Life cycle inventory of laminated veneer lumber and composite I-joist manufacturing

Creator:: Dancer, Eric R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to complete life cycle inventories (LCI) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and composite I-joist (I-joist) production in the two main forest products producing regions in the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeast (SE). LVL and I-joists are composite wood building materials that are...

Regional economic analysis of the U.S. wood remanufacturing industry

Creator:: Kingslien, Hal K.
Abstract:: This research provides state economic development planners and forest policy makers with new economic information about the wood remanufacturing industry. An overview describes each industry sector's employment, payroll size, and estimates of annual growth rates. This helps planners determine which sectors are likely to provide the most economic benefit to...

Emission, energy, and production efficiency of a radio-frequency assisted gas-fired veneer dryer

Creator:: Zenke, Randall C.
Abstract:: The drying of wood is required in most forest products manufacturing operations. Depending on the wood species, dimensions, drying temperatures, and drying duration, the amount of emissions and energy consumption can greatly affect the operating cost, environment, and quality of wood dried. As such, the forest products industry continues to...

X-ray computerized tomography of particleboard to predict through-thickness density profile

Creator:: Gao, Hong
Abstract:: Particleboard is a widely used composite panel product consisting of consolidated wood particles and adhesive. On a macro level the panel appears to be homogeneous, however, its density varies both throughout the plane of the panel as well as through its thickness. Of concern for this thesis is the through-thickness...

Effect of temperature on MOE and MOR of structural panels

Creator:: Zhou, Weidong
Abstract:: Oriented strand board is a panel product used in structural applications in home construction much like plywood, yet little is known of the effect of temperature and moisture content on its performance. The objective of this study is to study these effects on oriented strand board and for comparative purposes...

Dynamic mechanical analysis of wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Gao, Hong
Abstract:: Wood and wood-based composites are being used in either new or more demanding applications. A means is needed to successfully analyze new materials and to predict their long-term performance. Two techniques, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and time-temperature superposition (TTS) offer a means to accomplish this objective. The outcome of 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...

Engineering analysis of a rotary dryer : drying of wood particles

Creator:: Kamke, Frederick A.
Abstract:: Rotary dryers are the most commonly used wood drying system in the particleboard industry. These dryers also play an increasingly important role in drying wood residues for fuel. Many potential benefits may be realized through an improved understanding of the rotary drying process. A rotary dryer simulation model was developed,...
