Abstract
Wood is known for its excellent mechanical properties with respect to the low density. Its mechanical behaviour can be described by means of an orthotropic elasto-plastic material model [1]. The wood structure expresses a compromise between strengthening and stiffening on one hand and the demands of water transport inside the stem of the tree on the other hand [2,3].
