  2. 1. Appearance grading of sawn timber

    Author : Anders Lycken; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Technology; Träteknik;

    Abstract : Grading of sawn timber has by tradition been performed by manual ocular inspection of the wood surfaces. Even today, most wood produced is graded by manual inspection. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microwave sensors for scanning of sawn timber

    Author : Nils Lundgren; Olle Hagman; Gary Schajer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microwave scanning; wood; density; moisture content; strength grading; finite element; Electronic measurement and instrumentation; Elektronisk mät- och apparatteknik; Träteknik;

    Abstract : A microwave imaging sensor that measures the signal transmitted through a board was investigated with respect to the ability to predict the distribution of moisture and density in sawn lumber. Furthermore, the response from the sensor was related to strength properties of the boards. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pith location and annual ring detection for modelling of knots and fibre orientation in structural timber : A Deep-Learning-Based Approach

    Author : Tadios Habite; Anders Olsson; Osama Abdeljaber; Jan Oscarsson; Welf Löwe; Julie Cool; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sawn timber; Pith location; Deep learning; Artificial neural networks; Convolutional neural network; Conditional generative adversarial network; Knot detection; Knot modelling; Knot reconstruction; Fibre orientation; Annual ring profile; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Detection of pith, annual rings and knots in relation to timber board cross-sections is relevant for many purposes, such as for modelling of sawn timber and for real-time assessment of strength, stiffness and shape stability of wood materials. However, the methods that are available and implemented in optical scanners today do not always meet customer accuracy and/or speed requirements. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling the effects of knots in Structural Timber

    Author : Christina Foley; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material technology; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; three-dimensional fiber paradigm; fiber deviation; knots; annual growth layer; material matrix; knot bump; structural timber; load carrying capacity; Materiallära; critical knot; knot distance ratio; local principal material directions; stiffness; materialteknik;

    Abstract : The main purpose of the pursued research is to increase knowledge of the effects of knots in structural timber so that characteristics of weaker timber may be determined and applied to improve current grading techniques. In the process, a three-dimensional fiber paradigm was established, which describes variations of local principle material axes in timber containing knots. READ MORE
