| Abstract: | The mechanical properties of 613 small clear specimens of 35 species (11 ring-porous hardwoods, 19 diffuse-porous hardwoods,
and 5 softwoods) were evaluated. The aim of the study was to examine indexes of wood quality that are easy to measure and
that exhibit a high correlation with bending performance and hardness that are essential properties of hardwood products.
The modulus of rigidity, dynamic modulus of elasticity, bending properties (modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, stress
at the proportional limit, absorbed energy, Tetmajer’s modulus), dynamic energy absorption by an impact bending test, compressive
strength parallel to the grain, shear strength, partial bearing strength, and Brinell’s hardness were measured. A high correlation
was found between dynamic modulus of elasticity and static modulus of elasticity. Bending stress at the proportional limit
was found to be approximately equivalent to the compressive strength parallel to the grain. Static energy absorption correlated
with dynamic energy absorption. Tetmajer’s modulus was found to be closely related to the ratio of the initial stiffness within
the elastic range to the secant modulus at the maximum load. A high correlation was observed between Brinell’s hardness and
partial bearing strength. The difference in the regression coefficients obtained for these correlations between the species
groups was small.
Part of this study was presented at the All Division 5 Conference of IUFRO, Taipei, October 2007 |
