European oak logs (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) from the 15th auction of valuable logs in Slovenj Gradec in 2021 were included in the study. Of the 1,318 auctioned logs, 78 were randomly selected and visually graded into quality classes (A, B, C) according to the National Grading Rules (2017). In parallel, we analysed the wood growth dendrochronologically and the acoustic properties of the logs using the longitudinal vibration resonance method. The logs with the best quality had a larger diameter and, on average, wider annual rings. We confirmed the correlation between the visually determined quality and the obtained price of the logs. Longitudinal vibration velocity (v) and relative acoustic conversion efficiency (RACE) were positively correlated with log quality and price. The frequency spectra of the low-quality logs differed from the theoretical spectra. This study confirms the feasibility of non-destructive acoustic methods for evaluating oak log quality.

Abstract

V raziskavo smo vključili hrastovo hlodovino (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) s 15. dražbe vrednejših sortimentov okroglega lesa v Slovenj Gradcu v letu 2021. Naključno smo izbrali 78 od 1318 licitiranih hlodov in jih skladno z veljavnim Pravilnikom o merjenju (2017) vizualno razvrstili po kakovosti (A, B, C). Vzporedno smo dendrokronološko analizirali priraščanje lesa ter z metodo frekvenčnega odziva pri vzdolžnem vzbujanju še akustične lastnosti hlodovine. Najkvalitetnejša hlodovina je bila večjih premerov, z več in povprečno širšimi branikami. Potrdili smo povezavo med vizualno določeno kakovostjo in doseženo ceno hlodovine. Hitrost vzdolžnega nihanja (v) in relativna učinkovitost akustične pretvorbe (RACE) sta bili s kakovostjo in ceno hlodovine pozitivno povezani. Frekvenčni spektri pri hlodovini nižje kakovosti odstopajo od teoretičnih. Raziskava je potrdila možnost uporabe nedestruktivnih akustičnih metod za oceno kakovosti hrastove hlodovine.
