Coir Fiber (CF) sheets with dimensions of 200 x 200 x 12 mm ( + 3mm) were used as the natural fiber, whereas a thermosetting plastic or an elastomer (unsaturated polyester [UPE] or silicon rubber [SIR]) was used as the binder in the matrix. Processing was performed using the vacuum infiltration method, wherein the liquid polymer was made to infiltrate the cellulose of the natural structure of the CFs and disperse within the CF matrix. The effect of production variables on thermal, sound, and flexural properties was evaluated. Material characterization tests revealed that the addition of the UPE and SIR as reinforcing materials enhanced the thermal conductivity of the CFs. UPE improved the modulus of rupture of the CFs. The study further revealed that CF/SIR composites showed high ductility. Analysis of the sound absorption properties of the composites revealed that the noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of the CF/400 wt% SIR composite was the highest. Moreover, the CF/SIR composites showed higher sound absorption efficiency (α) values at high frequencies than those of the CF/UPE composites. However, the polymers had no effect on the NRC of the neat CFs when added in a low concentration (200 wt%). This study shows that coconut husk waste can be used to produce reinforced polymer composites with desirable thermal conductivity and sound absorption characteristics.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"147-156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41525991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two-layer tree models with various diameters and proportions of juvenile wood were constructed to examine the effects of these two factors on propagation patterns and velocity of acoustic waves. The simulation results and analysis indicated that acoustic wave propagation in trees is dependent on both tree diameter and propagation distance. In the context of time-of-flight (TOF) acoustic measurement on standing trees with a test span of 1.2 m, when tree diameter is 10 cm or less, or slenderness is twelve or greater, wave propagates as quasi-plane waves in tree trunk, and the tree velocity determined using the TOF method is then comparable to the log velocity measured using the acoustic resonance method. When tree diameter is 40 cm or larger, or slenderness is three or less, wave propagates as dilatational waves in the tree trunk; thus, the three-dimensional wave equation should be considered for wood property prediction. When tree diameter falls between 10 and 40 cm or slenderness falls between 3 and 12, wave propagation is in a transitional phase. Mathematical models were developed to convert the tree velocity in the transition mode to the resonance velocity. It was found that juvenile wood content resulted in a 113-m/s reduction in acoustic velocity. In addition, our analysis indicated that wave propagation in standing trees is controlled by the wood properties of entire cross section, not just the outerwood. Therefore, the wave velocity measured on standing trees reflects the global properties of the wood between the two measuring points.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"95-108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48756068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, for rough and heterogeneous surfaces, a robust and easily performed positioning method is necessary for reproducible measurements. One of the critical issues is the ability to position the AFM tip after the specimens are removed for treatments from a device and repeatedly analyzed. If the tip is not repeatably positioned within the measured area, the natural variability of surface (such as surface roughness) can mask the effects of treatments of interest. In this paper, a positioning method using the bordered pit of the wood radial surface as a natural marker is proposed and a systematic measurement procedure is presented. The idea results from the uniqueness of the anatomical features of a natural material (wood in this case) and low probability of having exactly the same geometry of pit clusters in the vicinity of the area of interest. The results show that the anatomical features can be used as unique markers for precise positioning of the AFM tip. The process is demonstrated using an example of the effect of temperature on adhesion forces on the wood surface. After the heat treatment, the wood surface layers were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR).","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"3-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47642679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the distributional form of the graded lumber subpopulation does depend heavily on the distributional form of the full mill-run population, and thus it is important to characterize the distributions of full mill-run lumber populations. Previous studies presented evidence suggesting that commonly-used distributions such as normal, lognormal, and Weibull distributions might not be suitable for modeling mill-run modulus of elasticity (MOE) and MOR; rather, nontraditional distributions such as skew-normal and mixed normal seem to be more appropriate models for the MOE and MOR of mill-run populations across mills and time. Previous studies of this kind have been carried out using only southern pine ( Pinus spp.) lumber. In this study, we extend this work by investigating whether the distributional forms found to adequately fit southern pine mill-run lumber populations also adequately fit other species (or species groups). The objective of this study is to identify statistical models that fit MOE and MOR distributions in mill-run spruce ( Picea spp.) and red pine ( Pinus resinosa ) lumber populations. Mill-run samples of 200 spruce 2 × 4 specimens and 200 red pine 2 × 4 specimens (for a total of 400 test pieces) were collected, and the MOE and MOR for each specimen were assessed. Various distributions were fit to the MOE and MOR mill-run data and evaluated for goodness-of-fit. In addition to further demonstrating that traditional distributions such as normal, lognormal, and Weibull may not be adequate to model mill run MOE and MOR populations, the results suggested that mixed normal and skew normal distributions might perform well across species.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"17-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46777447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The testing protocol allows for the identification and analysis of contributing deflection components in bending under varying MC conditions, including mechano-sorption. The components of deflection in the shear-free span of a four-point bending test and their responses to varying moisture are evaluated with an analytical procedure. The experiment was conducted on clear-straight-grained sapwood and heartwood specimens of Norway spruce ( Picea Abies )(30 x 15 x 640 mm 3) . The program consisted of three phases: (1.) long term (LT) experiments under constant temperature of 60 o C and relative humidity (RH) cycles between 40% and 80%, (2.) a short term static experiment to determine the variation in the sample set and the load-level of the LT experiment on end-matched specimens, and (3) creep tests at 60 o and constant humidity at either 40% or 80% to determine the effect of moisture on the viscoelastic creep. Mass changes and hygro-expansion measured on matched specimens were used in the analytical method. Constitutive models used for describing the material-level response to loads and moisture changes were applied to the shear-free segment of the specimens disregarding actual moisture gradients and fiber orientation inside the test specimens. A successful identification of each deflection component and isolation of mechano-sorption component was accomplished. In the 90 da of testing, the dominant component of the total deflection was the elastic component, followed by the mechano-sorptive component. Creep was found to be nonnegligible and important in the correct description of mechano-sorption. The effect of moisture on the viscoelastic behavior showed most important during loading and first stages of decreasing deflection rate phase.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"27-47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43111849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this aim, the following system is proposed: 1 ) the cross section of wood should be exposed to sound waves so that these can activate the vibration of air inside the wood pores; 2) the cross section should be cut to have small thickness to realize a thorough open cell absorber; 3 ) a void cavity should be left on the back to activate the absorption effect. This setup has been conceived to absorb sound by Helmoltz resonance. To preliminary assess the effectiveness of the system, cross sections of poplar wood were cut 1 mm thick and paired with rear void cavities 15, 30 and 50 mm thick. The normal sound absorption coefficient α was determined through the impedance tube method. Multiple absorption peaks and several α values higher than 0.6-0.7 (α max =0.99) were measured in the medium-low frequency range. Building on these results, further studies are envisaged to model the acoustic behavior of the system and to set the technical aspects relevant to its feasibility in practice.","PeriodicalId":23620,"journal":{"name":"Wood and Fiber Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"69-76"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44763822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
