RESUMO -O conhecimento do comportamento da madeira mediante ações de curta duração contribui para um projeto estrutural mais seguro, entretanto não sendo a tenacidade parte integrante das propriedades mecânicas comumente investigadas na caracterização deste material. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar, com o uso de modelos de regressões polinomial linear, quadrática e cúbica, a possibilidade da estimativa da tenacidade com o conhecimento da densidade aparente de seis espécies de madeira (Angico, Eucalipto, Jatobá, Paricá, Pinus e Teca). Os resultados dos modelos de regressão evidenciaram a significância e representatividade de todos os ajustes investigados, consistindo o polinomial cúbico o mais eficiente na estimativa da tenacidade da madeira.Palavras-chave: Tenacidade; Modelos de regressão; Densidade aparente.
WOODEN TOUGHNESS AS FUNCTION OF THE APPARENT DENSITYABSTRACT -The knowledge on the behavior of wood in situations of short load contributes to the development of a safer structural design. However, toughness is not part of the mechanical properties commonly investigated in the characterization of this material. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate, the possibility to estimate the toughness with the knowledge of the apparent density of 6 Brazilian tropical wooden species (Angico, Eucalyptus, Jatobá, Paricá, Pine and Teak), by using linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial regression models. The results highlighted the significance and representation of all adjustments investigated, and the cubic polynomial was the most efficient for estimating the wood toughness.
No Brasil, as últimas décadas foram marcadas pela crescente produção de paineis de madeira seguida pelo aumento do consumo nacional; isto descreve o quão promissora é a área devido à sua grande potencialidade quanto ao desenvolvimento de novos produtos e tecnologias; como exemplo disto existe a possibilidade de mistura entre materiais lignocelulósicos e os diversos resíduos produzidos pela sociedade. Entre tais resíduos o plástico é o que apresenta maior abundância nos descartes domésticos. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou determinar propriedades físicas de paineis aglomerados homogêneos confeccionados com partículas de madeira de Eucalyptus sp e Pinus sp e de embalagens de película de polipropileno biorientado tendo, como adesivo, a resina poliuretana à base de óleo de mamona. Foram avaliadas as propriedades: inchamento em espessura e absorção de água, com corpo de prova com e sem impermeabilização, e massa específica. Concluiu-se que, dos fatores investigados, apenas o uso do impermeabilizante foi significativo. De acordo com a ANSI A208.1 (ANS, 1999) os paineis produzidos são classificados como de alta massa específica (H). Relativamente ao inchamento em espessura por 2 h, os paineis atenderam ao exigido pela NBR 14810 (ABNT, 2013) para espessura de 8 a 13 mm.
Wood-based panels have been widely used around the world in various segments of timber industry. Thus, alternative raw-materials have been systematically researched in order to reduce of wood demand in particleboard production. The aim of this work was to produce and evaluate particleboards of Eucalyptus grandis and oat hulls (Avena sativa), bonded under pressure with castor oil based polyurethane resin, in the proportion of 10% relative to the dry mass of the particles. The percentages of particles used per material were: Eucalyptus grandis 100, 85, 70 and 0% and oat hulls 0, 15, 30 and 100%, respectively. Physical-mechanical performance of the panels produced was evaluated based on standards ABNT NBR 14810:2006 [1] and BS EN 312:2003 [2] . By analysis of variance (ANOVA), the fraction of particles of Eucalyptus grandis was significant only in the modulus of rupture (MOR) in static bending. Panels produced with 100% oat hulls presented highest value of MOR.
ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to determine the modulus of elasticity (MOE) in static bending using two different calculation methods, a simple one based on Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 14810 (ABNT, 2006), and an alternative one, based on the Least Squares Method, and evaluate whether there is statistical equivalence between these MOE calculation methods. The alternative method employed results obtained from static bending tests at three-points, with three dial gauges, non-destructively, by imposing limits on two displacements (L 300 ), where L is the specimen length. Results of confidence intervals indicated statistical equivalence between MOE values obtained by means of both methods, thus corroborating the simple mathematical model proposed by ABNT NBR14810 (ABNT, 2006). Panels produced with up to 15% oat hulls (Treatments 1 to 6) showed the highest average MOE values. The methods employed to obtain MOE in static bending were statistically equivalent. However, in addition to being non-destructive, the alternative method proposed here in provided more reliable results, just by taking into account more measures along the specimens.
