Hygro-mechanical response of clear softwood specimens to compression under cyclic climate

Creator:: Guo, Ning
Abstract:: Hygro-mechanical effect is a general term applied to all phenomena that involves interaction between moisture content and mechanical characteristics of hygroscopic materials by analogy to thermo-mechanical effects. The hygromechanical effects include (but are not limited to) free shrinkage/swelling, effect of moisture on elastic modulus, strength, creep, failure mechanisms, and mechano...

Elucidating the Mechanism of CNF Reinforcement in Wood Adhesives and Composites

Creator:: Munoz Torres, Maria A.
Abstract:: In the search to improve and incorporate nano and renewable materials into urea-formaldehyde (UF), several researchers have incorporated cellulose nano fibrillated (CNF) into the adhesive. This study aimed to find an optimal way of incorporating CNF into UF and understand how CNF interacts with and changes the properties of the...

Designing a strand orientation pattern for improved shear properties of oriented strand board

Creator:: Alldritt, Kenton
Abstract:: As oriented strand board (OSB) increases in use as an engineered wood product, improving the in-plane shear properties will allow more efficient use of the material as well as open up other opportunities for OSB to be used in engineered wood products with high shear stresses. Based on classical laminated...

Morphological characterization of wood plastic composite (WPC) with advanced imaging tools : developing methodologies for reliable phase and internal damage characterization

Creator:: Wang, Yi
Abstract:: Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers, wood flour, and a small amount of process- and property-enhancing additives; they are principally used in the automotive industry and as secondary building materials. Although the WPC market is expected to keep growing, it is still relatively small when...

Further Development of MPM and its Applications in Modeling Wood-Adhesive Bonds

Creator:: Hammerquist, Chad C.
Abstract:: This work is a culmination of a series of published works related to the use of the Material Point Method (MPM) in modeling wood adhesive bonds. The use of wood as construction material has the potential to play a small role in the solution to the current CO2 and climate...

Commercialization potential of viscoelastic thermal compressed (VTC) wood

Creator:: Macias, Natalie R.
Abstract:: The increasing demand for forest products and restricted use of natural forests has resulted in a shortage of high-strength wood fiber. The area covered by plantation forests is steadily rising, but the fiber produced by these forests is often unsuitable for high-strength applications. One attempt to combat this problem is...

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

Evaluation of system effects and structural load paths in a wood-framed structure

Creator:: Martin, Kenneth G.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to develop an analytical model of a light-framed wood structure using a prevalent structural analysis computer program in order to evaluate system effects and define load paths within the structure, especially under extreme wind events. Simplified modeling techniques and material definitions were developed and...

Measuring innovativeness in the North American softwood sawmilling industry

Creator:: Knowles, Christopher David
Abstract:: Innovativeness, or the propensity of a firm to create and/or adopt new products, process and business systems, has been measured using several methods in previous research. Examples of theses methods include current technology, self-evaluation, research and development funding, the number of new products, and intellectual property. In addition to the...
