Numerical modeling and experiments on wood-strand composites

Creator:: Le, Edward A.
Abstract:: In wood-based composites, the glue-line (interface) between wood-strands affects the stress transfer from one member to the next. The glue-line properties determine the rate of load transfer between phases and these properties depend on wood species, surface preparation, glue properties, glue penetration into wood cells, and moisture content of the...

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...

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...

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,...

Studies of polystyrene (PS) high density polyethylene (HDPE) and PS/HDPE/wood composites from an extrusion process : mechanical properties, rheological characterization and morphology

Creator:: Xu, Bin
Abstract:: The global motivation for this work comes from the desire to fabricate "plastic lumber" with improved mechanical properties (particularly creep resistance) from recycled plastics and wood composites. The present studies have utilized "virgin plastics" of polystyrene (PS), an amorphous, stiff material that exhibits brittle fracture, and high density polyethylene (HDPE),...

Effect of elliptic or circular holes on the stress distribution in plates of wood or plywood considered as orthotropic materials

Creator:: Forest Products Laboratory (U.S.)
Abstract:: Originally prepared in 1944. Information reviewed and reaffirmed 1962.
Resource Type:: Technical Report
Full Text:: This is a mathematical analysis of the stress distribution existing near a hole in a wood or plywood

Interfacial shear strength of wood-plastic composites

Creator:: Rogers, James F.
Abstract:: This study examined the relationship of interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and bending strength (MOR) of several different wood-plastic composites (WPC's). Plastics utilized were high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Pine and oak were used as the wood species. Compatibilizers used included maleicanhydride polyethylene (MAPE), polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI), KymeneTM,...

Morphological characterization of wood plastic composite (WPC) with advanced imaging tools : developing methodologies for reliable phase and internal damage characterization

Creator:: Wang, Yi
Abstract:: Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers, wood flour, and a small amount of process- and property-enhancing additives; they are principally used in the automotive industry and as secondary building materials. Although the WPC market is expected to keep growing, it is still relatively small when...

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...
