Rheological behavior of Douglas-fir as related to the process of drying

Creator:

Wu, Qinglin

Abstract:

Large inelastic strain occurs inside a piece of lumber during drying. The strain consists of several components such as elastic, plastic, creep, shrinkage and mechano-sorptive effect. The mechanical behavior of the whole board during drying is determined by the behavior of individual strain components and their interactions. Whereas limited investigations...

Quantifying the total organic compound emissions during kiln drying of 2 by 6 coastal Douglas-fir lumber and analyzing the effects of drying conditions

Creator:

Wu, Jing

Abstract:

Volatile organic emissions (VOCs) from the kiln drying of lumber are of concern to government, research agencies, and the forest products industry. In the Pacific Northwest, neither the quantity of VOC emissions from kilns drying Douglas-fir is available, nor the effects of drying schedule and lumber-related characteristics on the emissions....
