This paper presents the state of the art of different wood densification processes as one
emerging process technology. The main principles for the processes are discussed, such as …

Despite the importance of cell wall diffusion to nearly all aspects of wood utilization, diffusion
mechanisms and the detailed effects of moisture remain poorly understood. In this …

In this paper, the viscoelastic properties of wood under water-saturated conditions are
investigated from 10 to 135° C using the WAVE T apparatus. Experiments were performed …

In this paper, the compressive deformation of hybrid poplar wood (Populus deltoides×
Populus trichocarpa) at high temperature (150, 160, and 170° C) and under various …

Abstract Design, application and service life of modern engineered wood and its products
are closely related to environmental temperature and relative humidity (RH). In this study …

This study aims at better understanding the respective influences of specific gravity (γ),
microfibril angle (MFA), and cell wall matrix polymers on viscoelastic vibrational properties of …

Quasistatic nanoindentation is a proven tool that provides information on the
micromechanical behavior of wood cell walls. However, quasistatic tests cannot probe the …

A batch of 54 tropical species was analyzed using free-vibration and forced-released
vibration tests. The free-vibration tests were conducted by bending and compression using …

Main conclusion Glucomannan was more strongly oriented, in line with the orientation of
cellulose, than the xylan in both compression wood and normal wood of Chinese fir. Lignin …

Temperature–frequency sweep tests were performed on silicone rubber to investigate the
dynamic viscoelastic properties. The test results show that the viscoelasticity of silicone …
