Prediction of the buckling stress of intermediate wooden columns using the secant modulus

We made several buckling tests of wooden columns with intermediate slenderness ratios () and examined the empirical formulas. On the basis of the examination, we formulated an equation for predicting the buckling stress () of an intermediate wooden column. Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis Carr.) and buna (Japanese beech, Fagus crenata BI.) were used for the studies. A compressive load was applied on the specimen supported with pin ends, and the buckling stress was predicted by the tangent modulus theory and two empirical equations: those of Tetmajer and Newlin-Gahagan. The predicted - relations were compared with the test results, and the applicability of these predictions were examined. Based on the comparisons, we formulated an equation that can predict the - relations of materials with various stress-strain characters in the plastic strain range.     

Piezoelectric behavior of wood under combined compression and vibration stresses I: Relation between piezoelectric voltage and microscopic deformation of a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis Carr.)

This study investigated the relation between piezoelectric behavior and the deformation of trachieds in real time under combined compression and vibration stresses. Scanning electron microscope images were recorded directly into a video recorder. Two types of microscopic destruction were observed in the specimens. With the first type, although a small uprush around the boundary of the annual ring was observed, the specimens were broken only by shearing fracture in the 45° direction. With the second type, the specimens were finally broken by shearing fracture after repeated buckling. In these cases the piezoelectric voltage increased almost linearly in the elastic region, proceeded to the maximal point, and then decreased gradually. Finally a clear peak appeared in the buckling and shearing fracture. There is a curved relation between the specific gravity and the piezoelectric parameter when the influence of voids is considered, and there is a linear relation between the dynamic Young's modulus and the piezoelectric parameter when the stress is considered.Part of this paper was presented at the 46th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society in Kumamoto, April 1996

Mechanism for deformation of wood as a honeycomb structure II: First buckling mechanism of cell walls under radial compression using the generalized cell model

Coniferous woods were modeled as honeycomb cellular solids consisting of hexagonal-prism tracheids to examine the mechanism for radial compression. Because of the abrupt breaks of radial cell walls, it was assumed that the flrst break followed Euler's equation of buckling. The nominal stress at the buckling of the radial cell wall was theoretically obtained based on this assumption, and the actual nominal stress was obtained experimentally. The theoretical stress was found to correspond almost to the experimental value. This finding suggests that the abrupt first break that occurs in wood under radial compression can be mainly attributed to the buckling of radial cell walls.Part of this work was presented at the 47th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Kochi, April 1997 and at the 1997 meeting of the Research Society of Rheology in the Japan Wood Research Society, Tsukuba, December 1997
