The effect of thinning on mechanical properties of Douglas fir, Norway spruce, and Sitka spruce
(Springer Verlag, 2019-01-07)
Context: The relationship between silvicultural management and the quality of timber produced is not entirely elucidated.
Aims: The effects of thinning on structural grade-determining properties of wood (elastic modulus, ...
The influence of crown and stem characteristics on timber quality in softwoods
(Elsevier, 2018-12-28)
The relationships between several crown and tree properties and timber quality were examined on three softwood species: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) and Sitka ...
Mechanical characterisation of green Sitka spruce logs
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
ABSTRACT: Timber is by its nature a very heterogeneous material. Many different factors impact its mechanical properties,
from tree species to environment (climate, competition, soil…). While a number of studies in the ...
Relationships between wood properties of small clear specimens and structural-sized boards in three softwood species
(De Gruyter, 2019-06-12)
Research on the mechanical and physical properties of wood is commonly carried out on either small clear specimens or structural-sized boards. The first approach was more frequently utilised in the past, while the latter ...
