Wood is a renewable resource with excellent qualities and the potential to become a key
element of a future bioeconomy. The increasing environmental awareness and drive to …

The growing interest in timber construction and using more wood for civil engineering
applications has given highlighted importance of developing non-destructive evaluation …

The deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on construction materials,
especially wood and plastics, and the consequent impacts on their useful lifetimes, are well …

Wood's chemical composition has a close relationship to its mechanical properties.
Therefore, chemical analysis such as FTIR spectroscopy offers a reasonable non-destructive …

The growing applications of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in wood quality control and
monitoring necessitates focusing on data-driven methods to develop predictive models …

Monitoring the moisture content (MC) of wood and avoiding large MC variation is a crucial
task as a large moisture spread after drying significantly devalues the product, especially in …

Different mass timber structures require a specific range of wood moisture. Thus, moisture
monitoring is a crucial quality control task during timber drying that impacts the properties …

Monitoring the moisture content uniformity in kiln-dried wood and preventing large gradients
is vital as nonuniformity renders dried timbers susceptible to warpage and degrade. This …

This research aimed to evaluate the impact of the volcanic atmosphere on the mechanical
properties, modulus of elasticity (MOE), and rupture (MOR), of Cupressus lusitanica and …

There always exists subjective and objective color differences between digital wood grain
and real wood grain, making it difficult to replicate the color of natural timber. Therefore, we …
