Book excerpt: The Lake States of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin consist of 49.4 million hectares (122 million acres) of land, 19.8 million hectares (49 million acres) of which are forested, with 6% of those having been removed by law from timber production. Aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an important component of this resource. In recent years, a concern that the aspen cut will exceed its growth has surfaced. That is, Will the aspen supply be adequate to support the growing solid-wood, composite, and paper industries in the Lake States region? To satisfy the increased demand for forest products, it is expected that much of the future timber supply will be from improved trees grown on managed plantations. It is critical that the mechanical properties of this resource are clearly understood so that alternative uses of this material can be evaluated. A study was conducted using full-size lumber tests on 243 38- by 89-mm (2- by 4-in.; hereafter called 2 by 4 gass) boards cut, using two methods, from 50 logs to determine selected mechanical and physical properties of the Wisconsin-5 hybrid poplar clone. The material was either kiln dried or partially air dried followed by kiln drying. The 2 by 4 gass were assigned grades according to four grading rules: Light Framing, Structural Light Framing, Structural Lamination, and Machine Stress Rating. Results suggest that this poplar clone would produce visually graded material that is similar in properties and characteristics to the native aspen and cottonwood resource. Close to 65% of the material produced made grades of either Standard and better or No. 2. The Machine Stress Rating grade most likely to be produced from this material would be 1450f--1.3E. To avoid excessive degrade as a result of warping during drying, this material should be dried in flitch form.

Download or read book Advances in Composite Materials written by Pavla Tesinova and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composites are made up of constituent materials with high engineering potential. This potential is wide as wide is the variation of materials and structure constructions when new updates are invented every day. Technological advances in composite field are included in the equipment surrounding us daily; our lives are becoming safer, hand in hand with economical and ecological advantages. This book collects original studies concerning composite materials, their properties and testing from various points of view. Chapters are divided into groups according to their main aim. Material properties are described in innovative way either for standard components as glass, epoxy, carbon, etc. or biomaterials and natural sources materials as ramie, bone, wood, etc. Manufacturing processes are represented by moulding methods; lamination process includes monitoring during process. Innovative testing procedures are described in electrochemistry, pulse velocity, fracture toughness in macro-micro mechanical behaviour and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has provided fundamental insight into thermal treatment effects by hot-pressing to improve wood performance. Densification with acceptable degradation improved lignin matrix and cellulose reinforcement which concomitantly improve wood-composite engineered products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years wood strength researchers have begun to replace experimental unit allocation via random sampling with allocation via sorts based on nondestructive measurements of strength predictors such as modulus of elasticity and specific gravity. Although this procedure has the potential of greatly increasing experimental sensitivity, as currently implemented it can easily reduce sensitivity. In this paper we discuss the problem and we present solutions. Given the existence of nondestructive measurements of strength predictors, our methods can be used to reduce sample sizes. We have written a public domain computer program that implements the methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of red oak (Quercus spp.), white oak (Quercus spp.), hard maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and compare them to values from past publications. Mechanical testing was conducted on small, clear, defect-free specimens from red oak, white oak, hard maple and yellow-poplar following the standard ASTM D143. Percentage of latewood, moisture content, specific gravity, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), compression parallel and perpendicular to the grain and Janka hardness were determined. Results indicated that mechanical properties for red oak, white oak, hard maple and yellow poplar have not changed substantially because the average values remain in a range that is very close to the ones published in past studies. Thus, values from the Wood Handbook can still be used for engineering purposes..
