In the middle of XIX century, Calabrian pine was planted in southern Italy to increase the
forest cover in mountainous areas. Many of these forest stands were never managed, since …

An innovative tree defect detection scheme, which combines acoustic-laser technique and
sonic tomography, is studied. A new sensor distribution can be adopted based on the near …

A non-destructive method for measurement of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) was
compared with the static method on beams of Cupressus lusitanica and Populus x …

Mixed-species forests may deliver more forest functions and services than monocultures, as
being considered more resistant to disturbances than pure stands. However, information on …

Given the heterogeneity of the material, the behaviour of a timber beam may differ
depending on which of its sides is subjected to tension and which one is subjected to …

Wood physical and mechanical properties in seven tropical hardwood species viz., Acacia
auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth., Artocarpus hirsutus Lamk., Artocarpus heterophyllus …

The characterization of poplar wood assumes a strategic position to increase the
competitiveness of the entire forest wood supply chain. From this aspect, the identification of …

Acoustic tomography for urban tree inspection typically uses stress wave data to reconstruct
tomographic images for the trunk cross section using interpolation algorithm. This traditional …

In this study; bending properties of beech wood (Fagus orientalis) were predicted using
stress–wave method and compared with static bending tests. First, lumbers which were …
