Impact Bending Strength and Brinell Hardness of Densified Hardwoods
The objective of this research was to determine the influence of wood species (Fagus sylvatica L. and Populus tremula L.), thickness (4, 6, 10, 18 mm), and degree of densification (0%, 10%, and 20%) on the impact bending strength (IBS) and Brinell ...

Identification and comparison of oil compounds derived from pyrolysis of sound wood and decayed wood of beech by using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) [PDF]
Among the forest diseases, fungi are the most important factors that cause irreparable losses to the wood in standing trees and logs. Fungi are the cause of contamination and decay of trees and timbers in forest or in the stock of factories.

SHRINKAGE OF THE GELATINOUS LAYER OF POPLAR AND BEECH TENSION WOOD [PDF]
Macroscopic longitudinal shrinkage of beech and poplar tension wood is higher than in normal wood. This shrinkage is the result of mechanical interactions of cell wall layers. SEM observation of cut, dried surfaces showed that longitudinal shrinkage is much greater in the gelatinous layer than in other layers.
