Abstract
Abstract
The asymmetric four-point bending test for obtaining shear properties of wood was examined. Rectangular bars with various notches on top and bottom surfaces of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Sarg.) were prepared as a specimen. The shear modulus, proportional limit stress, and shear strength were measured. The influence of notch configuration on the shear properties was examined independently by finite element calculations. The influence of notch configuration was not significant in experiments, while it was found relevant in finite element analyses. Although the pure shear stress condition could not be realized after the initiation of failure, the measurement of shear properties of solid wood simply by the asymmetric four-point bending test was feasible.
