β¦ Synopsis
Six hundred short sections taken from 23 flatsawn 2 x 12-inch planks of construction grade Douglas-fir were tested in tension perpendicular to grain. ~ost of the specimens contained defects in the form of checks, knots, resin streaks, pitch pockets, and pith. Checks were found to be the major strength-reducing defect. The effect of checks could be analyzed effectively by using the concepts of fracture mechanics.

## Abstract Dentin structure and properties are known to vary with orientation and location. The present study explored the variation in the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of dentin with location in the tooth. Hourglass specimens were prepared from dentin located in the center, under cusps, and in
