W0= 40.3 T0 =41.5 L0 = 79.8 Discussion:

Wf =40.4 Tf =41.6 Lf = 79.62 after doing the compression test we noticed that the fracture
happened suddenly without any warning from the specimen,
E avg= 11.4 Gpa and from the table, we find the average E is 11.4 Gpa and
according to the shape of the diagram we make sure that the
E slop = 11.5 Gpa specimen is a brittle material and it's clear the brittle materials
make small deformation before cracking and that what
E wood = 11.6 Gpa
happens and its near to be kind of hard wood because modulus
of elasticity for hard wood is around 11.6 Gpa .
