Instructions for Experimental Exercise:

 

Specimen:

Fresh Spruce heartwood specimen 34mm * 34mm * 9mm, soaked in water overnight before experiments, tested in uniaxial strain in the tangential material direction.

 

Thermal expansion:

Maintain the specimen under a load of 50 N while treating with saturated steam at XXX°C for a period of 30 minutes. Report the uniaxial thermal expansion.

 

Dynamic Small-Strain Stiffness:

Define the thickness after thermal expansion as the thickness with zero strain. Determine dynamic small-strain stiffness at strain control, at mean compressive strain of 1.5 %, with strain amplitude 0.5%, at two loading frequencies:

- 1 Hz

- 10 Hz.

Detailed instructions:

Determine minimum strain and maximum strain as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine minimum stress and maximum stress as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine dynamic stiffness as a the ratio of stress amplitude to strain amplitude. Plot dynamic stiffness as a function of the number of loading cycles.

 

Stress-Strain Curve:

Determine stress-strain curve by compressing to 80% logarithmic compressive strain at rate YY%/s. Recover the applied strain to 10% compressive strain at rate YY%/s. Recover the rest of the applied strain under load control to 50 N. Plot stress as a function of strain.

 

Irrecoverable Strain after Transient Experiment:

Determine irrecoverable strain by finding the strain which no longer changes under a load of 50 N.

 

Tangential Stiffness:

Filter the stress and strain data by taking moving averages over 0.25% strain intervals.  Determine tangential stiffness as the change of stress over the change of strain over 0.5% strain intervals, using the filtered data. Plot the tangential stiffness data as a function of the strain level.

 

Dynamic Large-Strain experiment:

Apply a cyclical stress of target set point 1.5 MPa and amplitude 0.5 MPa at  YY Hz frequency, the experiment consisting of 100 cycles.

 


Irrecoverable Strain after Dynamic Experiment:

Determine irrecoverable strain by finding the strain which no longer changes under a load of 50 N.

 

Dynamic Large-Strain Stiffness:

Determine minimum strain and maximum strain as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine minimum stress and maximum stress as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine dynamic stiffness as a the ratio of stress amplitude to strain amplitude. Plot dynamic stiffness as a function of the number of loading cycles.

 

Energy Dissipation:

Determine work as the integral of force over displacement. (It is important to average the force properly over any incremental displacement.) Determine accumulated applied work as the sum of positive work inputs. Determine accumulated dissipated work as the sum of all mechanical work inputs. Determine mean applied work per loading cycle over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine mean dissipated energy per loading cycle over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine the dissipated energy in relation to the applied work. Filter the result over the number of observations collected within a loading cycle. Plot the dissipated energy proportion as a function of the number of loading cycles.

 

Dynamic Small-Strain Stiffness after Dynamic Loading:

Redefine the thickness after strain recovery as thickness with zero strain. Determine dynamic small-strain stiffness at strain control, at mean compressive strain of 1.5 %, with strain amplitude 0.5%, at two loading frequencies:

- 1 Hz

- 10 Hz.

Detailed instructions:

Determine minimum strain and maximum strain as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine minimum stress and maximum stress as arrays moving over three consecutive loading cycles. Determine dynamic stiffness as a the ratio of stress amplitude to strain amplitude. Plot dynamic stiffness as a function of the number of loading cycles.
