The Determination of Some Physical and Mechanical Characterictics of Olive Wood (Olea Europaea)
Abstract
In this study, some mechanical and physical properties of Olea europaea grown in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey were determined. Physical properties, such as air-dried density, oven-dried density, volumetric shrinkage, swelling and mechanical properties, such as compression strength, impact bending strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity were determined.
According to the test results, the air-dried density of 0.86 g/cm3, oven-dried density of 0.76 g/cm3, volumetric shrinkage of 9.7 %, volumetric swelling of 10.2 %, compression strength of 53.17 N/mm2, impact bending strength 0.30 kgm/cm2, modulus of rupture of 64.39 N/mm2 and modulus of elasticity of 4444 N/mm2 were found.
