Mechanical Properties of Timber

1. Strength : The ability if a timber to withstand stress or external load.

   i.e
  -Bending parallel to the grain,
  -Compression parallel and
    perpendicular to the grain,
   -Tensile parallel to the grain
   -shear parallel to the grain.

2. Elasticity: modulus of elasticity by Inertial.

Elasticity = Elasticity x Inertial
