Tensile-Tearing Fracture Analysis of U-Notched Spruce Samples

Spruce wood (<i>Picea Mariana</i>) is a highly orthotropic material whose fracture behavior in the presence of U-shaped notches and under combined tensile-tearing loading (so-called mixed-mode I/III loading) is analyzed in this work. Thus, several tests are carried out on U-notched sampl...
