Abstract

The paper aims to study the status of efforts and strains in structural bar elements made of anisotropic materials.Because of the fiber structure of wood, it is classified as an anisotropic material with the physical and mechanical properties varying after three main directions (longitudinal, transverse, radial).The present study establishes the general equations for bending of anisotropic bars and conducts a comparative study of efforts obtained by numerical and analytical methods.Also, it compares the efforts and strains states considering physical and mechanical properties of anisotropic materials with the efforts and strains of isotropic and linear elastic materials.
