The elasto-mechanical behaviour of Douglas fir, its sensitivity to tree-specific properties, wind and snow loads, and implications for stability - a simulation study
A full 3-D model was developed to simulate the elasto-mechanical behaviour of trees subjected to wind and gravitational forces with the aim of estimating the stress and strain distribution at the surface of the stem. The model was adapted to geometry and material properties of a 64-year old Douglas...
