Abstract
The present work studied the mechanical properties of balsa wood and its structural characteristics. To this end, tensile tests were carried out on balsa wood, a composite material, in order to obtain its properties, and corroborate some of the literature, which is in contradiction, with the newer ones pointing to a rupture stress of 3 MPa in the wood, while the older ones point out tensions above 10 MPa, with the difference between both being the test standards used, thus indicating that the standards directly affect the data obtained. A study of the structure of balsa wood was also carried out, in which it was possible to understand why the test data presented such high deviations, since balsa wood is of living origin, there are numerous factors that influence the growth and development of fibers. of wood during planting, with such differences being appreciable within the same batch, which is why many specimens are needed for testing, with the greatest difficulty being the high cost of this material, even if within the alternatives this is the most accessible for your role.
