| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nondestructive test method for evaluating tree stem Young's modulus was developed. The stem Young's modulus is calculated considering the elastic relations between applied bending moment and stem deflections, which can be observed on a tablet PC. The stem Young's modulus and stress wave propagation speed measured for karamatsu, todomatsu, and guimatsu hybrid trees planted in Hokkaido and were compared with dymamic Young's modulus tested for the logs harvested after the tree tests, as well as the mechanical properties tested for small clear specimens prepared from the logs. As a result, the Young's modulus of trees can be estimated from the proposed tree bending tests with high accuracy.
