1348.0. "Balsa Properties" by POLAR::SIBILLE () Wed Aug 21 1991 12:21

    Could'nt find the info in the Balsa note. Those anybody knows the
    mechaniocal properties of balsa:
    
    Modulus of elasticity
    Tensile strenght
    compression strenght
    Shear strenght
    Hardness
    
    ETC..

1348.1Hope this helps !!WLDWST::LOSTIMOLOFri Aug 23 1991 10:5124
    Hi Jaques
    
     The Modulus of E is 0.5 x 10exp6 P.S.I.
     
     The rupture Modulus is 2.2 x 10exp3 P.S.I.
    
     And, the Maximum crush, compression, strength, paralell to the grain, is 
    1000 P.S.I.
    
     Evidently, the shear strength is below 1000 psi, the materials data
    begins with 1000 psi and there is no entry for the shear..
    
     The moisture content is 5% 
    
     The specific gravity is,(Kiln Dried), 0.14
    
    Hope this hepls, data taken from the "1991 MATERIALS SELECTOR",
    published yearly by Materials Engineering periodicals..
    
     Regards
