Wood: modulus, contd.<br />
• The second equation is more subtle <strong>and</strong> states that<br />
the elastic modulus transverse to the grain varies<br />
more rapidly - with the square of the density - than<br />
the axial modulus. The reason for this can be<br />
understood very simply in terms of the cellular<br />
structure. When wood is loaded across the grain, the<br />
cell walls bend like miniature beams. This response<br />
can be quantified by use of beam theory to arrive at<br />
the functional dependence of equation 2.
