Thermal degradation of bending properties of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:

Sinha, Arijit, Gupta, Rakesh, and Nairn, John A.

Abstract:

Wood and wood-based composites are being used extensively in single-family residential dwellings. Therefore, it is important to categorize their response when exposed to elevated temperatures for a sustained period of time. In fire-resistant design for wood structures, the main goal is to ensure that enough structural integrity is maintained, during...

A numerical study of the transverse modulus of wood as a function of grain orientation and properties

Creator:

Nairn, John A.

Abstract:

Finite element analysis was used to study the effective transverse modulus of solid wood for all possible end-grain patterns. The calculations accounted for cylindrical anisotropy of wood within rectangular specimens and explicitly modeled wood as a composite of earlywood and latewood. The effective modulus was significantly reduced by growth ring...
