A 3 dimensional stochastic finite element technique is presented herein for simulating the
nonlinear behaviour of strand-based wood composites with strands of varying grain-angle …

This study was conducted to explore basic physical and mechanical properties of parallel
strand lumber (PSL) made exclusively from southern pine and yellow-poplar, respectively …

A database from a series of cross-sectional density distributions in a 0.16× 0.34× 1.28 m
strand-based wood composite specimen has been successfully developed using X-ray …

Macro-voids in the core of uncompressed particle mats and pressed particleboard
manufactured from novel particleboard furnishes were characterized using a response …

The current work expands on a three-dimensional, non-linear, stochastic finite-element
model previously developed by the author. The model predicts a materially non-linear stress …

The void variation in a wood-strand composite mat during consolidation was simulated
using computer-aided design, finite element analysis, and computer image processing …

Strand-based composites are formed by arranging wood strands in a mat and bonding them
together with adhesives under heat and pressure. The performance of these products is …

Parallel strand lumber made from pine veneer. In the study, 12 beams were produced in 3
different veneer width variants, each 3mm thick, using polyurethane adhesive. The veneer …

Strand-based composites are formed by arranging wood strands in a mat and bonding them

Abstract Characterization of composite materials, such as Asphalt Concrete (AC) and other
engineering materials is required to provide data for design and construction. This is usually …
