摘要:This paper discusses the significance, design parameters and content for establishing new product standards for bamboo utilization in China. It also analyzes the status of the current standards and the need for international standardization, especially where bamboo products are used in construction. An experiment has been designed and completed which was developed around the National Bamboo Standards for both China and India. The results showed that the mechanical properties of bamboo were affected significantly by loading speed. Furthermore, the confusion of multiple bamboo standards is discussed and suggestions for future standard modification were made.
摘要:Acacia, a fast growing tree species having good adaptability, is being widely used as a plantation crop in Southern China. Based on an analysis of its anatomical characteristics, natural durability, drying, pulping and woodbased panel properties, results indicate that Acacia wood is a suitable resource for papermaking, woodbased panels and solid wood furniture.
摘要:The effects of compression ratio, assembly type and reinforcement method on mechanical properties of Poplar laminated veneer lumber (LVL) were investigated. Among all the factors, the compression ratio was the most effective. Higher compression ratio resulted in higher modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and shear strength but less deflection related to creep. LVL assembled using thinner veneer on the face and thicker veneer in the core layers, as well as LVL made by resin impregnated veneer showed better mechanical properties. LVL with fiberglass reinforcement had less effective influence. The creep behavior of LVL was similar to that of wood. However, the instantaneous recovery of LVL specimens, measured after load removal, was less than the instantaneous deflection. Some assembly types mentioned in this paper could benefit LVL by increasing MOR and MOE as well as modifying creep behavior.
摘要:Three different types of composite panels, representing different uses, were made using Poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr. triploid clone) and fiberglass as the primary raw materials and PF resin as the adhesive. Compared with common particleboard made with Poplar and PF resin, the physical and mechanical properties results indicated that the density (ρ), modulus of rupture (MOR), and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the panels all improved. However, moisture content (MC) and internal bond (IB) strength both dropped slightly, while thickness swell (TS) was mixed with some specimens having results above the standard and others below.

摘要:Canada Poplar (Populus canadensis) and Manchurian Ash (Fraxinus mandshurica) wood were modified by microwave heating for various treating times. They were then dried together with similar untreated wood under the same drying conditions. Experimental results were based on electron microscope scans as well as data collected on drying speed and shrinkage measurements from modified and unmodified wood. The results showed, 1) some pit membranes of the treated wood were destroyed and some tylose were redistributed, or separated out after the microwave modification process, 2) the modified wood revealed better properties than the unmodified wood, especially the hardwood. The treated wood was found to have lower density, a larger shrinkage ratio, a higher water absorbing characteristic and a faster drying speed.
摘要:This experiment studied the influence of mold design on molding a cuppy product from maize stalk powder. The results showed that increasing the conical angle of the mold improved flowing and molding performance of the maize stalk powder. It was also found that a mold with a plane bottom and a round edge was more helpful than a mold without a round edge.
摘要:This paper discusses the use of the woodworking relieving integratedformed milling cutter computer aided design (WRIFCAD) program to design a cutter for a milling machine that would be used for woodworking applications. The cutter has an integrated relief designed into it. The WRIFCAD system is based on the woodworking cutter design theory and was developed with the use of computer graphics. Detail is presented for each block of the system and the design process.
摘要:The drying characteristics of Rich Acaica(Acacia confusa) wood was investigated following the procedure described in the 100℃ test method. The drying rate was 0.32%/h and the drying duration lasted for 228 hours (9.5 days). Performance test results showed that Rich Acaica belongs to the wood drying classification of "difficult to dry", yet this study demonstrated that the quality was capable of reaching the Chinese National Standard second grade level for sawn lumber drying.

摘要:A new kind of acidderesination agent was developed to treat Masson’s Pine (Pinus massoniana) boards (500 mm×200 mm×55 mm ), a fast growing plantation species. The boards were treated under a low temperature and low wood to solution ratio. Compared with untreated board, the results showed that treated boards retained their original color. However, there was a small decrease in other physical and mechanical properties of boards. The treated wood is suitable as furnishing and furniture materials.
摘要:The current status of fireretardant treated wood and wood composites, both domestic and imported, are reviewed in this paper. The types of fireretardant and their characteristics, as well as application, treating technology and testing methods for fireretardant products, are also presented. Finally, the development trends of fireretardant treated wood and wood composites are discussed.
