Study of the physico-mechanical properties of thermally modified eucalyptus camaldulensis wood: the case of the moroccan forest - Vol.25, Feb - Prayagraj Pushpa Publishing House 2022 - 109-125p.
The aim of the present article is the study of the physico-mechanical and thermal characterization of Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood from the Moroccan forest. The choice to conduct this investigation is primarily based on the huge success of this kind of species established in the National Reforestation Program. More specifically, the study highlights the determination of the rupture stress in axial compression and the longitudinal modulus of elasticity by the BING method. However, the hardness test is performed by adopting the Monnin method which examines volumetric and linear shrinkage, shrinkage coefficients and anisotropy. The physico-mechanical tests were carried out at wood moisture levels varying from 14% to 16%. The results obtained made it possible to classify the Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood as heavy, nervous, hard and with high anisotropy. Also, in this study, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity of Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood at different temperatures: 25°C, 35°C, 50°C, 60°C and 70°C were determined. The results shown that Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood has more thermal conductivity in the longitudinal direction than in the radial and tangential ones.
