Woodworking YouTuber Rex Krueger takes us on the incredible journey of how rubber wood went from an Amazon jungle exotic to a ...

In this video, we explore a large piece of petrified wood using a waterjet to determine if its appearance is consistent or merely a painted rock. The cutting process reveals the challenges of handling ...

Abstract: Particle swarm optimization algorithm based neural network construction has been presented to calibrate the complex nonlinear relationship between modulus of elasticity (MOE) and wood ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

It looks like wood, and it’s even made from wood. But what’s special about the so-called elastic wood made in Liangbing Hu’s lab at the University of Maryland, College Park, is that it can be squished ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

Modulus of elasticity of concrete is the ratio of normal stress to the corresponding strain for tensile or compressive stresses below the proportional limit of concrete, ACI 318-14. The value of ...

Modulus of elasticity, also known as the elastic modulus or Young’s modulus, is a fundamental material property that characterizes the relationship between stress and strain in a solid material. This ...

Engineered wood products (EWPs) are used in a wide range of construction applications. For low in-place cost, versatility and superior performance, engineered wood systems are simply hard to beat.

Juvenile wood (JW) can influence the performance of structural boards since it presents lower physical and mechanical properties. This study aimed evaluate the influence of JW proportion on density ...
