Wood dust generated during woodworking—particularly from hardwood species during
sanding—poses a health and safety hazard to workers in the wood industry. This study …

Prehistoric and Archaeological research has pointed out the role of marine resources in
modern humans' cognitive and cultural developments. Maritime adaptations constitute a key …

The purpose of the study was to measure the Brinell hardness (HB) of six wood species and
evaluate the ability to recover the depth of the imprint (self-re-deformation). Straight-grain …

We hypothesized that the type of wood, in combination with the grit size of sandpapers,
would affect sanding efficiency. Fixed factors were used in the experiment (a belt sander …

Hardness is one of the most important mechanical properties of materials, since it is used to
estimate their quality and to determine their suitability for a particular application. One …

Wood swelling and shrinkage affect the cooperation among the elements of furniture and
should be considered during design. This study investigated the influence of moisture …

Hardness is a key mechanical property of flooring materials. In this study, the performance of
veneer floorings (with a top layer thickness of 0.6 mm) was investigated by dynamic …

Oriented strand board (OSB) is a commonly used structural wood-based panel for walls and
roof siding, but recently the industry has become interested in OSB as a substrate for indoor …

An important issue addressed in research on the assessment of the quality of polymer
products is the quality of the polymer material itself and, in accordance with the idea of waste …

The aim of this study is to estimate the physical properties, absorbed energy, impact bending
strength, and Monnin hardness of clonal Eucalyptus wood (E. grandis, E. camaldulensis) …
