Moisture content and temperature effect on ultrasound timber grading
1993
Sandoz, J.L.
Because wood is a natural material, the viability of its properties is very large. In order to use wood efficiently in building, it has to be stress graded. The ultrasonic stress grading was developed as an improved alternative to visual grading. This non destructive evaluative technique allows reliable higher strength values while working with new products. Corrected models were studied to reference the ultrasonic propagation speed at constant moisture content and temperature. Using a referential ultrasonic wave velocity, stress grading can be carried out on trees or logs before cutting, or on fresh beams. The correlation between conditioned beams and test specimens is very high, especially for the strongest material.
