  • Numerical modeling and experiments on wood-strand composites

    Creator:
    Le, Edward A.
    Abstract:
    In wood-based composites, the glue-line (interface) between wood-strands affects the stress transfer from one member to the next. The glue-line properties determine the rate of load transfer between phases and these properties depend on wood species, surface preparation, glue properties, glue penetration into wood cells, and moisture content of the...

  • Sustainable bio-composites for west coast highways

    Creator:
    Karas, Michael
    Abstract:
    Wildfire prevention operations like forest thinning and forest fuel removal result in large volumes of woody biomass available for utilization. In 2007 alone, the US federal government spent nearly $2 billion to fight forest fires on federal lands. Annually, the USDA Forest Service spends $1 billion to thin young trees...
