Predicting strength of wood beams with tension end notches

An equation for predicting the strength of wood beams with tension end notches (TEN) was derived using a critical fillet hoop stress (CFHS) theory. The equation is a simplified description of the results of hundreds of finite element (FE) analyses of TEN beams with varied geometries (total of 690 co...
