Data from: Methodology for comparing wood adhesive bond load transfer using digital volume correlation

There is a lack of fundamental knowledge about the role which adhesive flow and
infiltration plays in the micro-mechanical performance of wood adhesive bonds.
This data set, for the first time, provides a way to study directly the
relationship between adhesive flow and the micro-mechanics of wood adhesive
bonds.

Specimens of three species: loblolly pine (*Pinus taeda*), Douglas-fir
(*Pseudotsuga menziesii*), and hybrid poplar
(*Populus deltoides x Populus trichocarpa*); and bondlines of three types:
earlywood-earlywood, earlywood-latewood, and latewood-latewood were bonded. An
iodinated phenol formaldehyde adhesive was formulated to provide x-ray
attenuation contrast between the wood cell material and the adhesive.

The specimens were cut into single lap-shear specimens with an approximate 2 mm
x 2 mm cross-section and 5 mm overlap. These specimens were then mechanically
loaded and scanned in a step-loading procedure at the 2-BM beamline at the
Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.
