Abstract: In this study, the relationships of acoustic wave velocity measured on the standing trees (VÁRBOL) and logs (VTROZA) to different wood characteristics of Eucalyptus nitens trees of 18-year-old, grown at the Biobío region Chile, with sawing dimensions were inv

Resumen: En el presente estudio se investigaron las relaciones entre la velocidad de la onda acústica obtenida en árboles en pie (VÁRBOL), y la obtenida en trozas (VTROZA), con distintas características de la madera, en árboles de Eucalyptus nitens con dimensiones ase
