This lecture covers the physical properties of wood, including types of failure in bending, strength distributions in compression, bending, and tension tests, species comparison for mechanical properties, energy absorption and fatigue, factors influencing strength, equilibrium moisture content, and longitudinal, radial, and tangential shrinkage. The instructor also discusses the practical application of wood properties in the sport sector, focusing on ski cores.
