  • Toward an Optimal Working Distance for Hyperspectral Imaging of Wood

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Michelle T.
    Abstract:
    The forest products industry relies on the production of high-quality wood to satisfy consumer requirements. Improving wood quality requires an effective and inexpensive technique for measuring critical properties such as density and microfibril angle. An emerging technology known as near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR HSI) essentially captures surface images of samples...

  • Application of Infrared Spectroscopy for Determination of Wood Natural Durability

    Creator:
    Lipeh, Shahlinney
    Abstract:
    Natural durability remains one of the most attractive characteristics of wood, and helps wood obtain a premium price. A worldwide shift towards the use of younger trees from intensively managed forests has created greater concerns about wood quality, especially the wood’s resistance to fungi and insects. Wood durability is assessed...

  • Exploratory Study of Salvaged Lumber as Feedstock for Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

    Creator:
    Arbelaez, Raphael E.
    Abstract:
    The United States generates over 70 million tonnes of wood waste annually, with over 27 million tonnes still available for recovery. Current recycling rates for wood waste are in the range of 10% to 15%, which is much lower than other common building materials and indicative of an underutilized resource....
