Strength of wood is often thought of in terms of bending strength. This is certainly a useful yardstick of strength but is by no means the only one. A number of other strength criteria are described below. ... Measurements of tensile stress perpendicular to the grain are useful for quantifying resistance to splitting.

The tensile strength of a material is the value at which the material fails when subjected to a tensile force. (Tensile means a force pulling the wood fibers lengthwise, as opposed to a compressive force.) There are a lot of different types...

Wood is orthotropic - the strength is predominantly along one axis. Parallel to the grain, tensile is very high (pulling it) and compressive strength good (a pier), but shear is low.

and resulted in 43-80% increased tensile strength over the untreated samples. AFM topographies showed that oxygen plasma treatment changed the surface tomography and surface roughness of the wood fiber and PP. Nodular structures were found on the flat areas of the wood fiber and PP after undergoing oxygen plasma treatment.

Tensile strength ( \sigma_{UTS} or S_U ) is indicated by the maxima of a stress-strain curve and, in general, indicates when necking will occur. As it is an intensive property, its value does no...

This is the resistance to forces that would cause the wood to be pulled apart. They also may be applied either parallel to or at right angles to the grain. The maximum tensile strength exists when the force is parallel to the grain and it is 2-4 times grater than the crushing strength.
