E35 - Fracture mechanics and micromechanics of wood and wood composites with regard to wood machining

The main objective of the Action is to achieve a better understanding of the relationship between wood structure at the cellular level of the structure of wood composites respectively and the mechanical as well as the fracture performance of wood machining at the macroscopic scale. The COST Action will provide new co-operation and research on the fracture mechanical properties of wood and the correlating structural features.
