<正>简要介绍木质复合材料的含义及复合材料力学的基本概念，并列举了木质复合材料设计的实例。

The basic concepts of wood-based composites are discussed in detail,such as two-phase materials,binders,particles and so on. A new kind of clsssification of wood-based composites is presented.The main principles of composite mechanics are introduced. especially orthotropy,Hooke’s law,strength tensor components,Tsai-Wu failure criterion and combined stress states.Some actual examples of designing wood-based composites are enumerated, such as fiberglass reinforced gluelam,laminated beams, and others.It is the objective of this paper to provide new theories for researches in wood science and development of new kinds of wood-based composites.
