Effect of Minimum Suppression and Maximum Release Years on Compression Parallel to Grain Strength and Specific Gravity for Small-sized Yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) Specimens
… properties of wood are also closely related to specific gravity, it would thus be of interest to learn how minimum suppression and maximum release years' evidence that can be extracted from radial growth patterns based on a modified radial growth averaging (RGA) technique's influence the …

Two novel techniques to study multiple bolted wood connection behavior
… bolts output an electronic signal proportional to the shear forces transmitted through the bolt in a double-shear connection during loading. The digital image correlation method combines digital image analysis and image correlation to calculate surface displacements from a set of digitized video …

Long-term creep modeling of wood using time temperature superposition principle
… (TTSP) for kiln-dried southern pine loaded in compression parallel-to-grain and exposed to constant environmental conditions (~70°F, ~9%EMC). Short-term accelerated creep (17 hour) and recovery (35 hour) data were collected for each specimen at a range of temperature (70°F-150°F) and constant …

Relationships of growth rate and mechanical properties in sweetgum, Liquidambar styraciflua
… from both plantations. Each tree was sampled for compression strength parallel to grain along the height of the merchantable stem. Oven-dry specific gravity was then calculated for each sample. The results indicate that young sweetgum trees grow weaker wood than mature trees. It was observed that …
