Research progress on dynamic testing methods of wood shear modulus: A review

Abstract

Wood is a non-homogeneous and orthotropic natural polymer material. It is important to test the wood shear modulus and elastic constants accurately and reliably using dynamic methods. Based on the introduction of the advantages of six common methods for dynamic testing of wood shear modulus, such as free plate torsional mode method, free bar torsional vibration method, and Timoshenko beam iterative method, issues associated with the applicability and accuracy of these methods are also pointed out. Recent methods, such as the free square plate torsional mode method and the square plate static torsional strain method, that were developed to dynamically test the shear modulus of wood and wood composite materials, are presented as effective ways to tackle these issues. These new approaches are expected to provide beneficial technical support for using small specimens, overcoming the size effect of specimens, simplifying the testing procedures, improving the test accuracy, and expanding the application range in the dynamic testing of wood shear modulus. These approaches have practical significance in promoting the industrialization and development of structural engineering, furniture and interior decoration, transportation, military, and musical instrument industries.

Estimativa do módulo de elasticidade transversal (G) da madeira: um estudo bibliográfico

“…Mishra et al (2022) O módulo de elasticidade (E), o módulo de cisalhamento (G) e o coeficiente de Poisson (𝜈) que caracterizam as constantes elásticas são os parâmetros físicos fundamentais dos materiais. No caso da madeira, são necessárias nove constantes elásticas independentes, representando E, G e 𝜈 em cada uma das três direções principais (Wang et al, 2022).…”

Módulo de rigidez de especies de madera de importancia comercial para México: Pinus pseudostrobus, Tabebuia rosea y Quercus scytophylla

“…El módulo de rigidez de la madera varía igualmente por la heterogeneidad estructural propia de cada especie, el tamaño de las probetas ensayadas y según sus direcciones de anisotropía (Wang et al, 2023). De tal forma, que los métodos dinámicos no destructivos se prospectan como técnicas apropiadas para determinar estas constantes materiales en probetas de pequeñas dimensiones.…”
