A noncontact ultrasonic inspection technique has been developed to study the properties of
wood samples in air. The system makes use of two broad bandwidth capacitive transducers …

The influence of inhomogeneity on acoustic velocity measured by a resonance-based
WoodSpec acoustic tool and a transit-time-based Fakopp-2D tool was investigated. Four …

Abstract Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) method is a very popular technique used in Non-
Destructive Testing (NDT) in Civil Engineering. Major benefit of the method is its simplicity …

This manuscript summarizes the process by which large trees are protected in Poland, how
they gain protected status, and the use of acoustic tomography to assess the structural …

Acoustic velocity, measured using time of flight tools, provides a nondestructive measure of
wood stiffness in standing trees. In order to assess how best to assess a stand of trees to a …

One method of evaluating potential product performance is the use of acoustic tools for
identifying trees with high stiffness. Acoustic velocities for 100 standing loblolly pine (Pinus …

The present paper describes the development and first application of ultrasonic imaging of
timber (wood) by means of reconstruction calculation (3D-SAFT; Synthetic Aperture …

The Acoustics of wood is either a part of Wood science and a part of Physical Acoustics for
materials characterization. The elastic characterization of wood with acoustic methods is …

This paper proposes an innovative ultrasonic time of flight (TOF) measurement method with
narrow-band transducers. By introducing the received ultrasonic wave peak time sequences …

This paper researches on the implementation of an ultrasonic time-of-flight (TOF) measuring
system by the difference of the peak time sequences (PTSs) of dual frequencies. The …
