Abstract
On occasion, structural wooden members in tension feature a sectional
alteration in the form of a notch. In spite of being a highly inhomogeneous
and anisotropic material, as an approximation wood may be modelled
as homogeneous and orthotropic. By means of such a material model,
first order linear elastic theory and a fracture mechanics condition on
the strain energy release rate, a formula is derived for the load bearing
capacity with respect to fracturing. The capacity is further simulated
in 2D with FEM both by employing a linear elastic method with node
releasing and by a non-linear method with a cohesive zone. The validity
of the analytical and numerical models are verified by laboratory tests
comprising 21 small wooden... (More)

of the analytical and numerical models are verified by laboratory tests
comprising 21 small wooden members with varying notch size. The
characteristic value of the capacity is determined by the 5th percentile
with 75 % confidence level. The results show that the formula is successful
in predicting the load bearing capacity of the wooden members which
were tested. However, the size effect has yet to be established. (Less)
