strength in grain/fiber direction Explanation: http://www.sctray.com/glossary.html Direction of the grain is important in carton design because greater tearing strength exists across the grain, and greater tensile strength in grain direction. |

strength parallel to the fiber direction (in the direction of the fibers) Explanation: “Louisiana State University ... The balsa wood has a fairly low modulus and strength in the direction perpendicular to the fibers, whereas the modulus and strength parallel to the fiber direction are relatively high.” ( http://etd.lsu.edu/docs/available/etd-04292004-103556/unrest... ) Japan Society of Civil Engineers A Bridge Made of Wood ... Among various strengths in the direction of the fiber, tension is the largest, next is bending, and compression is about 1/3 ~ 2/3 of the tension. ... On the other hand, values of Young’s modulus and the tension strength, perpendicular to the fiber direction are about 1/10 ~ 1/20 of those in the fiber direction.
