What is Mode II fracture mechanics properties of wood measured by the asymmetric four-point bending test using a single-edge-notched specimen about?

Using a single-edge-notched specimen of spruce, an asymmetric four-point bending test was conducted to obtain the mode II fracture toughness G IIc and critical stress intensity factor K IIc , and the test method was numerically and experimentally analyzed. A three-point bend end-notched flexure test was also conducted and the results were compared with those of the asymmetric four-point bending tests. The crack length had a small influence on the load/loading-line displacement relationship in the asymmetric four-point bending test, so it was difficult to determine the value of G IIc , which requires the measurement of loading-line displacement. In contrast, the value of K IIc obtained by two tests was similar when the initial crack length ranged from 0.7 to 0.85 times the depth of the specimen. These results show that the asymmetric four-point bending test is a promising means of determining K IIc .
