Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature's engineering of wood through genetics, wind, and weather creates a wide variability in wood as a material. Consequently, manufacture and users of wood products are frequently frustrated in dealing with the forest resource. Manufacturers sometimes argue that wood is difficult to consistently process into quality products because of the wide range of properties that exist in this raw material. Users of wood products can be equally frustrated with the performance variability found in finished products. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies have contributed significantly toward eliminating the cause of these frustrations. NDE technologies have been developed and are currently used in lumber and veneer grading programs that result in engineered materials that have consistent well-defined performance characteristics. This brief volume explores some of the processes that are used to manufacture wood, including green wood technology and provides a bit of history to wood production and its uses too.

This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of wood was prepared at the request of our colleagues throughout the world who expressed the desire for a synthesized source of information on the subject. We have attempted to meet their needs through this book. We contacted several widely respected technical authorities and asked them to prepare chapters dealing with their areas of expertise. Professor Frank Beall (University of California-Berkeley), Brian Brashaw (University of Minnesota-Duluth), Kevin Cheung (Western Wood Products Association), Bill Galligan (retired, Frank Lumber Company), John Kearns (Weyerhaeuser Company), and Xiping Wang (University of Minnesota-Duluth) responded positively to our request and prepared excellent chapters on acoustic emission/acousto-ultrasonics, ultrasonic veneer grading, visual grading of lumber, mechanical grading of lumber, and recent research on NDE of green materials, respectively. Sections of the book originally appeared in technical journals, research reports, and various symposia proceedings. We have included, for example, a chapter on inspection of timber structures that originally appeared as a research paper, which was widely distributed and used by engineering consultants who inspect structures as a part of their business. We prepared this book to serve as a primary reference on NDE of wood. More than 400 technical articles are cited in the chapters or listed in the Appendix. We also intended it to be used as a primer or handbook on several widely used NDE technologies. The chapters on machine grading of lumber, ultrasonic veneer grading, and inspection of wood in service were written to provide a concise source of information to manufacturers and users of wood products who are considering use of various commercially available NDE technologies in their manufacturing operation or consulting business. This book was made possible through the efforts of dedicated scientists who spent countless hours in laboratories developing our technical knowledge base on NDE of wood. Roy F. Pellerin Robert J.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on the Nondestructive Characterization and Imaging of Wood by Professor Voichita Bucur is truly the most outstanding reference on the subject ever written. Since the origins of mankind, wood has played a key role in the history of humans and other living creatures, ranging from provision of life from trees giving air, heat, light, and food to nourish their bodies to structures to protect them from the elements. Wood has also played a key role in one of the world's primary religions. Nondestructive diagnostics methods have long found application in medi cal practice for examination of the human body in order to detect life threatening abnormalities and permit diagnosis to extend life. Nondestructive testing has been used for many years to insure the safety of machinery, air craft, railroads, tunnels, buildings and many other structures. Therefore, it is timely for a treatise, like the present one, to be written describing how wood can be characterized without employing destructive test methods. Since wood is so valuable to mankind, it is important to know the latest methods to nondestructively characterize wood for all practical applications.

Download or read book Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology written by Peter Niemz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 2064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core concepts of wood applications, quality and life cycle assessment of this important natural resource are presented. The book concludes with a useful compilation of fundamental material parameters and data as well as a glossary of terms in accordance with the most important industry standards. Written and edited by a truly international team of experts from academia, research institutes and industry, thoroughly reviewed by external colleagues, this handbook is well-attuned to educational demands, as well as providing a summary of state-of-the-art research trends and industrial requirements. It is an invaluable resource for all professionals in research and development, and engineers in practise in the field of wood science and technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Wood Symposium Series was initiated by Washington State University and the USDA Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) in 1963 with the convening of a symposium on the topic of nondestructive testing of wood at FPL. Including that meeting, 17 symposia have been held during the last 50 years at various sites around the world that focus on nondestructive testing and evaluation of wood. The technical content of these symposia have been captured and published in hardcopy proceedings. The proceedings from this series of symposia are rather large; they contain over 6,000 pages of technical information related to the topic of nondestructive testing and evaluation of wood and wood products. Recently, many have expressed a need to have access to these proceedings in an electronic format. This General Technical Report was prepared to address that need. It includes a brief history of this symposium series, summaries of each symposium, and readily searchable electronic copies of the proceedings from each symposium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondestructive evaluation procedures are now widely used in the forest products industry. These procedures rely upon nondestructive tests to evaluate important physical and mechanical properties of wood-based materials and began with fundamental research during and after World War II. An important outcome was the evolution of machinery and process for grading lumber and veneer. A dedicated group of scientists and engineers conducted and adapted this research for industrial use and developed equipment to make accurate measurements of wood properties in a production setting. One of those engineers, Dr. Friend K. Bechtel, spent over 40 years developing modern testing equipment for use by the forest products industry. Among his significant contributions to the nondestructive testing field is his fundamental analytical work. Most of his design work began with a thorough evaluation of a test method, starting with underlying physical and mechanical principles. As an industrial research engineer, he focused on designing quality equipment that would provide accurate information to manufacturers and users of wood products. This publication describes some of his work in context with that of others, some previously reviewed and published and some not. It begins with a history of the industrial development of the machine stress rating lumber grading process. It then summarizes analytical work that delves into the effects that nonhomogeneities frequently found in wood products have on their mechanical properties.
