Solid wood joints by in situ welding of structural wood constituents
Holzforschung, 2004 Abstract Mechanically-induced wood flow welding, without any adhesive, is here shown to rapidly yield wood joints satisfying the relevant requirements for structural application. The mechanism of mechanically-induced vibrational wood flow welding is shown to be due mostly to the melting and flowing of the amorphous polymer materials ...

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Optimization of Wood Welding Parameters for Australian Hardwood Species
BioResources, 2016 Optimal linear wood welding parameters along the end-grain-to-end-grain faces were determined for Eucalyptus saligna, Eucalyptus pilularis, and Corymbia maculata. Joints made using Eucalyptus saligna showed a significant interaction between welding time (

Record-High Latent Heat, Ultra-Fast Relaxation and Closed-Loop Recycling Double-Brush Polymer Networks for Self-Adaptive Thermal Interface Management. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)By grafting dense long double‐brush chains, we synthesized bottlebrush networks with high theoretical enthalpy. Their low entanglement, combined with dynamic bonds, promotes crystalline domain reorganization and minimizes enthalpy loss, achieving a record enthalpy of 240.7 J·g−1.
