Dynamic Test and Analysis of Strength of Bamboo Curtain Plywood Based on Free Vibration Modal Method

Bamboo curtain plywood is made of equal-thickness slotted bamboo slivers as its constituent units and is formed into boards with high pressure. In this paper, rectangular plates, beam specimens, and two sizes of square plates were tested to determine the elastic modulus and shear modulus of bamboo curtain plywood quickly, easily, and accurately. The free square board torsional vibration method was used to test the shear modulus of the square plates. The dynamic test results were also verified by means of the static four-point bending method. The main conclusions show that the dynamic elastic modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of this bamboo curtain plywood are 0.7 GPa, 1300 MPa and 0.12, respectively. The values of the elastic constants of these bamboo curtain plywood specimens measured by dynamic and static methods are consistent, and this dynamic test method has the advantages of fast, easy, good repeatability and high accuracy.
