ON THE EFFECT OF THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL GROWTH RINGS, SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND TEMPERATURE ON REDWOOD ELASTIC MODULUS

Due to the natural origin of wood, physical parameters such as specific gravity and the number of growth rings per inch affect its properties. In this study, to evaluate the effect that these physical parameters have on the elastic properties of wood, particularly on elastic modulus, a uniaxial comp...
