Carbon fiber as a resistive heat generator to accelerate adhesive cure in reinforced wood laminates

Liem, Jeffry (2000-02-29)

As a result of its atomic structure, carbon fiber produced from mesophase pitch has a high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength. Others have used carbon fiber as a resistive heating unit to accelerate matr ...
Experimental and finite-element analysis of stress distributions near the end of reinforcement in partially reinforced glulam

Kirlin, Chad P. (1996-04-30)

Recently, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP lamina) have been applied to glued-laminated (glulam) timber for the purpose of improving bending strength and stiffness. Initially, full length reinforcement using FRP lamina ...
An investigation into the dynamics of RF LVL pressing

Rowell, Daniel Lee (2005-05-10)

The dynamics of radio frequency (RF) laminated veneer lumber (LVL) pressing are explored for the purpose of optimizing this process. The RF LVL press at the Albany Trus Joist plant is the focus of this investigation. The ...
