Collect a variety of samples of wood species used in construction and conduct various tests, such as:- Tension and compression tests.
if the stress at failure and bending is 7200 PSI for small, perfect samples of a certain species of wood, what is the allowable bending stress for a piece of lumber with defects that are judged to reduce the strength by 40%?
A pine wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 50 mmx50 mm x 250 mm and grain parallel to its length. The deformation was measured over a gauge length of 200 mm. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain failure. The load- deformation results are shown in table below: Load (kN) Deformation (mm) 8.9 0.457 17.8 0.597 26.7 0.724 34.5 0.838 43 0.965 52.9 1.118 62.01 1.27 71.03 1.422 80.1 1.588 89 1.765 99.6 1.956 108 2.159 111.3 2.311 112 2.456 a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress-strain relationship. b. Calculate the modulus of elasticity. С. What is the failure stress?
