  • Location of the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Holm, Sarah C.
    Abstract:
    It is commonly accepted that for the analysis of wood beams, the neutral axis coincides with the centroid of the beam. Although this assumption is used in analysis, wood is not an isotropic material, as it has different elastic properties in the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, nor is it...
