Abstract Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) is the most widely planted commercial tree species in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Because of the increasing use of this species for construction, the ability to predict wood stiffness is becoming more important. In this paper, a number of models are developed using data on cellulose abundance and orientation obtained from the SilviScan-3 system to predict the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (MOE) of small defect-free specimens. Longitudinal MOE was obtained from both bending tests and a sonic resonance technique. Overall, stronger relationships were found between the various measures of cellulose abundance and orientation and the dynamic MOE obtained from the sonic resonance measurements, rather than with the static MOE obtained from bending tests. There was only a moderate relationship between wood bulk density and dynamic MOE (R2=0.423), but this relationship was improved when density was divided by microfibril angle (R2=0.760). The best model for predicting both static and dynamic MOE involved the product of bulk density and the coefficient of variation in the azimuthal intensity profile (R2=0.725 and 0.862, respectively). The model parameters obtained for Sitka spruce differed from those obtained in earlier studies on Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus delegatensis, indicating that the model might require recalibration before it can be applied to different species.

1024x768 This research aimed to investigate possible differences in values of longitudinal modulus of elasticity for wood species usually employed for structural purposes, as Castanheira (Bertholletia excelsa), Cambará (Erisma uncinatum), Cumaru (Dipteryx odorata), Jatobá (Hymenaea stilbocarpa), Garapa (Apuleia leiocarpa) and Peroba Rosa (Aspidosperma polyneuron), obtained from compression and tension parallel to grain, and static bending tests. Recommendations of the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 7190:1997, Annex B, were followed. Statistical analysis results for the cited properties, had equivalent averages for the six wood species analyzed. This confirms that any of the three tests can be used to obtain the longitudinal elastic modulus and which could avoid the necessity of evaluating stiffness values for wood by more than one kind of mechanical test.

A series of unidirectional thermoplastic tapes (UD tapes) specimens based on carbon fibers and polyamide filled with fullerene soot in a concentration of up to 4 wt. % was made. From the obtained tapes by the method of hot pressing, composite materials (CM) specimens with 0/0 and 90/90 ply orientations were made. A study of the mechanical properties of the samples obtained by the 3-point bending test was made. Shown that the introduction of fullerene soot up to 2 wt. % can significantly increase the strength and modulus of elasticity of both longitudinal and transverse reinforcement directions. Further increase in the concentration of soot leads to a decrease in properties. A theory that describes the effect of fullerene soot on the properties of CM, including the increase and further decrease in properties, depending on the concentration of nanoparticles was proposed.

Abstract. The study aimed to analyze the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (Em), based on static bending tests, in different spans and confirm that it’s necessary adopt as 21 the ratio between span and height of the cross section of the specimen to turn no significant the influence of shear stress on vertical deflection. So, simplified equation to determine Emcan be employed. Specimens ofPinus elliottiivar.elliottiiandPinus elliottiivar. elliottii×Pinus cariabeaehondurensis(hybrid), came from Itapeva region, São Paulo State, Brazil, were considered. Bending tests were conducted in Labs of Experimental Campus Itapeva, UNESP, adapting recommendations of Brazilian Code ABNT NBR 7190. Twelve specimens of each species were tested. The trend lines for the plotted graphics showed clearly a nonlinear behavior until the neighborhood of ratio 21 and no expressive variations after this point, confirming that normative recommendations are correct.

This study mainly analyzed the factors that affected the mechanical properties of laminated veneer lumber(LVL). To increase the mechanical properties, metal mesh was inserted into LVL that made of fast-growing timber. Effects of different factors were evaluated on the mechanical properties of LVL, several enhancement modes of metal mesh were designed to reinforce the LVL. Then, the mechanical properties (modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity) of the LVL specimens were measured by static bending test. The results of different enhancement modes were analyzed and compared to investigate the effects of different factors. The position of metal mesh and the mesh number of metal mesh make significant effects on the MOE; the type of metal mesh and the angle of metal mesh-wood grain do not have any obvious effects on the MOE. The type of metal mesh and the position of metal mesh make significant effects on the MOR; the mesh number of metal mesh and the angle of metal mesh-wood grain do not have any obvious effects on the MOR.

Novel biomaterials for application to artificial bone with modulus of elasticity close to that of natural bone were prepared using bioresorbable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and high-strength β–Ca(PO3)2 fibers treated with dilute NaOH solution. PLLA dissolved by using methylene chloride was mixed with the fibers. After drying the mixture, it was hot-pressed uniaxially under a pressure of 40 MPa at 180 °C, resulting in fabrication of a PLLA composite containing β–Ca(PO3)2 fibers. Almost no degradation in the bending strength was observed even when a large amount of the fibers (≈50 wt. %) was introduced, and the modulus of elasticity was increased effectively with increasing the fiber content. The PLLA composite with modulus of elasticity of <5 GPa similar to that of natural bone was found to be prepared when the fiber content was over 35 wt. %. The bending test of the composites showed that very high energy is consumed for their fracture and that the fracture proceeds step by step, even beyond the maximum stress.

Hydroxyapatite is a biomaterial, more exactly a bioceramic, from a category of materials frequently used in bone implants. In order to improve mechanical properties, hydroxyapatite is doped with different chemical substitutes, among which the most used are: Mg2*, Zn 2*, La3*, Y3*, In3* Bi3* CO32-, Si and Mn. In the paper are presented the modality of obtaining hydroxyapatite doped with magnesium through wet precipitation method and also the determination of its main mechanical characteristics. There is also an analysis on the effects of magnesium on the following mechanical properties: density, hardness, longitudinal modulus of elasticity, conductibility and thermal stability.

Natural and artificial weathering treatments were studied to determine the change of wood properties as a function of exposure time. This paper aimed to provide general information about the mechanical performance of wood under natural and artificial weathering treatments and define a relationship between them. The eight strength classes of ABNT NBR 7190 (1997) were considered, in addition to a paired sampling approach. The modulus of elasticity and conventional strength value in static bending, strength in compression parallel to the grain, hardness perpendicular to the grain, and the elastic limit in the static bending test were investigated. Linear regression models for mechanical performances under artificial and natural aging treatments of the exposure time were made and tested using an analysis of variance. According to the results, 360 days of natural weathering provoked a change in mechanical performance of 15.72% that included a decrease in strength and modulus of elasticity and an increase in elastic limit. Twelve hours of the artificial weathering treatment provided the effect of 6.22 days of natural weathering exposure.
