abstract Physical properties of walnut limbs were measured. The moisture content and density were found to be 51.32% (d.b.) and 953.14 kg m-3, respectively. The average values of modulus of rupture and the bending modulus were also obtained as 69.73 and 6325.44 MPa, respectively. The average value of toughness in impact test was 3.94 kg m.
