چکیده
The objective of this study was to develop an accurate and simple method for measuring the engineering coeffi cients of the 3D elasticity tensor of wood. A method using a semi-ring extensometer (SRE) and a compression specimen (6-specimen technique) is proposed. The SRE is made of a semi-ring stainless steel blade pin-jointed to two aluminum fi xing plates, and two resistance strain gauges bonded to the top and bottom faces of the blade at mid-span position. Groups of fi ve matched compression specimens (20 mm x 20 mm x 60 mm) from black spruce wood (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), cut in six different orientations with respect to load axis (three orthotropic directions and three diagonal directions at an angle of 45 degrees to the load axis) were used for the calibration of the SRE. A resistance strain gauge bonded directly to the wood surface was used as a reference for both the axial and transverse measurements. The validation of the technique was made with another series of specimens cut in the same six orientations. The axial strain data of the SRE were then compared to the ones obtained from a linear displacement sensor (LVDT). For the transverse directions, the SRE results in terms of Poisson’s ratios and shear moduli were compared with corresponding data obtained from the literature. Results showed that the R value of the relationship between the Young’s moduli determined with the SRE and the LVDT varied from 0.88 to 0.97. The SRE technique appeared also reliable to evaluate both the Poisson’s ratios and shear moduli as the obtained values were in good agreement with the literature data. As compared to bonded strain gauges, the SRE technique is reusable, simpler and cheaper to use and its sensitivity is nearly independent of temperature.

The decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...
متن کاملElzaki transform method for finding solutions to two-dimensional elasticity problems in polar coordinates formulated using Airy stress functions
In this paper, the Elzaki transform method is used for solving two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in plane polar coordinates. Airy stress function was used to express the stress compatibility equation as a biharmonic equation. Elzaki transform was applied with respect to the radial coordinate to a modified form of the stress compatibility equation, and the biharmonic equation simplified t...
