of wood--the relation of wood material to stresses and strains. Much of the subject-matter is merely elementary mechanics of materials in general, though written with reference to wood in particular. Numerous tables are included, showing the various strength values of many of...
Preliminary to making a series of timber tests it is very important that a working plan be prepared as a guide to the investigation. This should embrace: (1) the purpose of the...
9. PART II FACTORS AFFECTING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOODWood is an organic product--a structure of infinite variation of detail and design.[17] It is on this account that no two woods are alike--in reality no two specimens from the s...
8. PART I THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOODThe mechanical properties of wood are its fitness and ability to resist applied or external forces. By external force is meant any force outside of a given piece of material whi...
