fracture toughness; mode I critical stress intensity factor; fracture mechanics; beech wood
The aim of this research was to examine the content of catechin in normal and traumatic structures of beechwood by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Two discs were sawn from each of six harvested trees. The first disc was taken from the lower, wounded part and the second one from the up...
