  • In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

    Creator:
    Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
    Abstract:
    To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...

  • Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

    Creator:
    Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
    Abstract:
    Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

  • Evaluation of a prototype NIR system for Douglas-fir wood density estimation

    Creator:
    Belart Lengerich, Maria Francisca
    Abstract:
    Forest products companies in the U.S. face vigorous competition from other wood producers around the world and other industries (steel, aluminum, plastics, composites). To be competitive, forest companies need to control costs, sort and allocate logs to the most appropriate markets, and recover more value at time of harvest. Interest...
