Grade Yield

Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] is one of the major non-native softwood species in the Maritimes. A project was undertaken to evaluate the grade yields and mechanical properties of Norway spruce. The project also provided comparative information on the wood quality of two Norway spruce provenances from Germany and Poland. Four plantations were selected for the study with two of these plantations containing trees of known provenances. One plantation was mature and the other three were juvenile. In total, 530 pieces of lumber and the same number of matched small clear specimens were tested for bending properties. Prior to testing, the lumber was visually graded according to both British and Canadian specifications. Quality of lumber varied significantly between sites. Lumber from the Polish provenance had slightly better mechanical properties than that from trees of the German provenance. Compared with published information, the plantation-grown Norway spruce had lower clear wood bending properties and specific gravity than primary eastern Canadian spruce species and balsam fir, and natural Norway spruce grown in Europe. Key words: Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.], wood quality, bending properties, grade yield

Elastoplastic Properties

The idealized inverse-opal lattice is a network of slender struts that has cubic symmetry. We analytically investigate the elastoplastic properties of the idealized inverse-opal lattice. The analysis reveals that the inverse-opal lattice is bending-dominated under all loadings, except under pure hydrostatic compression or tension. Under hydrostatic loading, the lattice exhibits a stretching dominated behavior. Interestingly, for this lattice, Young's modulus and shear modulus are equal in magnitude. The analytical estimates for the elastic constants and yield behavior are validated by performing unit-cell finite element (FE) simulations. The hydrostatic buckling response of the idealized inverse-opal lattice is also investigated using the Floquet–Bloch wave method.

Test Result

This paper analyzes the propagation characteristics of stress wave in the cap-pile system. Based on reflected wave method, the propagation velocity-time curve of stress wave in the defective pile with cap is calculated theoretically. Then the calculation result shows that the waveform curve by theoretical analysis is consistent with the defect location and pile position, and the waveform curve well reflects the propagation characteristics of waves in the pipe with cap. Finally the theoretical analysis method is used to assist the field testing, and compared with the test result to describe the integrity status of pile.

Elongation At Break

Epoxy resin / clay nanocomposites prepared by shock wave method. The structure and mechanical properties including hardness, stress, strain and elongation at break were investigated. XRD was used to observe the interlayer spacing of the OMMT and SEM was used to survey the morphology of nanocomposites system. The results indicated that nano-montmorillonite can effectively increase the mechanical property of the material. The nano-montmorillonite was well dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The optimal process condition is that shock time 5min, nano-MMT content of 5%, duty cycle 1:3, shock depth 3cm.

Abstract Maple and poplar are common names of species that grow in the eastern United States. Physical and mechanical properties were evaluated from small clear wood specimens of hard maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Specific gravity, static bending strength and modulus of elasticity, compression parallel and perpendicular to grain, and Janka hardness were tested. The experiments were carried out on defect-free specimens extracted from boards supplied by members of the Staircase Manufacturers Association. The material was donated by companies located in the eastern United States. On the basis of the findings, it can be stated that mechanical properties for maple and yellow poplar have not changed substantially because the average values remain in a range that is very close to the values published in previous studies.
