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...

Creator:: Liu, Yuqing
Abstract:: Eighteen Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.ex.laws) veneer flitches were randomly selected and crosscut into paired flitches. Serpentine-end-matched (SEM) joints were machined in the flitches, joint amplitude equal to the width in one half of the paired flitch and joint amplitude equal to 2/3 width in the other half of the...

Creator:: Scouse, Adam A.
Abstract:: Western juniper and cinnamon essential oils were combined with ethanol at 2.5, 5, and 10% concentrations by weight and applied to hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x P. deltoids) veneers by vacuum soaking to produce a naturally durable wood veneer with increased mechanical properties for use in structural composites. Half of...

Creator:: DeVallance, David B.
Abstract:: Non-destructive commercial ultrasonic grading provides laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufacturers a means for sorting veneer based on average ultrasonic propagation time (UPT) and/or average dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd). While this may provide reliable estimations of modulus of elasticity (MOE), little is known about the influence of veneer defects on...

Creator:: Burnard, Michael D.
Abstract:: Face checking in decorative maple veneered plywood panels is a significant problem for hardwood plywood manufacturers, furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and consumers. Efforts made by panel producers and researchers to minimize checking conducted to-‐date have been limited, and produced contradictory results. In this study the impact of four manufacturing factors believed...
