The goal of the thesis is to investigate two main questions for the purpose of modelling fractures in timber with a finite element method. The first question is to evaluate the use of digital image correlation during a three point bending test to obtain mean values for tensile strength and fracture energy, and the follow up question is if it is possible to replicate the tests with these mean values. The final result should be a guide to help modelling fractures in timber and how to obtain the necessary data. ...
