Computational modeling of strand-based wood composites in bending

A stochastic finite element approach is presented herein for simulating the nonlinear behaviour of strand-based wood composites with strands of varying grain angle. The approach is based on the constitutive properties of the individual strands making it practical and versatile in application. It...
