Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a non-destructive testing method for the strength of standing trees. Background technique
[0002] The detection of the strength of standing trees is mainly to generate mechanical waves in the xylem region of living trees by means of tapping, current pulse, etc., and according to the relationship between the elastic modulus E of the material, the propagation speed of mechanical waves V and the material density ρ E=V 2 ρ to calculate the elastic modulus E d , where the E d is the elastic modulus of the standing tree, and finally realizes the detection of the strength of the standing tree.
[0003] At present, in the detection process of standing trees, the method of density measurement is: felling the standing trees, and then using tools such as knives and saws to intercept log segments, discs or blocks for traditional measurement, that is, according to the formula: density is equal to mass and volume ratio. The disadvantage...
