Thermo-hygro rheological behavior of materials used in the manufacture of wood-based composites

Creator:

Ren, Shan

Abstract:

Thermo-hygro-rheology of wood-adhesive systems plays an important role during the hot pressing process of wood based composites. The principal objective of this research is to quantitatively study the thermo-hygro rheological characteristics of wood-adhesive systems used in such composites. This is with a view to providing material characteristics which may be...

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...
