Opis (eng)

In this paper, transversal stress wave velocity was measured in 30 trees of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika /Pančić/ Purk.) using a 2D sonic tomograph. Tomograms were analyzed and speed loss and average speed for Serbian spruce were calculated. Since there is no reference value for this species, in this research the reference value for stress wave velocity of Norway spruce (Picea abies /L./ H. Karst.) was used for comparison. The relative difference between referent and measured stress wave velocity indicates the amount of decay between the two sensors. The largest number of cross-sections had a speed loss of up to 10%, but there were also cross-sections with a speed loss of more than 50% in the transversal direction. This result shows that there are defects and damages in this direction that will reduce the strength of the wood. Summarizing data for trees with speed loss of less than 10%, the average stress wave velocity at the cross-sections is 1635 (1205-2170) m/s. Compared to Norway spruce, this velocity is higher, but not significantly.
