A comparison of some physical and mechanical properties of full-sib and half-sib loblolly pines
Thirty-one, 14-year-old, full-sibling loblolly pines from a seed orchard were tested for physical and mechanical properties. The variability of the full-sib samples was compared to that of 15-year-old, half-sibling loblolly […]

A model of the effect of fines content on the strength properties of oriented strand wood composites
A study with 6-inch-long aspen strands and mill fines material showed that increasing fines content, when evenly distributed through the product thickness, reduces the bending strength properties of oriented strand […]

A model of the effect of strand length and strand thickness on the strength properties of oriented wood composites
A model has been developed of the mechanism by which stress is transferred between contiguous particle components of oriented strand products such as oriented strandboard and oriented strand lumber. It […]

A New Approach to Stress Grading of Lumber
Forcing low strength certification on many pieces of lumber which should have higher ratings makes lumber vulnerable to substitution by other materials which may be inferior in strength. To make […]

A New Approach to the Determination of Fiber Saturation Point from Mechanical Tests
Estimation of fiber saturation point by mechanical testing involves plotting modulus of rupture or modulus of elasticity values against moisture content. As moisture content increases from zero percent, the modulus […]

A New Look At Mechanical Lumber Grading
This article attempts to reappraise the whole question of machine stress-grading. The proposal is made that there should be a change in approach, with greater emphasis being placed on modulus […]
