Previous studies were devoted to various applications of digital image correlation (DIC) to wood and wood-based composites. However, the focus of these studies was qualitative strain distribution. Overall, there is a lack of testing protocols of DIC for quantifying the elastic properties of woody materials. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different specimen thicknesses and loading rates on measurement of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio by DIC. Young's modulus from DIC decreased as thickness increased at a loading rate of 0.254 mm min -1 . Comparing the different loading rates at a thickness of 0.794 mm, Young's modulus from DIC was not in agreement with the value obtained by means of the extensometer regardless of loading rate. However, Young's modulus from DIC at a thickness of 0.381 mm and a loading rate of 0.254 mm min -1  was in good agreement with the corresponding Young's modulus obtained by an extensometer. Poisson's ratio measured from different loading rates and specimen thicknesses was not significantly different between the two measurement systems. From the testing arrangement applied for this study, it is recommended that DIC should be applied at a loading rate of 0.254 mm min -1  or slower for strands with a thickness of 0.381 mm or less.
