Abstract

With respect to their relevance for wood-related technologies, moisturedependent elastic engineering parameters of Taurus fir (Abies Cilicica (Antoine et Kotschy) Carriere) are determined from ultrasound longitudinal (2.3 MHz) and shear (1 MHz) wave velocities. The dynamic Young’s and shear modules of characteristic axes and planes decrease significantly down to 17 % at increased moisture content due to decreased wave velocities. Moisture-dependent R1 values of the modules range from 0.88 to 0.99. However, Poisson’s ratios exhibit inconsistent moisture dependent behavior. Remarkable differences between ultrasound findings and the published results from compression tests are observed. Generally, the elastic values of wood from ultrasonic testing are reported higher than from mechanical tests. In contrast we find lower values as well. The critical issue of different ultrasound velocity sensitivity at selected directions is highlighted.
