Abstract The critical stress intensity factor of mode I (K Ic) obtained by compact tension (CT) tests of wood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) was experimentally and numerically analyzed. A double cantilever beam (DCB) test was also conducted and the results were compared with those of the CT tests. Similar to the results of single-edge-notched bending (SENB) and single-edge-notched tension (SENT) tests previously conducted, the value of K Ic was obtained properly from the CT test when an additional crack length was taken into account.

Abstract The critical stress intensity factor of mode I (K Ic) obtained by single-edge-notched bending (SENB) tests of wood was experimentally and numerically analyzed. A double cantilever beam (DCB) test was also conducted and the results were compared with those of SENB tests. The K Ic value was obtained by introducing an additional crack length into the equations used for analyzing the SENB test of isotropic material when the initial crack length ranged from 0.1 to 0.6 times the depth of the specimen.
