Pinus forests are the second most planted in Brazil and wood obtained from them is mainly used as structural elements civil construction sector. The Brazilian standard that deals with calculations of wooden structures projects recommends use range 10% to 20% moisture content. Thus, this study aimed present an investigation about influence content on static modulus elasticity (MOEst) beams by tr...

This paper presents the results of a recent study about the following aspects relevant to tunneling in soft grounds:e) The domain of deformations due to tunneling in soft ground can be specified within a boundary of a parabolic shape. This boundary is defined by a parabolic formula as a function of a central angle which depends on the soil type i.e., either cohesive or cohesionless. This para...

The elastic modulus of cancellous bone is derived based on the measured elastic properties of separate mineral and protein phases. Adopting the mechanics of cellular solids approach, the moduli of elasticity of cancellous, deproteinated and demineralized bone are expressed in terms of the trabecular moduli of elasticity and the corresponding density ratios using the power law expressions. The Y...

Static and dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOE) of spruce lumber were determined under different conditions like cross head speed, bending and longitudinal vibration, and mode numbers. The characteristic time of MOE determination is introduced. Characteristic time is defined as the typical MOE determination time. Shorter characteristic times are shown to result in higher MOE values. An order of ...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important impact on agricultural products' damage process, particularly in the case of fruits and vegetables. modulus of elasticity is one of the most conspicuous mechanical properties of fruits, the variation in which can be described as one of the most affecting damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted...
