The duration of load effect in tension perpendicular to the grain for Douglas fir

The duration of load problem in wood subjected to stresses in tension perpendicular to the grain is studied both analytically and experimentally. Analytically, viscoelastic models derived from the principles of fracture mechanics are developed and discussed with respect to their application to the f...
