Dielectric properties of defects on wood surfaces

Creator:

Forrer, Johannes B.

Abstract:

Raw material costs and limited material availability and quality have created significant interest in and opportunities for the application of nondestructive evaluation techniques to improve wood processing technologies. The incentives come from the desire to 1) manufacture the highest valued product, 2) conserve the amount of raw material used, 3)...

Effect of temperature on MOE and MOR of structural panels

Creator:

Zhou, Weidong

Abstract:

Oriented strand board is a panel product used in structural applications in home construction much like plywood, yet little is known of the effect of temperature and moisture content on its performance. The objective of this study is to study these effects on oriented strand board and for comparative purposes...

Pressure measurement in wood as a method to understand impregnation processes : conventional and supercritical carbon dioxide

Creator:

Schneider, Philip F.

Abstract:

Two approaches to improving wood treatability include the modification of pressure schedules during conventional liquid treatments and the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs). In both of these techniques, pressure differences are important for transporting materials into wood. The level of pressure and its change during SCF treatments are also important...
