Popis: In this study, we selected ancient building timber as the research object. A series of static load tests were conducted to analyze the different performances of timber under tensile and compressive loads. After that, vibration fatigue tests on ancient timber samples were carried out under different upper limit stress ratios. Finally, a dynamic constitutive model of ancient timber was established based on the Ramberg–Osgood model. The static load test results show that the tensile strength was approximately 80% of the compressive strength. Meanwhile, the samples that failed under compressive pressure had obvious residual strength, and their failure strains were also much larger than those under tensile stress. In the vibration fatigue tests, the stress–strain curves were analyzed and the results showed that the curves displayed a trend moving to sparse from dense during the loading process. Meanwhile, the curves moved right with the increase in the upper limit stress ratios. The relationship between axial strain and the number of cycles appeared to be characterized by a three-stage form, i.e., damage occurrence, damage expansion, and damage penetration, and this relationship was formulated by a nonlinear function model. Finally, a dynamic constitutive model with high accuracy in describing the vibration fatigue characteristics of ancient timber was established by converting constant parameters to the variable parameters of the Ramberg–Osgood model.
