Question

A wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 25 mm * 25 mm *
150 mm and grain parallel to its length. Displacement was measured over a
100 mm gauge length. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain to failure. The load–deformation results are as shown in Table P10.24.

a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress–strain relationship.
b. Calculate the modulus of elasticity.
c. What is the failure stress?
