EXAMINATION OF THE EDGEWISE SHEAR MODULUS OF WOOD MEASURED BY DYNAMIC SQUARE-PLATE TWIST

摘要

The edgewise shear modulus in the longitudinal-radial plane (Glr) obtained by dynamic square-plate twist tests of solid wood using specimens with various thicknesses was experimentally and numerically analyzed. A free-free flexural vibration test of the beam specimen was also conducted, and the results were compared with those of dynamic square-plate twist tests. The value of GLR was effectively obtained by introducing the coefficient obtained from the finite element analyses.
