Apitong 1

[removed]

Hi! Does anybody here knows how the stress-strain curve for the wood apitong should look like? Badly needed for my research. Hope you can reply. Thank you!

What is apitong??

Since the poster is in the Phillipines, I suspect he means Dipterocarpus grandiflorus, and not the Brazilian Hymenolobium petraeum.

MikeTheEngineer - I had to go to proper species name, as the two woods have widely different properties, and both are commonly called "Apitong" - it's not quite as bad as someone asking for a stress strain curve for "steel" - but it's along those lines.
