The Study on the Frequency Response Characteristics of Wood Orthotropy Based on Stress Wave Propagation Direction and Distance

This study investigates the frequency response of Zelkova schneideriana and Pinus sylvestris var. mongholica Litv. along longitudinal, radial, and tangential directions at different propagation distances. Sinusoidal signals from 20 to 200 kHz with 2 kHz intervals were applied using a piezoelectric device, and the responses were recorded by an acoustic emission sensor. Frequency response curves were obtained from the amplitude ratios of response to excitation signals. The results showed that attenuation in the radial direction was lower than that in the longitudinal and tangential directions between 20 and 100 kHz. Both species exhibited stable characteristic response bands around 35, 154, and 188 kHz, which showed good agreement with one-dimensional elastic wave theory, with a minimum relative error of 0.48%. Zelkova schneideriana also exhibited a characteristic frequency near 79 kHz and more stable high-frequency responses.
