Abstract
An approach to assessing the limits of applicability of linear and non linear fracture mechanics in wood fracturing studies is presented. A m echanism for wood fracturing and its energetics is proposed based on m icroscopic studies and on analysis of the load vs. displacement curves of compact specimens tested for off-centered tension under periodic u nloading.
