Elastic and Strength Properties of Heat-Treated Beech and Birch Wood

Elastic and Strength Properties of Heat-Treated Beech and Birch Wood

This paper deals with the impact of heat treatment on the elastic and strength properties of two diffuse porous hardwoods, namely Fagus sylvatica and Betula pendula. Two degrees of the heat treatment were used at temperatures of 165 °C and 210 °C. The dynamic and static elasticity modulus, bending s...
