  2. Hankinson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hankinson's_equation

    Hankinson's equation (also called Hankinson's formula or Hankinson's criterion) [1] is a mathematical relationship for predicting the off-axis uniaxial compressive strength of wood. The formula can also be used to compute the fiber stress or the stress wave velocity at the elastic limit as a function of grain angle in wood.

  3. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    As per Indian codes, compressive strength of concrete is defined as: Field cured concrete in cubic steel molds (Greece) The compressive strength of concrete is given in terms of the characteristic compressive strength of 150 mm size cubes tested after 28 days (fck). In field, compressive strength tests are also conducted at interim duration i.e ...

  4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    A simple case of compression is the uniaxial compression induced by the action of opposite, pushing forces. Compressive strength for materials is generally higher than their tensile strength. However, structures loaded in compression are subject to additional failure modes, such as buckling, that are dependent on the member's geometry.

  5. Parapiptadenia rigida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapiptadenia_rigida

    It has a "Janka Hardness" of 2300-3700 lb., [13] a parallel "bending strength" of 16900 psi, a parallel "compression strength" of 8500 psi and a density of 720–1199 kg/m 3 [14] [15] at a moisture content of 12-15%. Its modulus of elasticity is 157 801 kg/cm 2. [16] For hardwood flooring it is called "pepperwood." [13]

  6. Molded plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molded_plywood

    With the types of wood that are used for molded wood, the compressive strength is between 50 and 62 N/cm². It guarantees long-lasting furniture that endures even frequent use as in schools, for instance.

  7. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2). ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi. [4] The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa ...

  8. Pressed wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressed_wood

    This process gives pressed wood its strength [2] advantage over other engineered wood types. [3] The boards are placed in a press where the press will press down on the boards with roughly 2.8 megapascals (400 psi) of pressure. [3]

  9. Wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood

    It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, [1] or more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere, such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In ...
