Creator:: Nair, Hari U.
Abstract:: Literature reports have indicated that application of sonic pressure waves enhances the rate of impregnation of preservatives in wood. However, these studies have been limited and inconclusive. The technique or process is not in commercial use. In this study a laboratory scale treating cylinder connected to a mechanical sonic wave...

Full Text:: deep appreciation to the ever resourceful Mr. Milo Clauson without whose help the hardware setup

Creator:: Gabel, Preston S.
Abstract:: Increased competition in the market place for both occasional and professional chain saw users has led to a desire for improved performance in chain saw guide bars. One aspect of improved performance is lower bar weight. The primary focus of this research was to establish the feasibility of a lower...

Creator:: Thiam, Massamba
Abstract:: The advantages of high-temperature drying are faster drying, reduced inventory, reduced energy requirements, and reduced equilibrium moisture content. However the disadvantages are higher initial costs of the kiln, greater power needs, knot dropout, and reduction in some strength properties. The latter was the subject of this study. Three hundred pieces...

Creator:: Zauscher, Stefan
Abstract:: Controlling the orientation and spatial distribution of discontinuous fibers in composite materials enables product properties to be tailored to anticipated use. Electric fields are already (albeit rarely) used to affect alignment in lignocellulosic (LC) fiber composites. The use of magnetic fields has not, however, been suggested or explored; this is...

Creator:: Gao, Hong
Abstract:: Wood and wood-based composites are being used in either new or more demanding applications. A means is needed to successfully analyze new materials and to predict their long-term performance. Two techniques, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and time-temperature superposition (TTS) offer a means to accomplish this objective. The outcome of this...

Creator:: Heck, Leanne Renee
Abstract:: The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

Creator:: Anderson, Matthew E.
Abstract:: It is difficult to treat the heartwood of many wood species with liquid preservatives using conventional liquid processes. Supercritical fluids (SCF) used as carriers of preservatives to impregnate refractory wood species may be an attractive alternative to conventional liquid carriers. While SCF impregnation has many potential advantages, some wood species...
