Determining appropriate accelerated aging tests for keruing plywood

Creator:

Wilkie, George Robert

Abstract:

The main objective of this study was to determine appropriate accelerated aging methods for exterior plywood made with Southeast Asian hardwood face veneers. A secondary objective of this study was to determine the durability of exterior plywood made with keruing (12 Dipterocarpus spp.). To reach these objectives I made plywood...

Evaluation of testing procedures for stiffness properties of plywood

Creator:

Chen, Shaw-sun

Abstract:

Elastic properties of plywood panels are essential for predicting structural behavior of wood systems. The ASTM Standard D 3043-76 which evaluates the moduli of elasticity (MOE) of plywood, treats these panels as one dimensional beams instead of two-dimensional plates, which results in an overestimate of the MOE. Improved procedures for...
