Results showed that all species tested had an average MOE greater than that required for CLT lumber. Visual grading was an important component in strength determinations as evidenced by the correlation between MOE and MOR. All grades of red oak (Quercus rubra L.) had higher densities than those of southern yellow pine, which is the traditional wood used in manufacturing CLT industrial mats, with a density of 616 kg/m3 at 12 percent moisture; the average density of the red oak tested was 770 kg/m3 at 13.98 percent moisture. All grades of red oak also had MOE and MOR values that met the requirements for lumber used in the manufacture of CLT industrial mats. For sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.), all grades met the required values for MOE and MOR, but only Grades 3 and 4 met the required density. All grades of yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) met the required MOE and MOR, but none met the required density.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"353 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The material and decoration have a significant impact on the design of Chinese-style chairs. Exploring the influence of these two factors on design styles and aesthetic expressions, as well as the related visual attention patterns, is of great importance for the design of Chinese-style chairs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of material (wood/metal) and decoration (pattern/no pattern) on the design style, aesthetic performance, and visual attention patterns of Chinese-style chairs. Fifty-six Chinese university students wore eye-tracking glasses to view four types of chair designs and completed subjective rating scales. The results show that material and decoration have both independent and interactive effects. Wood chairs exhibit a traditional design style and superior aesthetic performance compared to metal chairs. Traditional Chinese patterns enhance design style and aesthetic performance, particularly when applied to wooden chairs. Visual attention was not significantly different across chair designs, except for wooden chairs with traditional patterns on the backrest, which attracted more attention. These research findings provide reference for designers to design Chinese-style chairs.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141410222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the slogan of replacing plastic with bamboo and the optimization of bamboo's organizational structure and processing form, bamboo is becoming more and more designable. However, we found that there are still many views expressing dissatisfaction with bamboo products, among which homogeneity and insufficient design differentiation are the most frequent. On the basis of this, we obtained attributes for measuring bamboo product satisfaction through literature review, conducted a questionnaire survey of 463 customers to obtain data, and empirically analyzed attributes such as product creativity (PC), product quality (PQ), product fashion (PF), soft added value (SV), and shopping convenience (SC). We assessed the impact on consumer satisfaction (CS), as well as the impact on satisfaction under the moderating effect of brand image (BI). The results show that PF, BI, PC, and PQ positively affect CS; PF, PQ, and SV positively affect the BI; PF, SV, and PQ positively affect CS through the intermediary effect of BI. SV has an insignificant effect on CS, but can positively affect CS through BI, indicating that there is a partial mediating effect of BI. However, the mediating effect of BI on PC, SC, and CS has not been verified. Finally, on the basis of the conclusions, several countermeasures and suggestions for bamboo product innovation are put forward.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"245 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140469137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interest in African mahogany has been increasing because of the reduced availability of native Brazilian mahogany, which has become illegal to harvest. Most African mahogany comes from managed plantations, so the increased consumption of this wood helps to alleviate issues related to illegal harvesting by reducing the trade of Brazilian mahogany. African mahogany has also been gaining popularity in the United States, particularly for use in the wood flooring market. However, there is lack of technical information on the properties of African mahogany material available in the US market, therefore, the objective of this work was to describe anatomical features, evaluate physical–mechanical properties and examine natural resistance of African mahogany wood that is commercially available in the US market. The results of this research provides an increase in knowledge on African mahogany wood properties, natural resistance, and provides technical information that is needed by industry.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"57 5-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140517261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of primary interest was the deflection behavior of the SIPs under load. After testing, the deflection was apportioned between the bending stiffness of the oriented strand board (OSB) and the shear modulus of the foam. Results indicated that when the known OSB modulus of elasticity values of 664,000 psi and 931,000 psi were considered among the different SIP thickness and treatments (with and without creep testing), the shear-based deflection from the foam ranged from 44 to 73 percent of the overall deflection. The calculated foam modulus of rigidity decreased slightly but significantly after creep testing. Also, the shear-based foam deflection increased slightly but significantly after creep testing.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"13 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140519957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, softwood species continue to serve as the only approved material for CLT in structural applications according to ANSI/APA PRG-320. Nonstructural CLT products that utilize low-grade lumber from hardwood species, are a good option for introducing hardwoods into the CLT market.\u0000 Of the hardwood species located within Appalachia, northern red oak (Quercus rubra) is readily available. The purpose of this research was to develop hardwood cross-laminated timber mats utilizing low-grade red oak lumber. In order to manufacture red oak CLT mats, the best adhesive and bonding parameters had to be identified. Overall, sample CLT panels were made using three adhesives with nine different setups for each adhesive. The sample panels were processed into smaller blocks and separated for cyclic delamination and shear-block tests following the ANSI/APA PRG-320 standards.\u0000 This research determined that a phenol–resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF) adhesive produced the lowest percentage of delamination, satisfying the delamination requirements. The PRF adhesive also produced the largest percentage of wood failure in shear-block testing, however, the results fell short of meeting the requirements. A Taguchi statistical analysis was used to predict the optimal bonding parameters for each adhesive. The optimized bonding parameters for the polyurethane (PUR) adhesive produced favorable results, indicating the delamination results have the potential to nearly meet the standard requirements, while the predicted shear results would exceed the requirements.","PeriodicalId":502668,"journal":{"name":"Forest Products Journal","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140520158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results showed that hickory husks could be compressed and formed into BMF briquettes at room temperature. When the moisture content of the raw materials was 14 percent and LDR of the forming mould was 4.5, the quality of BMF was best, and relaxation density of the BMF briquette was 0.98 g/cm3. When the moisture content stayed same, the forming pressure increased correspondingly with the increase of the LDR of the forming mould. When the LDR of the forming mould stayed the same, the moulding pressure increased first and then decreased with increase of moisture content.
