Goals The goal of this course is defined characteristic properties of wood material, wood-water relationship, density and volume-weight relationship, mechanical properties, To investigate the situation of wood material under the influence of different forces, definitions related to mechanical properties, relevant standards, calculation of mechanical properties of wood. To beams usage of wood materials, safety stres calculations and to be relationship technological structure of wood material. The informations needed for rational usage.
Course Content Characteristic Properties of Wood Material, Wood-Water Relationship, Moisture of Wood, The Density of Wood Material, Volume-Weight Value of Wood, The Factors Effected of Density, Mechanical Properties of Wood Material and Basic Concepts, Load Types to Wood Material, Static and Dynamic Load, Elasticity Modulus, Stress –Strain Concept, Bending Strength, The Factors Effected to Bending Strength, Compression Strength, Quality Factors to Compression Strength, Tension Strength, Shear Stress, Cleavage Strenght, İmpact Bending Strenght, Technological Experiments, Hardness and Corrosion Strenght, The Safety Stres to Wood Material, Beams, Resistance Calculations to Wood Materials
