I know how to calculate compression and tension of plywood 0 degrees and 90 degrees to the grain. But what about 45 degrees? Is it weaker that way? I would think the layers would tend to shear apart, but then they do have a lot of contact surface area, so maybe it is not a problem.
Can plywood almost be thought of as uniform like metal, in the planes of the grains?
