This work deals with strain analysis of tree during felling. The main goal is to describe the origin of the deformation field. Another aim is to explain the effect of individual cuts on the size of deformation forces. Two relatively new methods in the field of wood are used to investigate the experimentally, namely digital image correlation (DIC) and finite element method. The work deals with methodical foundations for tree research during its felling. The DIC method measured seven trees in the forest when felling. Using the results obtained by this experiment, the numerical model was validated. This comparison suggested higher rigidity of the body using the finite element method compared to the actual tree, but the reaction was similar. With respect to the higher stiffness, the model was used to describe the deformation field inside the tree and to describe the effect of each cut on this field. The thesis also draws attention to the methodological errors that can occur during felling and which have been described in the experiment. Another output is an indication of the direction in which further measurements should be made and the errors that occurred during this measurement to avoid repetition.
