Elasticity of wood and wood polymer composites in tension compression and bending

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

The ratio of tensile to compressive modulus of elasticity for untreated basswood was approx. 1.9 and for untreated sugar maple approx. 1.3. It approached 1.1 with high polymer loadings. The method of transformed sections gave good estimates of along the grain, tensile, compressive and bending elastic values for maple wood and maple wood polymer composite.
