Abstract
ABSTRACT The effects of laminate configuration on mechanical properties were investigated for model glued-laminated timber (GLT) composed of single and mixed fast-growing tree species (Acacia mangium Willd., Maesopsis eminii Engl., and Melia azedarach L.), which were grown in community forests in Indonesia. The simulation of lamina yield was decreased in graded GLT compared with that in GLT with randomly designed, while the mean values of simulated dynamic Young’s modulus (DMOE) in graded GLT were higher than those of GLT with randomly designed in each species. Graded GLT with mixed species should be produced to effectively utilize wood resources from fast-growing tree species. All mechanical properties showed higher values in single-species GLT especially for graded GLT, compared with solid lumber, suggesting that laminate configuration was effective for increasing mechanical properties. However, the factors that increase mechanical properties in single-species GLT differed among species. These factors can be evaluated by load-deflection curves. In GLT composed of single and mixed species produced with the same DMOE, almost all other mechanical properties were similar among laminate configurations. It is concluded that laminate configurations with different species and grades are useful for efficiently producing GLT with higher mechanical properties from multiple fast-growing tree species.
期刊介绍:
Wood Material Science and Engineering is a multidisciplinary and international journal with the aim to serve at the forefront of the wood science and technology field. The journal publishes original articles on basic and applied research dealing with:
-Wood material science with emphasis on: water-wood relations, wood durability, wood modification, wood mechanics, wood composites, engineered wood products, energy conversion and eco-efficient wood based products.
-Wood engineering, i.e. the application of the wood material science to designing, processing and manufacturing of forest products and the use of machines and processes for these products. Products of concern are biofuels, sawn wood and further refined products such as structural elements, interior fittings and furnishings. In this aspect the link between the nature of the wood material and the properties of the final wood products in-service and its impact on the environment is of outmost importance.
High quality review papers may also be accepted but the topic should be discussed with the editor before submission.
