Wood quality of durable eucalypts
2021Eucalypts 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, 2007Xylophone 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.

Wood-burning appliances and indoor air quality
Science of The Total Environment, 2001Wood heating represents an interesting economic alternative to electrical or heating oil and gas systems. However, many people are concerned about poor indoor air quality in homes equipped with wood-burning appliances. We conducted a study in the Quebec City region (Canada) to verify the extent of indoor air contamination, and to examine the frequency ...

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 ...

Methodology of Virtual Wood Piece Quality Evaluation
2015This 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 ...

Biology of Decay and Wood Quality
1975Decay 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 ...
