Four depth profiles were modelled for two different values of the acceleration voltage, two for each implanted element.

The work aims to experimentally verify the influence of selected anthropometric features on sitting comfort. The research was carried out on 12 people using a piezoelectric sensor mat and a model of adjustable sitting furniture. The study investigated how different seat and backrest inclination variants impact pressure distribution. The test results are the values of the contact pressures and discomfort coefficients D for nine combinations of the backrest and seat inclination related to the anthropometric characteristics of the tested group of people.

The paper deals with the issue of chip extraction from the milling process in a CNC machining center. The paper aimed to compare the particle size distribution of dust generated in the milling process of natural wood (beech, oak, and spruce) and MDF on a 5-axis CNC machining center. The particle size distribution was evaluated using sieve analysis of samples from the total weight of the captured dust. The results showed that the processing of natural wood is mainly characterized by the formation of coarse dust fractions (2 mm - 1 mm sieves), while the processing of MDF was associated with the formation of fine dust fractions with a size below 100 μm. Another of the objectives was to compare the separation values on the fractional separation curves of selected mechanical separators and filters with the size distribution of dust particles and to propose a suitable separation technique that meets the criteria of \"best available technique\" (BAT) in the processing of natural wood and MDF, as well as to point out the creation of and the production of harmful dust fractions, which arise mainly during the processing of MDF.

Every year, care cuts are carried out in the orchards, which result in a significantamount of waste. This waste is a valuable source of lignocellulosic material for particleboards production. As part of this study, the influence of the share of waste apple wood on the susceptibility to drilling of particleboards was investigated. Three-layer particle boards with share of lignocellulosic waste biomass from apple orchards (0%, 25%, 50% and 75%) and density level at 650 kg/m3and 550 kg/m3 were made. The particleboards were examined for the axial force and torque that occurs during drilling. The highest value of the axial force during drilling was notice for particleboard without apple wood and a density of 650 kg/m3. While the lowest axial force during drilling was recorded for particleboard with 50% share of apple wood and density of 550 kg/m3. The obtained results allow to conclude that density of the produced particleboards and the share of apple wood waste have a statistically significant effect on the axial force during drilling.

The popularity of composites reinforced with natural fibers is constantly growing and therefore, they are a subject of many scientific works as well. An example of interesting concept is the use of hemp fibers to reinforce a gypsum matrix and therefore, presented study was aimed to determine the effect of their content on the properties of resultant composites. Moreover, the influence of setting temperature was also investigated. The scope of the research included determination of properties such as: density, setting time, bending strength, modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity coefficient. Studies have shown that as the amount introduced fibers increases, the density of manufactured composites decreases. Furthermore, increase in the content of hemp causes a significant extension in setting time of the gypsum matrix. Based on the outcomes of mechanical properties, it was found that the optimal content of fibers is 4% and further increase in their share results in a deterioration of flexural strength characteristics. The increase in a setting temperature leads to thereduction in their bending strength and modulus of elasticity. Composites reinforced with hemp fibers demonstrate significantly improved thermal insulation properties","PeriodicalId":8020,"journal":{"name":"Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84449305","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}

From the granulometric analysis of the chips, it follows that the average share of the coarse fraction of the chips created from unsteamed alder wood is 66.0% and steamed alder wood is 62.9%. The representation of medium-coarse fractions of alder wood with dimensions of 1.0-0.125 μm in unsteamed wood is 29.5% and steamed by 32.7%. Dust fractions with dimensions below 125 μm in unsteamed alder wood account for 4.5% and in steamed alder wood 4.4%. Chips of non-steamed or steamed alder wood with dimensions below 32 μm were not measured, so it can be concluded that no respirable dust particles with dimensions below < 10 μm are formed. Changes in the physical and mechanical properties of steamed alder wood are manifested by a decrease in the coarse fraction above 2 mm and an increase in the fraction of chips 0.125 to 2000 μm.

A perfectly plastic material should have a Meyer hardness index of 2 and a perfectly elastic material of 3. Previous research by the author and co-workers indicated that the Meyer index of beech wood is 2.5 and for metals aluminum 2.25, copper 2.0. This gave rise to the hypothesis that the hardness index of each wood is about 2.5. It was decided to verify this hypothesis for different types of wood, different anatomical cross-sectional directions. Research on such diversity must therefore be of a probing nature. Nevertheless, these probing measurements indicate that different types of wood in given sectional planes have similar Meyer indexes, but in each section it is a different value. The measured mean value in the radial section was 2.41, in the tangential section 2.28 and in the cross section 1.98. Thus, the initial hypothesis of the value 2.5 was confirmed only for the radial section, and for the tangential and cross sections, new values of 2.25 and 2.0 were hypothesized. Only the extreme values of the Meyer indexes (on the radial and cross section) turned out to be statistically significantly different.","PeriodicalId":8020,"journal":{"name":"Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90417023","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}
