A Comprehensive Review on the Fatigue of Wood and Wood-Based Materials
Abstract
The fatigue of wood is becoming increasingly important in modern engineering, as the safety of the structure must be guaranteed and the use of materials must be optimized at the same time. Predicting the fatigue behavior of wood remains a challenge for many researchers. Interest and the number of studies in this field have increased, highlighting the need for a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on wood fatigue. In this paper, we focus on the study of the fatigue of wood-based materials to understand the similarities and peculiarities of fatigue behavior compared to other engineering materials and to identify opportunities for new research. We present the influence of physical and mechanical properties on fatigue life and identify similarities in the fatigue behavior of wood, polymeric materials and steel. The basic properties that differentiate the fatigue life of wood from that of other materials are heterogeneity, orthotropy, viscoelasticity, hygroscopicity, mechanosorptivity and the lack of a clear threshold value for fatigue strength. The differences in fatigue life between solid wood and laminated wood are not uniformly defined by researchers. We provide an overview of the measurement methods used to monitor the fatigue state, the models used to predict fatigue life and the simulations of the stress-strain response to cyclic loading. We identify areas where wood is subject to fatigue and determine which areas are most critical under cyclic…
