Abstract

In order to investigate the compression performance and damage mechanism of fallen wood in the down-grain direction, northeast larix was taken as the research object. Through the monotonic compression test of 12 specimens, the deformation characteristics, damage mode, and stress-strain curve properties of larix wood under compression in the direction of the smooth grain were analyzed; scanning electron microscope technology was used to analyze the damage and fracture characteristics of wood fibers from the microscopic point of view to further reveal the damage mechanism of wood monotonic compression. The results showed that larix wood compressed in the paragons produced three damage modes of end collapse, shear damage and paragons splitting after the peak load, and the shear damage usually occurred at the junction of the early and late wood tubular cells due to the difference between the early and late wood tubular cells. On this basis, an isomorphic model was established to describe the compression of larix wood in the smooth grain.
