Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:

Acuna, Mauricio A.

Abstract:

There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

likely to lead to measurement, segregation and supply of a wider range of wood properties for forest
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...

presented on June 2, 2008. Title: In-Forest Log Segregation Based on Acoustic Measurement of Wood
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...
