A comprehensive review of the mechanical characterisation and modelling of randomly
oriented strand material architecture and their hybrids with laminates is presented …

The hot-pressing process is a vital step in the manufacture of wood-based composites and
directly affects the properties and quality of the final products. During hot pressing, the heat …

Delamination occurs in all man made composite materials as well as in natural composites
like wood, bones or rocks. Many groups of specialists with widely different backgrounds and …

Bamboo fiber composite (BFC) is a unidirectional and continuous bamboo fiber composite
manufactured by consolidation and gluing of flattened, partially separated bamboo culm …

This is the first of a four-paper series aiming to model fundamental bonding characteristics
and performance of wood composites. In this paper, a mathematical model and a computer …

A model is presented to determine the horizontal density distribution (HDD) and vertical
density profile (VDP) of oriented strand board (OSB) panels produced by batch pressing …

A mechanistic model was developed to predict the internal bond (IB) strength of wood
composites. Based on the earlier models reported in this series, the IB model integrates the …

A numerical model based on fundamental engineering principles was developed and
validated to establish a relationship between process parameters and the final properties of …

A mathematical model for characterizing horizontal density variation of a short-fibre wood
composite panel is derived in terms of local point density variance V (D), point …

The following study examines the effects that undulating strands have on the elastic
behavior of a wood-strand composite. A discrete Fourier series expansion was used to …
