Summary:

The conventional airplane strut fails by buckling. The first signs of the failure usually are compression cracks on the concave side of bending, since wood is in general stronger in tension than compression. It would therefore appear that if an intial tension could be introduced in the outside fibers, this tension would have to be relieved before the compression load could make itself felt. Such initially stressed struts have been used in certain airplanes.
