Evaluation of testing procedures for stiffness properties of plywood

Creator:

Chen, Shaw-sun

Abstract:

Elastic properties of plywood panels are essential for predicting structural behavior of wood systems. The ASTM Standard D 3043-76 which evaluates the moduli of elasticity (MOE) of plywood, treats these panels as one dimensional beams instead of two-dimensional plates, which results in an overestimate of the MOE. Improved procedures for...
