SUMMARY:Is wood a material? - Stephen Walley\, SMF Group\, Cavendish Labor
 atory

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will critically examine the various ways in which 
 the mechanical properties of wood have been understood. Much understanding
  of wood's elastic and inelastic properties is based on models developed f
 or homogeneous materials. But wood’s cellular and fibrous nature means t
 hat its mechanical properties depend on the size of the test specimen. A m
 ore complete understanding of wood’s mechanical properties must take acc
 ount of it being in some sense intermediate between a material and a struc
 ture.
