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...

Full Text:: modified using viscoelastic thermal compression to increase veneer density and modulus of elasticity

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...

Creator:: DeVallance, David B.
Abstract:: Current lathe technology, smaller diameter logs, smaller core diameters, and the sale of higher grade veneer for use in engineered wood products are all factors contributing to plywood manufacturers using rougher veneer with different lathe check characteristics. When rough veneer is encountered, plywood manufacturers typically increase the adhesive spread rate...
