Applied data for modeling the behavior in cyclic torsion of beams in glued-laminated wood: influence of amplitude
Journal of Wood Science volume 49, pages 0036–0041 (2003)
Abstract
We present some applied data concerning the torsional behavior of glued-laminated wood beams under several loading programs. These data can contribute to adequate modeling of such behavior. We review the theory of the structure and rheology of the wood material and the torsion of beams, particularly those that are anisotropic, and we describe the test device and the experimental environment that led to the data in question. We show the failure characteristics of the studied beams in monotonous torsion and the influence of the loading amplitude in cyclic torsion on their behavior.
