Journal ArticleDOI
Response of hygroscopicity to heat treatment and its relation to durability of thermally modified wood
TL;DR: In an attempt to study the effect of heat treatment on hygroscopicity and durability of wood, Poplar (Populus spp.) wood was thermally modified using five different temperatures between 170 degrees and 170 degrees as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radio frequency vacuum drying of wood. i. mathematical model
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional mathematical model to describe the transport phenomena during continuous radio frequency/vacuum (RF/V) drying of thick lumber was developed from general conservation equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning use in predicting interior spruce wood density utilizing progeny test information
TL;DR: The utilization of machine learning models as a credible method for estimating wood density using available growth data as an indirect method for determining trees wood density is expected to become increasingly helpful to forest managers and tree breeders.
Journal Article
Radio-frequency/vacuum drying of softwood : drying of thick western red cedar with constant electrode voltage
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural network prediction of bending strength and stiffness in western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Raf.)
TL;DR: In this paper, the stiffness and strength, modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus-of rupture (MOR), as well as density, moisture content, microfibril angle and diffraction pattern coefficient of variation of azimuthal intensity profile (ICV) was determined for 259 small clear specimens.
