This paper deals with the impact of heat treatment on the elastic and strength properties of
two diffuse porous hardwoods, namely Fagus sylvatica and Betula pendula. Two degrees of …

Previous research on thermally compressed (TC) coconut wood has shown potential for
structural applications. However, its dimensional stability needed to be improved. This study …

This paper should primarily lead to a targeted expansion of the database dealing with
bending characteristics, and thus help to understand the static and dynamic bending …

The prediction of physical (wood density, mass loss) and mechanical (bending properties,
compressive strength parallel to grain, and Brinell hardness) properties of heat-treated …

Temperature, one of the natural and environmental effects that affect the wood properties, is
an important factor for the utilization of wood. This study aims to figure out the effects of …

The use of heat-treated timber for building with wood is of increasing interest. Heat treatment
improves the durability and dimensional stability of wood; however, it needs to be optimized …

This work investigates different wood modification techniques to modify the acoustical
properties of tonewoods, in particular the sound radiation ratio (R). The treatments used …

In technical applications of wood-based composites, the predictability of elasticity and
strength is important. The aim of this study was to predict the static modulus of elasticity and …

(Goupia glabra), eucalypt (Eucalyptus saligna), garapeira (Apuleia leiocarpa) and jatobá
tamarindo (Hymeneae sp.) wood species. The factor investigated in this research was the …

Heat treatment is one of the environmentally friendly and cost-effective modification methods
applied for improvements of wood properties. However, influences of exposure duration and …
