Wood consists of a number of early and latewood alternately, in order to predict the strength of the mechanical properties of the specimen according to the proportion of early and latewood, a composite material model with early and latewood as the basic modeling unit was established. Starting from the fine level of wood, the wood is regarded as a composite material ideally bonded by two kinds of materials with different mechanical properties of early and late wood. Taking Yunnan pine as the research object, the respective mechanical parameters of early and late wood were obtained respectively, and according to the theory of composite plywood, the composite material tensile strength model of early and late wood with smooth grain was set up, and the test is utilized to verify the results. The results show that it is feasible to consider the wood as early and latewood composite material and use the laminate theory to predict its mechanical properties. The relative errors between the theoretical values of tensile elastic modulus and tensile strength and the experimental values are within 10%, which is highly reliable, and according to this model, the tensile strength and elastic modulus can be calculated through the measurement of the volume fraction of the latewood in the material, which will provide a good basis for the subsequent early and latewood tests and the further study of the early and latewood related models. This model can provide a reference basis and theoretical foundation for the in-depth study of the subsequent early and late material test and the related model of early and late material.
