The Effect of Organic Liquids on Collapse and Shrinkage of Wood. 1. Effect of Degrees of Replacement
Specimens of two collapse-susceptible species, Quercus kelloggii and Arbutus menziesii were ovendried after their original water had been replaced with varying concentrations of n-propyl alcohol and cellusolve solutions. Collapse and […]

The Effect of Organic Liquids on Collapse and Shrinkage of Wood. III. Chemical Influences
Thirteen organic liquids, used separately, replaced the water in unseasoned Quercus kelloggii Newb., and in Arbutus menziesii in order to determine their action for reduction in shrinkage and collapse. The […]

The Effect of Rays on the Differential Shrinkage of Red Oak
Radial shrinkage of broad ray tissue in red oak is only a small percentage of that of adjacent fiber tissue. The lower shrinkage of ray tissue may be partially explained […]

The Effect of Resonating Wood During Drying
Drying rates can be accelerated significantly by vibrating a piece of wood at its fundamental resonance. Using small specimens under laboratory conditions, drying times were reduced 15 percent. Resonating impulses […]

The Effect of Unidirectional Diffusion and Prefreezing Upon Flexural Creep in Redwood
Minature beams were prepared from redwood heartwood and then dried from the green condition under static load at both 100?F and 150?F. The influences on relative creep (creep deflection divided […]

The influence of conditioning on honeycomb development in high-temperature-dried Pacific Coast hemlock
Three-foot-long specimens of 2- by 4-inch and 4- by 4-inch Pacific Coast hemlock lumber were conditioned immediately after high-temperature drying with the purpose of reducing degrade from honeycomb. Three runs […]
