On the phenomena of fracture in particle-board

Creator:: Ilcewicz, Larry Bert
Abstract:: Nonlocal theories of continuum mechanics are used to model the fracture behavior of particleboard in tension perpendicular to the plane of the board. Classical theories of fracture are examined in comparison to a nonlocal crack solution which has removed the stress singularity at the crack tip. With the removal of...

Resin efficiency : the effect of varying resin distributions upon resin performance in particleboard

Creator:: Hill, Michael Douglas
Abstract:: Past research has implied that differences in blender performance between commercial and laboratory particleboard blenders may not be attributed to resin distribution between screen fractions, as is commonly believed in the industry today, but to which particles within a screen fraction have resin and which do note To test this,...

The influence of various resin parameters on the physical properties of oak flakeboard

Creator:: Jay, Gregory Lynn
Abstract:: The substantial increase in resin costs due to the recent energy crisis, increased public awareness to the problem of free formaldehyde from boards bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins, and a projected increase in the production of exterior board have emphasized the need for new and substitute adhesive systems. One new development...

Bark as a supplemental source for wood furnish in particleboard

Creator:: Wisherd, Kurt Douglas
Abstract:: Competition for the conventional supply of wood residue utilized by the particleboard industry is increasing. Utilization of low quality residues by the pulp and paper industry, new sawmill and plywood recovery techniques, and the growing practice of converting low quality residues into steam and electrical power have all cut into...

Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

Creator:: Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
Abstract:: Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...

Bonding wood particle composites with foamed adhesive

Creator:: Watters, Allan Eugene
Abstract:: The quality and cost of wood particle composites are substantially determined by how the adhesive that bonds the composite is distributed on the particles. Distribution of the adhesive is controlled by the method of application. Currently the adhesive is applied by spraying it onto the particles. It was hypothesized that...

The effects of diisocyanate-polyol resins on the properties of particleboard.

Creator:: Milota, Michael R.
Abstract:: The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard. Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...

Risk management in particleboard production system design : a simulation study of the stochastic optimization problem

Creator:: Velazquez, Sergio Serrano
Abstract:: Effects of stochastic variations of parameters in the planning and design of a particleboard production system are studied. The solution obtained from a linear deterministic optimization model is compared against both the solution derived from the traditional stochastic programming techniques and the distribution of optimal objective function values obtained from...

State forestry in Oregon

Creator:: Cronemiller, Lynn Foster, 1890-
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The economic feasibility of locating an OSB plant in western Oegon [i.e. Oregon]

Creator:: Wright, Rhonda R.
Abstract:: The development of an OSB (oriented strand board) industry in Western Oregon would prove to be a real boost to the economy of an area that has suffered from the earlier recession of the forest products industry. Past studies have shown that it is technically feasible to produce OSB from...
