IV) Conclusion
The values that we obtained, in the context of engineering would be used if there was a
construction project and we needed to know the characteristics of the wood that we were going to
use. Getting these values would give both the engineers and the construction companys predictions
as to how the material would be have and therefore they can better assist on the project at hand.
The compression tests conducted on both wooden specimens were by far the most essential
portion of this experiment. The results from these tests were meant to demonstrate the
relationship that exists between the stress and strain of an object. And also to show the significant
difference in efficiency between specimens which experience loads parallel and perpendicular to
the grain. This investigation also displays the ability there is of deriving the yield strength, ultimate
compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity from a materials plot of stress and strain.

When comparing the compressive strengths to the manner in which the grain of the wooden
specimens were placed for the compression tests, the most efficient manner was parallel.
