This will probably be my shortest post. … In the determination of wood beam stability (lateral torsional buckling) with respect to bending about the X-X axis, use Ey min (not Ex min). The context here is structural glued laminated timber …
I continue to be mesmerized by this thing called `E min’. E min is the `minimum modulus of elasticity’ used in stability calculations in wood engineering design. E min (hereafter just Emin) is based on `regular’ modulus of elasticity, E. …
E min (c) Jeff R. Filler, Pell City, Alabama, 2022 But First, E apparent and E true `E min’ is calculated wood property used in the design of structural wood members (beams, columns, etc.). It is a derived property, derived …
