Asymmetrical internal stress profile within the kiln-dried lumber assessed using the restoring force technique on the half-split specimen has been investigated. Unlike the symmetrical internal stress profile in which the measured restoring force is completely described by an elastic beam theory, the asymmetrical internal stress profile also induces a so-called remnant force. By using the released strain and the elastic modulus data across the entire thickness obtained from the McMillen slice test, a numerical result based on the finite element model successfully simulates the restoring force profile for an entire range of both symmetric and asymmetric stress profiles. The finite element model is leveraged to evaluate the effect of asymmetry of stress profile on the remnant force. The value of the remnant force linearly depends on the stress profile deviation which is inferred to the level of asymmetric stress profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
