  1. 1. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Physical and Mechanical Properties of Medite® MDF Exterior from Acetylated Wood Fibers

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Junqiu Li; [2018]
    Keywords : Medite® MDF exterior; Medium density fibreboard MDF ; Acetylated wood fibers; Physical properties;

    Abstract : Currently, the demand for wood-based panels has been growing solidly in European countries. Medium density fibreboard (MDF) manifests the potentialities for outstanding physical and mechanical properties. However, MDF from different fiber sources is normally designed for internal applications due to the poor moisture resistant capability. READ MORE

  4. 3. Bending properties of commercial wood-based panels by NDT methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Francesco Poggi; [2017]
    Keywords : Wood-based panels; Non-destructive testing; Bending properties; Resonance vibration; Time-of-flight; Modulus of elasticity; Modulus of rupture; Stress wave velocity; Relative humidity.;

    Abstract : This thesis work focuses mainly on the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods on wood-based panels (WBP) in order to estimate the bending properties. To prove the accuracy and applicability of these methods on WBP, their results are correlated with results from a standardized static bending test. READ MORE
