Abstract

Young's modulus and shear modulus were simultaneously obtained in a three-point bending test based on Timoshenko's bending theory. Deflection curves of a bent beam were measured by image analysis, and the mechanical properties of the wood were calculated by polynomial regression analysis after excluding the singular region. When beam specimens of spruce (Picea sp.) and mizunara (Quercus crispula) wood were tested, static Young's modulus (Es) and static shear modulus (Gs) values could be obtained from the deflection curve using finite element analysis. By comparing the dynamic properties (Ed and Gd) obtained by a flexural vibration test, it was estimated that Es was greater than Ed, while Gs was less than Gd. However, we suppose that the Gs values calculated from the deflection curve are more plausible than those obtained from a conventional bending test.
