Techniques in Experimental Mechanics Applicable to Forest Products Research Book

Proceedings of the Experimental Mechanics Plenary Session at the Forest Products Research Society Annual Meeting, Portland, ME, June 29, 1994. Papers include: introduction to techniques in experimental mechanics; strain measurement on wood using extensometers, clip-on electrical transducers, electrical resistance strain gauges, & tell-tale gauges; image correlation for measuring strain in wood & wood-based composites; application of imaging technologies to experimental mechanics; full field stress/strain analysis: use of moire & TSA for wood structural assemblies; & characterizing the wood fiber/polymer interface.
