Determination of elasticity modulus of aleppo pine wood (pinus halepensis mill) with the ultrasound method

Abstract

With a view to determining the mechanical properties - specifically the modulus of elasticity - of fibrous composites, the nondestructive methods present certain advantages. The ultrasound technique, based on measuring the propagation velocity of an impulse and considering the elasticity coefficients of the material, enabled us to deal with the study of a well-known local species, namely Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.), with consideration of its physical parameters such as moisture and density. The mean goal of this step is to find correlations between the acoustic behavior of the material and its physical and mechanical characteristics
