Fracture toughness of Khaya ivorensis and Magnolia obovata for mobility applications

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics
Ce travail porte sur l'étude de la résistance à la rupture de deux essences de bois. Il examine la possibilité d'utiliser des essences alternatives au Magnolia obovata, une essence japonaise, pour concevoir des satellites à base de structures en bois. L'utilisation de structures en bois permettrait de tendre vers la neutralité carbone à long terme.
