BENDING
Bending results in longitudinal tension and compression stresses
distributed over the depth of the cross section. The tension stress leads
to a brittle failure due to the rupture of the wood.
COMPRESSION
Failure under compression stress perpendicular to the grain can also be
described as a ductile failure with plastic deformations and occurs
mainly at supports or at loading points where high loads have to be
transferred.
TENSION
Tension stress has to be considered parallel to the grain and
perpendicular to the grain directions. When the tensile capacity of the
timber is exceeded, brittle failure occurs.
Failure under tension stress perpendicular to the grain occurs more
often. Therefore, wood products are mostly optimised to increase the
tension strength perpendicular to the grain.
