Fracture properties of balsa wood and balsa core sandwich composites

Creator:: Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
Abstract:: Favorable properties of Balsa wood make it an interesting alternative in a number of applications including thermal insulation or as a lightweight core material in sandwich composites. Increasing use in construction necessitates a better understanding of its mechanical and failure properties. In the present work, mode I and mode II...

Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

Creator:: Mirzaei, Babak
Abstract:: The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:: Rathi, Vardan M.
Abstract:: The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

Determining fracture toughness by orthogonal cutting of polyethylene and wood-polyethylene composites

Creator:: Semrick, Kalin
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate orthogonal cutting as a method to determine the fracture toughness of low and high density polyethylene and wood plastic composites. A test fixture was developed to capture normal and tangential cutting forces at variable depth and rake angle. A tool interface method...

Characterization of load transfer in wood-based composites

Creator:: Schwarzkopf, Matthew John
Abstract:: The mechanical performance of composite materials is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. Binders are commonly used to bond composite components together and to provide effective load transfer between them. In wood-based composites the binder-component load transfer occurs at...

Modeling the physical processes in natural fiber composites during batch and continuous pressing

Creator:: Thomen, Heiko
Abstract:: A three-dimensional model based on fundamental principles to simulate heat and mass transfer and mat densification during hot pressing of wood-based composites is presented. Mechanisms included in the analysis are water vapor and air transfer by gas convection and molecular gas diffusion, conductive and convective heat transfer, and sorptive effects,...

Designing a strand orientation pattern for improved shear properties of oriented strand board

Creator:: Alldritt, Kenton
Abstract:: As oriented strand board (OSB) increases in use as an engineered wood product, improving the in-plane shear properties will allow more efficient use of the material as well as open up other opportunities for OSB to be used in engineered wood products with high shear stresses. Based on classical laminated...

Quantification of resin efficiency in wood composite panels

Creator:: Lampert, Nicholas S.
Abstract:: Efficient usage of resin is of critical importance to industry in the manufacture of wood composite panels, because resin represents a significant proportion of product costs. However, resin efficiency is poorly defined in literature, making it difficult to compare manufacturing processes in quantifiable terms. Additionally, resin content in the product...
