Study on Application of Stress Wave for Nondestructive Test of Wood Defects

Article Preview

Abstract:

The elm wood samples were tested by the technique of stress wave, and the testing results were analyzed by using the statistic software of SPSS. The results showed that the moister content of wood, wood crack, the sizes of holes and numbers of holes have significant influence on propagation parameters and dynamic modulus of elasticity. Under the same specifications, the propagation time of the stress wave was longer in the wood with holes or cracks than the perfect wood samples, and the time become longer with the increasing the sizes and numbers of holes or cracks. The studying results of the thesis will provide a sound background for the application of stress-wave technique in detecting the inner defects of wood products and other wooden structures.
