2. Mechanical properties of wood and derived materials
2.1 Solid wood
Because of its anisotropy, wood can only be correctly defined by knowing the mechanical characteristics in each of the three main directions of its structure (figure 1): axial direction (parallel to the fibers), tangential direction (perpendicular to the fibers and parallel to the growth rings), radial direction (perpendicular to the fibers and perpendicular to the growth rings).
