantly lower than that in the TL system. As a measure of fracture energy, the area under the load-crack opening displacement curve in the TR system was more than twice that in the TL and intermediate systems. These results indicate that cracks perpendicular to the tangential direction initiate radially with ease, and then crack arrest occurs to prevent growing. This finding provides a consistent interpretation of the end-check propagation observed during drying as follows: tiny end checks, as an analog of TR cracks, occur easily and selectively in latewood or transition wood and propagate toward the pith during drying. When there is no corresponding secondary check in the forward latewood, the checks are arrested and do not propagate further.  相似文献

Bamboo is a unidirectional fiber-reinforced bio-composite. Once having cracks, the delaminating propagation is not controlled by the strength but by the interlaminar fracture toughness. In this paper, the behaviors of Mode I (crack opening mode) interlaminar fracture parallel to grain of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) were studied. Based on energy theory, the Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness, G IC, was measured using the double cantilever beam specimens, and the fracture surfaces were examined under scanning electron microscope. The results show that: (1) the interlaminar fracture toughness of Mode I is the basic characteristic of bamboo material. The mean value of G IC = 358 J/m2 (coefficient of variation = 16.88%) represents the resistance arresting crack propagation. No significant difference was found for G IC among the specimens located at different heights of the bamboo. (2) Due to the low G IC of bamboo, the crack propagation parallel to grain developed easily. The crack was a self-similar fracture without fiber-bridging. On the fracture surfaces, smooth fibers and plane ground tissue were found at the extended area of Mode I fracture along the longitudinal direction. Under scanning electron microscope, it could be seen that the crack propagation developed along the longitudinal interface between fibers or ground tissue. It indicates that the longitudinal interface strength was weak among bamboo cells.  相似文献

This study is focused on what factor mainly affects the mechanical properties of each wood species in the lateral direction. At first, the influence of the density which is closely related to mechanical properties in the longitudinal direction was also researched in the lateral direction. Thus, the elastic modulus, strength, and failure strain in the lateral tension were measured using thin cross-sectional samples of softwoods and hardwoods, having wide varieties in the density and anatomical features. The results obtained are as follows. The linear relationship between the density and the elastic modulus which has been verified in the longitudinal direction was not observed in the lateral tension for the samples with the annual ring inclination of 90°, which samples were influenced by ray arranged parallel to the tensile direction. However, samples with the annual ring inclination of 45° showed the high correlation between the density and the elastic modulus due to the shearing deformation of the cell shape. On the other hand, the proportional relationship between the elastic modulus and strength which has been verified in the longitudinal direction was not observed in the lateral tension except for the samples with the annual ring inclination of 90°. From the results obtained, it was revealed that the mechanical properties of wood in the lateral direction were significantly affected not only by the density but also by the structural features such as deformation of cell shapes, arrangement of ray or vessels, and the degree of the transition from the earlywood to the latewood.  相似文献

In the present study, the conditions of chip propagation or fracture in orthogonal oblique cutting of beech wood (Fagus silvatica) in the 90°–0° direction for a type-I chip has been investigated. The force required for orthogonal wood cutting is pronouncedly variable, which is the consequence of exchangeable different ways of material breakdown. The chip formation process is discontinuous because of interrupted splitting of the material in front of the cutting tool. A 10-mm-thick specimen was cut at a rake angle of 31° and 42° with chip thicknesses ranging from 0.1 to 0.3?mm. The chip segment length increased with the chip thickness. A chip of varying length and thickness was modelled using the finite element method. For each case, the bending or compressive stress in the chip and the stress intensity factor at the crack tip was calculated. The segment length of the chip can be calculated by taking into account the condition that a crack propagates when the stress intensity factor K I at the crack tip equals the critical stress intensity factor K IC, and the bending or compressive stress σ x in the chip is smaller than the strength σ u . Good agreement between the calculated and the measured values was observed. The chip segment length can change considerably already with small changes in the bending strength and critical stress intensity factor. This large sensitivity is also confirmed by the fluctuation of the measured chip segment lengths by as much as 400%.  相似文献

The influence of the span/depth ratio when measuring the mode II fracture toughness of wood by endnotched flexure (ENF) tests was examined. Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Sarg.) was used for the specimens. The ENF tests were conducted by varying the span/depth ratios; and the fracture toughness at the beginning of crack propagation GIIc was calculated by two equations that require the load-deflection compliance or Young's modulus. Additionally, the influence of the span/ depth ratio on the load-deflection compliance was analyzed by Timoshenko's bending theory in which additional deflection caused by the shearing force is taken into account. The following results were obtained: (1) When the span/depth ratio was small, the fracture toughness calculated with the data of load-deflection compliance was large. In contrast, the fracture toughness calculated with the equation containing Young's modulus tended to be constant. (2) In the small span/depth ratio range, the load-deflection compliance was estimated to be larger than that predicted by Timoshenko's bending theory. (3) To obtain the proper fracture toughness of wood with a single load-deflection relation, the span/depth ratio should be larger than that determined in several standards for the simple bending test method of wood, 12:16.  相似文献

The method of digital image correlation (DIC) was applied to the digital image of orthogonal cutting parallel to the grain of hinoki, and the strain distribution near the cutting edge was evaluated. The wood fracture associated with chip generation was considered as mode I fracture, and the stress intensity factor KI for fracture mode I was calculated from the strain distribution according to the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics for the anisotropic material. The calculated KI increased prior to crack propagation and decreased just after the crack propagation. The change in KI before and after crack propagation, ΔKI, decreased in accordance with the crack propagation length, although the variance in ΔKI should depend on the relationships between the resolution of DIC method and the dimensions of cellular structure. The calculated KI in this study was almost on the same order as reported in the literatures. It was also revealed, for the case of chip generation Type 0 or I, the stress intensity factor for fracture mode II could be negligible due to the higher longitudinal elastic properties of wood in the tool feed direction than the one radial ones, and the mode I fracture was dominant.  相似文献

The fracture toughness of thermally modified beech (Fagus sylvatica L) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior L) wood under Mode I loading was quantified using Compact Tension (CT) specimens, loaded under steady-state crack propagation conditions. The influence of three heat-treatment levels and three moisture contents, as well as two crack propagation systems (RL and TL) was studied. Complete load–displacement records were analysed, and the initial slope, k init, critical stress intensity factor, K Ic, and specific fracture energy, G f, evaluated. In the case of both species, thermal modification was found to be significantly affect the material behaviour; the more severe the thermal treatment, the lower the values of K Ic and G f, with less difference being observed between the most severe treatments. Moisture content was also found to influence fracture toughness, but had a much less significant effect than the heat treatment.  相似文献

Mode I fracture and acoustic emission of softwood and hardwood   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  
 The Mode I fracture behaviour of two softwoods (spruce and pine) and three hardwoods (alder, oak and ash) was studied in the RL crack propagation system using the splitting test in combination with monitoring acoustic emission (AE) activity. Test parameters measured included notch tensile strength, specific fracture energy, characteristic length and AE cumulative counts, AE amplitudes as well as parameters characterizing the frequency spectra of the emitted acoustic emission events. The notch tensile strength was found to correlate with density. The specific fracture energy and characteristic length showed the different crack propagation process between the softwoods and hardwoods. The softwoods fractured in a more ductile way and the hardwoods showed a more linear elastic behaviour. This finding was supported by the AE measurements showing much less cumulative counts for the hardwoods indicating that less microcracks were formed and that processes like fiber bridging were not so effective. Differences in the frequency domain of the AE signals between softwoods and hardwoods could not be detected. Received 13 January 1999  相似文献

In situ tensile tests were performed in an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) on earlywood, transition wood and latewood cells of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.). In order to examine the single wood fibres in a wet state, a specially designed tensile testing stage with a cooling device was built. The fracture behaviour of the cell types was studied at high resolution while straining. Different failure mechanisms were observed for the three tissue types. The thin-walled earlywood fibres showed tension buckling which gave rise to crack initiation and resulted in low tensile strength, whereas thick-walled latewood fibres predominately failed by transverse crack propagation without fibre folding.  相似文献

Fracture toughness of wood and wood composites has traditionally been characterized by a stress intensity factor, an initiation strain energy release rate (G init) or a total energy to fracture (G f). These parameters provide incomplete fracture characterization for these materials because the toughness changes as the crack propagates. Thus, for materials such as wood, oriented strand board (OSB), plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL), it is essential to characterize the fracture properties during crack propagation by measuring a full crack resistant or R curve. This study used energy methods during crack propagation to measure full R curves and then compared the fracture properties of wood and various wood-based composites such as, OSB, LVL and plywood. The effect of exposure to elevated temperature on fracture properties of these materials was also studied. The steady-state energy release rate (G SS) of wood was lower than that of wood composites such as LVL, plywood and OSB. The resin in wood composites provides them with a higher fracture toughness compared to solid lumber. Depending upon the internal structure of the material, the mode of failure also varied. With exposure to elevated temperatures, G SS for all materials decreased while the failure mode remained the same. The scatter associated with conventional bond strength tests, such as internal bond and bond classification tests, renders any statistical comparison using those tests difficult. In contrast, fracture tests with R curve analysis may provide an improved tool for characterization of bond quality in wood composites.  相似文献

We examined the applicability of end-notched flexure (ENF) tests for measuring the mode II fracture toughness of wood. Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Sarg.) was used for the specimens. The fracture toughness at the beginning of crack propagationG IIc and that during crack propagationG IIR were calculated from the loadloading point compliance and load-crack shear displacement (CSD) relations. The obtained results were compared with each other, and the validity of measurement methods were examined. The results are summarized as follows: (1) The value ofG IIc increased with the increase in initial crack length. When measuringG IIc by ENF tests, we should be aware of the dependence ofG IIc on the initial crack length. (2) The value ofG IIR initially increased with the crack length, and it reached a constant value. (3) Measurement of the CSD is recommended when obtainingG IIR because the crack length, which has a great influence on theG IIR calculation, is implicitly included in the CSD. (4) We found that the crack length during its propagation should be evaluated by the final crack length.  相似文献

 The mechanical performance of pine sapwood (pinus sylvestris), impregnated with linseed oil to different take-up levels, is evaluated using several test methods. SEM is used to study morphological changes following the impregnation procedure. The reduction of mechanical properties is attributed to a) localized cell wall damage in the ray region that facilitates longitudinal inter-cell split in L-R plane (macrocrack) initiation and propagation; b) submicroscopical cracking in the S1 sublayer that reduces the resistance to Mode I and Mode II inter-cell splitting at any location where the oil front has passed. Mechanical testing shows the following effect of the impregnation on failure a) the Mode I fracture toughness G Ic in L-T and L-R planes, determined in DCB test, is significantly lowered with no significant difference in fracture resistance reduction in between planes; b) 3-point flexural test for specimen geometry leading to cracking in R-L and T-L planes show that the flexural strength as well as flexural modulus are reduced due to impregnation; c) 3-point flexural tests on longitudinal specimens used to determine the impregnation effect on longitudinal modulus E L and shear moduli G LT and G LR , reveal only minor changes. Fracture surfaces in mechanical tests are analyzed using SEM, and differences are explained by described microdamage mechanisms. Received 10 August 1999  相似文献

The paper deals with the experimental characterisation of damage evolution within the radial (R)–tangential (T) growth plane of softwood loaded in tension perpendicular to the grain. The reported investigations comprise in-situ monitoring of crack propagation by means of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and evaluations of crack patterns of broken specimens. Three types of notched specimens, representing different crack propagation systems, were tested; for all configurations, both, loading and crack propagation direction were located within the RT plane of wood. The CLSM pictures of broken specimens show distinct differences among the regarded configurations with respect to crack paths. Two different damage mechanisms were identified being rupture of earlywood cell walls in the case of crack propagation in tangential direction and debonding of wood fibers, i.e. rupture of the interface zone between adjacent tracheids, in case of crack progression in radial direction. In the case of an intermediate crack system with an angle of 45° between initial notch direction and radial direction the crack evolution was monitored in-situ during the tension test, whereby the combined action of both basic fracture mechanisms was observed.  相似文献

 The measurement method of mode II fracture toughness-crack propagation length relation (i.e., the resistance curve, or R-curve) was examined by end-notched flexure tests on sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis Carr.). The tests were conducted by varying the span/depth ratios under the constant loading point displacement condition. The fracture toughness was measured from the load-crack shear displacement (CSD) and load-longitudinal strain relations. The crack length was determined by a combination of load-CSD and load-strain compliances and Williams's end correction theory, as well as the observation of crack propagation. When the specimen had an appropriate span/depth ratio, the fracture toughness and crack propagation length were measured from the load-CSD compliance and combined load-CSD and load-strain compliances, respectively, and the R-curve could be determined properly under the constant loading point displacement condition.

A dead tree of Pinus armandii Franch. var. amamiana (Koidz.) Hatusima (abbreviated to PAAm) was obtained from a natural habitat on Tanega-shima Island and various properties of its wood were investigated. Grain angle was measured and soft X-ray analysis was undertaken to obtain the density in each annual ring. Unit shrinkage and dynamic properties were measured by shrinkage, bending, and compression tests. Variations of wood properties in the radial direction, relationships of wood properties to density, and annual ring width were examined. Roughly speaking, variations in the radial direction of the grain angle, twist angle by drying, Young’s modulus and strength in static bending, absorbed energy in impact bending, compressive Young’s modulus, compressive strength, and compressive proportional limit corresponded to the variation of annual ring width. As a result, it was determined that if PAAm is afforested artificially for the purposes of lumber production and conservation, the annual rings of logs should not be too widely spaced. Wood properties of PAAm were similar to those of Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii Parl.), which is another representative pine on Tanegashima Island. This study was presented in part at the 56th Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Hiroshima, August 2007  相似文献

Summary A testing procedure with a new and simple specimen shape is presented which is appropriate to characterize fracturing of inhomogeneous and complex materials like wood. With this, the fracture energy of spruce wood is determined in the TL and RL direction. The size effect, i.e. influences of specimen dimensions on KIC and Gf (specific fracture energy) are investigated. Stress and deformation distribution in the newly developed specimens are analysed with FE methods. The measured load-displacement curves are approximated by bilinear softening diagrams and FE analysis. Based on these results, it is tried to interpret typical deviations from LEFM's behaviour by mechanisms like microcracking, crack branching or crack tip bridging.The authors thank Dr. A. Teischinger for supplying the testing material and Dipl. Ing M. Elser for preparation of the diagrams.

A fracture mechanics model for analysis of crack initiation and propagation in wood is defined and applied. The model has the advantage of being simple, yet it enables reasonably general and accurate analysis commonly associated with more complex models. The present applied calculations are made by means of the finite element method and relate to progressive cleavage fracture along grain. The calculations concern a tapered double cantilever beam specimen and an end-notched beam. Comparisons are made of experimental test results. The fracture properties of the wood are modelled by means of a very thin linear elastic layer located along the crack propagation path. The properties of the layer are such that the strength and fracture energy of the wood are represented correctly. This makes a single linear elastic calculation sufficient for strength prediction. Both crack development and pre-existing cracks can be analyzed. Both material strength and fracture energy and stiffness are taken into account, their relative influence on structural strength being different for different elements. The fracture layer is in the finite element context represented by joint elements. Propagation of a crack can be analyzed either by a series of elastic calculations corresponding to different crack lengths or by use of a finite element code for non-linear analysis. The computational results include sensitivity analysis with respect to the influence of the various material parameters on structural strength.  相似文献

To examine the effectiveness of long rotation forestry and the potential of complete utilization of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Carriere), we designed a tensile test using the lumber from six 87-year-old sample trees. Results showed that strength properties of lumber varied greatly in the radial direction within trees, but all sample trees showed a similar trend. There was little difference in dynamic Young's modulus but a large difference in tensile strength (TS) between the lumber and small clear specimens from undestroyed parts of the lumber. These differences decreased with an increase in ring number and became constant after 30 years. The presence and distribution of knots markedly affected the TS; and among the knot indices, the knot number (Kn) and knot area ratio of a maximum single knot (Km) proved to be effective for explaining the effect of knots. The distribution of Kn and Km in the radial direction agreed with the variation of TS in the radial direction. By investigating the variation patterns of lumber and small clear specimens in the radial direction, it was found that the strength properties of both required a long time, about 30 years, to reach a relatively constant state.Part of this report was presented at the 49th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Tokyo, April 1999  相似文献
