Abstract The moisture contents of sugi ( Cryptomeria japonica ), todomatsu Abies sachalinensis ) and hinoki Chamaecyparis obtusa logs were estimated using a method content estimation proposed in our previous study. In the course estimation, it was revealed that regression line correlation between specific dynamic Young’s modulus E / ρ tangent loss (tan δ green wood different from moisture-condi...
