The Mechanical Properties of Wood Including a Discussion of the Factors Affecting the Mechanical Properties and Methods of Timber Testing (Fully Il

The Mechanical Properties of Wood (fully illustrated) was written primarily for students of forestry to whom a knowledge of the technical properties of wood is essential. The mechanics involved is reduced to the simplest terms and without reference to higher mathematics with which the students rarely are familiar. The intention throughout has been to avoid all unnecessarily technical language and descriptions thereby making the subject-matter readily available to every one interested in wood.
