Özet
Key message Central apex of bifurcations has higher specific fracture energy in TR fracture system than that of four sampling locations. This could be due to higher density and interlocked grain formation. Abstract Forks are one of the important biomechanical structures in trees because of their potential vulnerability to splitting. Many researchers have investigated the strength and stiffness properties of tree forks, but very little is known about the toughening mechanism within tree forks. In this study, the specific fracture energy (G f, Jm−2) of forks of hazel (Corylus avellana L.) was investigated in the RT (Radial-Tangential) and TR (Tangential-Radial) fracture systems using double-edge-notched tensile tests. Sample G f values were measured at between the central apex of bifurcations, at the side apices of bifurcations, in the …
