Abstract
The paper presents the experimental investigations regarding the viscoelastic behaviour of maple wood used in the construction of stringed musical instruments. The studied samples were classified according to the anatomical structure of the wood in the four classes of anatomical quality used by the manufacturers of musical instruments. Based on the mechanical analysis in dynamic regime, the viscoelastic parameters were determined - the preservation module E', the loss modulus E' and the damping tan δ, in conditions of constant temperature, respectively variable temperature. It was found that the determined rheological quantities depend on the anatomical structure of the wood, the frequency of the excitation and the temperature.
