Abstract
The report presents preliminary results on fatigue of wood
subjected to tension perpendicular to the grain at a moisture
content around 12% and 17%. The main result of the paper concerns
the frequency dependency of the fatigue strength. At present it is
concluded that fatigue in tension perpendicular to the grain can
be time dependent as well as time independent depending on stress
level and moisture content.
