Summary: | Shear moduli of
Calabria pine (Pinus Brutia Ten.)
predicted using non-destructive test method in this study. Calabria pine logs
harvested from Beşkonak, Burdur and sawn in to Radial and Tangential planks. 26
surface polyhedral NDT samples prepared in 65x65x65mm dimensions. All samples
acclimatized at 20±1°C temperature and %65RH conditions. Ultrasonic shear wave
velocities of Calabria pine wood calculated using time of flight (ToF) values.
ToF values obtained using Olympus EPOCH 650 flaw detector and Panametrics NDT
V153 shear wave transducers. Shear
moduli predicted using calculated velocities. Average density and moisture
content of the non-destructive test samples determined as 0.558g/cm3 and
%12.66, respectively. Shear wave velocities and shear moduli of LR, LT, and RT
planes were determined as 1408, 1306 and 666m/s and 1108, 952 and 248N/mm2,
respectively.
