The main objective of this paper is to develop extended finite element method (XFEM) based models to simulate the crack propagation behavior of wood. Fracture toughness of Mode I and II and elastic properties of Northeast China larch were determined by experiments. Tests on three full-size curved Glulam beams subjected to four-point bending were conducted. XFEM based models incorporating ABAQUS were...
Experiments were conducted to determine some of the material properties of OSB. Tests covered three in-plane board directions and the through thickness direction. Results showed that OSB is an orthotropic material with better material properties in the direction of strand orientation. OSB in tension behaves almost linearly up to failure, whilst in compression it exhibits plasticity. This plasticity...
