Examination of Nigerian Economy Veneered Engineered Wood Bending Modulus for Sustainable Development

Due to loss of resources as a result of failure associated with using indecorous veneered engineered wood (Plywood) product in Nigerian economy and rarity of technical information to avert such loses with respect to their bending modulus, technical insights relevant to prevent such loss due to choice of improper quality for abundant needs was investigated. Prepared and subjected to four tests per sample as required by a universal testing machine (UTM), the testometric testing machine were the three most sought after veneered engineered wood (Plywood) following their identification. Aggregate average statistics for each sample were determined. Caledonian, Plywood EQ and Viewpoint had their bending modulus as 5118.664(N/mm²), 2198.810(N/mm²) and 226.941(N/mm²) respectively. Statistics show that in veneered engineered wood (Plywood), the bending modulus for Caledonian is 132.79% and to the extent of 2155.50% more superior than that of Plywood EQ and Viewpoint respectively. Bending modulus for Plywood EQ is 868.89% more suitable than that of Viewpoint. From the generated data, chats on the dynamics of the bending modulus of the samples were ensued by computer program. These showcase potentials of the material’s resistance to bending which actually is a measure of how stiff a material is when subjected to bending forces. This sustainable avant-garde technical understanding of bending modulus of veneered engineered wood (Plywood) product in Nigerian economy should be valued by architects, building contractors, engineers, individuals, construction companies as well as furniture makers. Engineers in the Biomedical areas as well as equipment developers and Engineers in general can as well utilize this knowledge. Bending modulus of other materials used together with engineered wood products should form future research works.
