Job # 4<\/strong><\/p>\n To carry out compression test on wooden cubes when load is applied <\/strong><\/p>\n Objective:<\/strong><\/p>\n Apparatus:<\/strong><\/p>\n Related theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n The maximum stress that a material can bear is called its compressive strength.<\/p>\n The maximum value of stress that a material can bear.<\/p>\n It is the ratio of stress to strain and is determined by the slope of stress strain diagram from 0 to proportional limit. (i.e within elastic limit)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ability of a body to retain its shape is called its elasticity.<\/p>\n It is the force required to produce unit deformation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The materials which exhibit same properties in different directions are called isotropic. e.g. steel<\/p>\n The materials which exhibit different properties in different directions are called an-isotropic. e.g. wood<\/p>\n Failure to wooden cubes when load is applied:<\/strong><\/p>\n The wooden sample will take more load to fail on applying load. This is because each fiber act as a column to parallel load.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02. Perpendicular to grains:<\/strong><\/p>\n When load is applied wooden sample will take comparatively less load because each fiber acts as beam and the failure of a single fiber will cause the failure of whole sample.<\/p>\n Procedure<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Observations and calculations<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parallel to grains:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
