Evaluating Wood Failure in Plywood Shear By Optical Image Analysis

This exploratory study evaluates the potential of using an automatic image analysis method to measure percent wood failure in plywood shear specimens. The results suggest that this method may be as accurate as the visual method in tracking long-term glue-bond quality. With further refinement, the method could lead to automated equipment replacing the, subjective visual method now used throughout the industry.
