The Location of the Neutral Axis in Wood Beams with Multiple Knots

Creator:

Voigt, Levi R.

Abstract:

In a homogenous and isotropic material, the location of the neutral axis coincides with the location of the centroid of the beam. Wood is anisotropic, meaning that it has different properties in different directions. It is also non-homogenous, meaning that the beam exhibits different properties at different locations throughout its...
