Modulus of Rupture and Elasticity
The Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) are standardized measures of wood mechanical properties determined through static bending tests. MOR quantifies the maximum bending stress wood can withstand before failure; MOE measures stiffness (resistance to bending). These are fundamental properties used for wood grading, structural design, and assessment of wood quality and species suitability for applications requiring strength or stiffness.
