Models for numerical failure analysis of wooden structures

A probabilistic fracture mechanics method and strength analysis of glulam beams with holes

“…Some comments on the PFM strength predictions and on their correlation to the experimental test 33 results concerning the four design parameters are given below: 34…”

Moisture-induced stresses in spruce cross-laminates

“…However, under drying, crosslaminates failed in terms of cracking. Appropriate models were introduced by [20][21][22][23][24], among others.…”

Finite element analysis of timber containing branches – An approach to model the grain course and the influence on the structural behaviour

“…Based on the TSAI-WU criterion, a multi-surface plasticity with hardening and softening rules, respectively, for each material direction and depending on the type of loading has been developed to capture the characteristics of wood [21]. The model is based on the experimental data of [26].…”

“…Ductile failure is modelled using multi-surface plasticity formulations to cover each material direction. Brittle failure is captured by a fracture mechanical based formulation with cohesive elements [21,22]. The models are enhanced to describe the hygromechanical coupling [23,24].…”
