Evaluation of increase in loss tangent from longitudinal vibration of wood log by considering apparent density difference between sapwood and heartwood caused by moisture content

Abstract This study confirmed that the loss tangent (or tangent loss, tan δ) obtained from the longitudinal vibration of a wood log increases with the apparent density difference between sapwood and heartwood, owing to moisture content difference. The reason for this was estimated to be the shear st...
