ВЛИЯНИЕ ПОВЫШЕННОЙ ТЕМПЕРАТУРЫ НА ДИНАМИЧЕСКИЕ СВОЙСТВА ОСИНЫ

Abstract

As a damping material in the structures of containers for the transportation of hazardous materials, along with plastic metals, fiber-claydite concrete and synthetic foams, it is proposed to use wood of different species. Since containers are transported in different climate regimes, there is an urgent need to study the properties of wood at elevated temperatures. The paper presents the results of dynamic tests of aspen under uniaxial compression under conditions of temperature increased to +60°C. The tests were carried out according to the Kolsky method on a Hopkinson split-bar setup. To study the anisotropy of properties, aspen samples were made and tested by cutting samples along and across the direction of the grains. As a result of processing the experimental data, dynamic stress-strain curves were obtained. According to the experimental data, there are determined the stresses at which the integrity of the samples were violated. The mean values of the moduli of deformation in the active loading regions of stress-strain curves are also presented. The highest slope of the load sections and the highest breaking stresses were observed for the specimens when loaded along the grains, and the smallest values of these parameters were noted when loaded across the grains. For specimens loaded along grains at strain rates above 1500 s–1, after reaching the limiting stress values, a decrease (relaxation) of stresses is observed with increasing deformations. For specimens loaded across the grains, an almost horizontal section the diagrams of deforming or even with some strengthening is more typical. The effect of elevated temperature on the strength and deformation properties of aspen is estimated. There is a tendency towards some decrease in the diagrams at a temperature of +60 °C in comparison with the diagrams at room temperature. In this case, both the moduli in the loading and unloading sections and the limiting (breaking) stresses decrease. The obtained features of the behavior of aspen specimens at elevated temperatures should be taken into account when modeling deforming wood.
