| Research Abstract |
1. Creep and fracture of wood having a crack under humidity steady state
Compact tension specimens designed by an ASTM standard were subjected to tensile stress perpendicular to a crack surface. Sugi and hemlock were used. Creep tests were done under stress levels from 45 % to 85% of maximum load. Crack opening displacement, acoustic emission(AE), clack length, humidity and temperature were measured simultaneously during tests. A life time of a specimen during a creep failure can be estimated by a minimum creep speed of COD during a steady creep stage. Above stress level of 60%, AE was detected frequently at initial creep stage and before catastrophic fracture. A few AE was also detected during steady creep stage. A creep limit was estimated to be below a stress level of 50%, because no AE was detected at this stress level.
2. Creep and fracture of wood having a crack under humidity non-steady state
Creep tests of sugi under natural environmental condition were conducted. Fracture occurred relatively low stress level, below 40%. Crack propagation occurred when high humidity condition continued in such as a rainy day. COD creep curves showed daily cyclic change, however, a mechano-sorptive phenomenon which commonly occurres at a clear wood specimen was not observed. Inner stress induced by moisture absorption increased a stress intensity factor near a crack tip, and it accelerated a crack propagation.
3. Effect of loading speed and modelization by a stress relaxation test
Effect of loading speed on fracture of wood having a crack was tested. Speed effect on load-COD diagram was explained by stress relaxation tests and a modelization using a Maxwell model. A fracture criterion based on elastic component of AE was proposed to characterize a critical condition.
