2. Shape stability of laminated veneer products
Abstract : This thesis is about the shape stability of laminated veneer products.Laminated veneer products consist of veneers bonded together with adhesive into a predetermined shape. Such products are used in several contexts but especially in furniture manufacture. READ MORE

3. Moisture Transport and Moisture-Induced Distortions in Timber - an Experimental and Numerical Study
Abstract : Timber products subjected to climatic variations commonly display moisture-induced distortions that can lead to serious problems for end-users. The aim of the thesis, which consists of an extended summary and six appended papers, was to investigate the potential of using the gluing technique suggested here for dealing with problems of moisture-induced distortions and developing the heat and mass transfer models which such distortion analyses require.

4. Experimental characterization and numerical modeling of compression perpendicular to the grain in wood and cross-laminated timber
Abstract : Compression perpendicular to the grain (CPG) of wood is a typical loading situation in timber structures. It has been an extensively studied research topic for decades, due to the highly ductile behavior of wood under such loading, the large variations in mechanical properties, and the relevance of these properties in structural design.

5. Bonding veneers using only heat and pressure : focus on bending and shear strength
Abstract : A compact laminated board can be obtained by pressing layers of veneers with no other material or substance placed between them. The process does not require the use of steam pretreatment, surface activation methods, a gastight press, friction or adhesives. It strictly involves the heat and the pressure induced by the press in the veneers. READ MORE
