Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

Creator:

Mirzaei, Babak

Abstract:

The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

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...
