About this document
Balsa Wood Mechanical Properties Overview by Paul Rodgers is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides information about the properties of balsa wood. Balsa is the lightest commercial wood with a density ranging from 120-220 kg/m3. It has low strength but is very light and buoyant. Experiments were conducted to determine the tension, compression, and shear properties of balsa wood at different densities. The results were compared to other studies and numerical models. Balsa has high insulation properties and is often used in applications where low weight and buoyancy are important facto
