Firebrand Generation From Thermally-Degraded Cylindrical Wooden Dowels [PDF]
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2019 During wildland fires, firebrands form once they break off of burning vegetation or structures. Many are then lofted into the fire plume where they are transported long distances ahead of the fire front, igniting new “spot” fires as they land.

Influence of Biological Pretreatment of Wooden Dowels on Strength of Rotary Welded Joints
BioResources, 2023 Welding wood achieves joints whose strength is comparable with the strength of glued joints. When welding, the top of the dowel is not welded because of the lack of melted lignin.

Passive electroculture using copper rods does not improve yield in home container vegetable gardening. [PDF]
PLoS ONEElectroculture, or the practice of applying electric fields or current to plants, has been explored for nearly three hundred years. Recently, home gardeners on social media have adopted the term electroculture to describe inserting copper-wrapped dowels ...

Reconstruction of Wooden Sleepers by Fitting in Plastic Screw Dowels
Promet (Zagreb), 2012 Over three million wooden sleepers are built into the Croatianrailway tracks. The durability of these sleepers depends verymuch on the fastening between the sleepers and the rails providedby the sleeper screws.

Computational modelling of random distribution of stresses for wooden structures [PDF]
Инженерно-строительный журнал, 2017 Stochastic allocation is the main characteristic of processes which can be described in wooden structures. Random distribution of stresses and deformations in such structures is mostly based on timber imperfections, such as different curvature of sticks,

The Influence of Different Wood Modifications on Pull-out Force of Rotary Welded Dowels
Drvna Industrija, 2023 The increasing use of modified wood justifies the intention to use it in joints made by rotary welding with dowels. Thermal modification, for example, increases the dimensional stability of wood by reducing its hygroscopicity and water absorption, but it
