Non-destructive evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of chestnut wood in tension and compression parallel to grain

The paper addresses the evaluation of strength and stiffness of chestnut wood, in tension and compression parallel to the grain, using different non-destructive techniques (ultrasounds, Resistograph and Pilodyn). Around two hundred timber specimens (divided into compression and tension tests) were t...
