  • Computed tomography analysis of wood-adhesive bonds

    Creator:
    Modzel, Günter Georg Rolf
    Abstract:
    The importance of wood bonding increased in the last decades due to the increased usage of wood composites whose performance depends to a large extent on the adhesive penetration and subsequent bonding of the adherends. The presented research used XMT (x-ray microtomography) to perform a non-destructive, threedimensional analysis of the...

  • Modeling changes in flexural properties of softwood beams during fungal decomposition

    Creator:
    Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
    Abstract:
    Moisture intrusion in residential structures can lead to substantial fungal decay and this damage costs billions in repair/replacement costs. The extent of damage and the rate at which it occurs are primarily dependent on the wood moisture content and temperature in the structure. Determining the risk of decay for various...

  • Effects of biocide treatment on durability and fungal colonization of teak, western redcedar, and redwood

    Creator:
    Cabrera Orozco, Yohanna
    Abstract:
    Treating durable, second-growth or plantation-grown material with supplemental chemicals could improve durability while enhancing the uniformity of the products. To test this hypothesis, the effect of two candidate biocide treatments on the durability of teak, redwood, and western redcedar was assessed in a ground proximity field test established in Hawaii....

  • 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...
