The specific energy absorption of local wood subjected to quasi-static loading
Abstract—An experimental investigation was performed to obtain specific energy absorbed of Malaysia local wood. Eleven species of wood were chosen which are, Nyatoh, Merbau, Meranti Putih, Kelapa Sawit, Kempas, Jati, Chengal,Meranti Merah, Balau Cina, Balau Merah, and Kapur . The wood in compres...

| Summary: | Abstract—An experimental investigation was performed to obtain
specific energy absorbed of Malaysia local wood. Eleven species of
wood were chosen which are, Nyatoh, Merbau, Meranti Putih, Kelapa
Sawit, Kempas, Jati, Chengal,Meranti Merah, Balau Cina, Balau
Merah, and Kapur . The wood in compressed quasi-statically
usingUniversal Testing Machine to obtain the material mechanical
properties. Specimens were loaded in axial, circumferential and
radial directions. Kink-band phenomena was observed and studied.
The deformation mode and the load-displacement curve for axial,
circumferential and radial compression of local woods, the highest
value of energy absorption and kink-band phenomena as well as its
effect on energy absorption were determined and discussed in this
paper. |
