A wood specimen was subjected to bending until failure by applying a loadin the middle of its span. The specimen has a cross section of 1 in. * 1 in.(actual dimensions) and a span of 14 in. between the simple supports. Theload and the deflection in the middle of the span were recorded as shown inTable P10.22.a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the load–deflectionrelationship.b. Plot the proportional limit on the graph.c. Calculate the modulus of rupture (flexure strength).
A wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 25 mm * 25 mm *150 mm and grain parallel to its length. Displacement was measured over a100 mm gauge length. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain to failure. The load–deformation results are as shown in Table P10.24.
