To find a desirable method for estimating the length effect on tensile strength (σ ₜ), we used three methods to analyze theσ ₜ data from a Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) small, clear specimen. These methods included a nonparametric method, the projection method of Hayashi, and a proposed method. The estimated length effect parameters (g) by the nonparametric method were 0.0237 and 0.0626 for 50th and 5th percentileσ ₜ distributions, respectively. The projection method requires a standardE f level (E *: dynamic Young's modulus), arbitrarily chosen for calculating theg value. Theg values from the projection method were 0.1122 for lowE *, 0.0898 for averageE *, and 0.0759 for highE *. The estimatedg values by the proposed method using selectedσ ₜ data were 0.1020 and 0.1838 for the 50th and 5th percentiles, respectively. Among the three methods, the nonparametric method did not consider the different distribution of Young's modulus among specimens, and the estimated length effect parameters (g) by this method were small. The projection method reduced the influence of Young's modulus, but the length effect parameters varied with theE * level. The proposed method minimized the dependence onE f distributions among specimens. we believe the latter method is desirable for estimating the length effect on tensile strength.
