This data set, for the first time, provides a way to study directly the relationship between adhesive flow and the micro-mechanics of wood adhesive bonds. Specimens of three species: loblolly pine (*Pinus taeda*), Douglas-fir (*Pseudotsuga menziesii*), and hybrid poplar (*Populus deltoides x Populus trichocarpa*); and bondlines of three types: earlywood-earlywood, earlywood-latewood, and latewood-latewood were bonded. An iodinated phenol formaldehyde adhesive was formulated to provide x-ray attenuation contrast between the wood cell material and the adhesive. The specimens were cut into single lap-shear specimens with an approximate 2 mm x 2 mm cross-section and 5 mm overlap. These specimens were then mechanically loaded and scanned in a step-loading procedure at the 2-BM beamline at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. For a more detailed description of the procedures used to generate this data. Consult “Methodology for comparing wood adhesive bond load transfer using digital volume correlation”.

There are 6 variables in this file: Variable 1. Sample Name: Each specimen is labeled using two letter codes for bondline type: earlywood earlywood (EE), earlywood latewood (EL), and latewood latewood (LL); species: southern yellow pine (SP), Douglas-fir (DF), and hybrid poplar (HP); adhesive type: high molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde (PH), and replication (A-Z or 1-9). The load displacement data for each specimen is labeled in the same manner. Variable 2. Project Number: These number indicate the order in which the scans were completed. Variable 3. Scans: The total number of scans for this specimen. Variable 4. Load: The load at which the scan was completed in Newtons. Variable 5. Rotation center: The approximate location of the rotation center for tomographic reconstruction in pixels. Variable 6. Comments ?: Some values are unknown; they are indicated with a ?. File 2. `Tomography`: Contains each of the raw tomography data from each scan of the specimens is uploaded separately. Each file is named `proj_N.hdf`, where `N` is the project number of the scan. Each has its own unique project number which may be decoded by consulting `SpecimenIndex.csv`. The file type is the hierarchical data format (`HDF5`), and each file is approximately 16.8 GB in size. The attributes of these `HDF5` files are organized in the [dxchange format](http://dxchange.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for raw tomographic data. File 3. `LoadDisplacement`: All of the specimens load displacement data together totals 7 MB. Each specimen has its own `AA-BB-CC-DD.csv` file, where `AA-BB-CC-DD` is the sample name that uses the same two letter codes from `SpecimenIndex.csv`. There are 3 variables in these files: Variable 1. sec: The experiment progress time in seconds. Variable 2. mm: The cross head displacement of the mechanical testing device in millimeters. Variable 3. N: The load applied by the mechanical testing device in Newtons. ## Purpose and Methods ### Intended Use and benefits Using segmentation, digital image correlation, and the collected load displacement data, the included data sets may be used to validate micromechanical models of wood adhesive bonds loaded in shear. They may also be used to model adhesive flow into the wood cellular structure. Although there is no accompanying ground truth, they may also be used to test reconstruction algorithms. ### Use Limitations Some of the specimens are contaminated with two part epoxy from mounting the specimens into the testing machine. Since the field of view is approximately 2 mm x 2 mm x 2 mm, the entire overlap of the specimen is not covered. ## Citing Articles Data from: Ching, D. J., Kamke, F. A., & Bay B. K. (2018).
