Study on wood fracture parallel to the grains based on fractal geometry
Source abstract
Abstract
The fracture toughness (KIC) parallel to the grains of five kinds of wood was tested by compact tension specimen and the profile contour analysis method was employed to measure fractal dimensions Ds of their fracture surfaces. The results show that fracture toughness parallel to the grains of various woods is different because of their textural diversity and such differences are also shown on the morphology of fracture surfaces. Furthermore, the fractal dimension Ds and fracture toughness \({KICTL }\) parallel to the grains have evident direct proportional relation, and this helps to reveal the inherent relationship between fracture toughness of wood and its microstructure.
