Recent Advances in Nondestructive Evaluation of Wood: In-Forest Wood Quality Assessments

open access: yesForests, 2021
Efficient wood production and utilization requires knowing the wood quality attributes of forest resources relevant to various end uses, prescribing appropriate silvicultural treatments that positively influence wood quality, and then, at the time of ...

Managing for Wood Quality

2003
During the 20th century, the Pacific Northwest (western Oregon and Washington, coastal British Columbia, and southeastern Alaska) produced some of the highest quality timber in North America. Forests were old and trees were large; wood products from this region were easily distinguished from those made from timber produced in other regions in North ...

Bonding Quality of Fiber-Wood Interface with Wood Adhesives

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
Effects of fiber fabric type, glue spread, adhesive kind and angle between carbon fiber and wood grain on bonding quality of fiber-wood interface were investigated to make it clear whether wood adhesive can be used in fiber reinforced wood products. Four different kinds of fiber fabric were bonded into poplar sample with three different adhesives and ...

Wood quality of durable eucalypts

2021
Eucalypts are used globally on a larger scale for pulpwood than for sawn timber. They are known for high growth stresses which have limited its value and productivity as sawn timber. Previous studies have addressed the growth stress problem in some species but not at a large scale, as they are time consuming and costly to measure.

Sound quality assessment of wood for xylophone bars

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007
Xylophone sounds produced by striking wooden bars with a mallet are strongly influenced by the mechanical properties of the wood species chosen by the xylophone maker. In this paper, we address the relationship between the sound quality based on the timbre attribute of impacted wooden bars and the physical parameters characterizing wood species.

Methodology of Virtual Wood Piece Quality Evaluation

2015
This paper presents a way to evaluate the quality of virtual wood products according to their tomographic image. The main objective is to anticipate a sawmill divergent process in order to enhance the production plan. From a virtual representation of the product, singularity features are extracted and their impact on the product virtual quality is ...

Growth Rates and Wood Quality

2013
The growth rate of trees in a plantation depends on the species planted, the environmental conditions of the site and the silvicultural practices that are employed. For plantations being grown for the production of wood for industrial purposes (mainly building materials and paper), the fastest growing would have an annual growth rate increasing ...

Biology of Decay and Wood Quality

1975
Decay is the final stage of a long and complicated process that is initiated by wounds and involves chemical and anatomical protective responses of the tree and interactions of microorganisms among themselves and with the tree. A model of the decay process has been developed, based on the events that are known to occur from the time of wounding to ...
