Changes of physical and chemical properties, mass loss and susceptibility of oak wood to decay caused by Basidiomycetes fungi were assessed after wood samples had been taken out of the sea within the framework of MACHU project. Test samples of oak wood of the dimensions of 250 × 10 × 10 mm were placed in coastal waters of the Baltic Sea at the area of medieval seaport in Puck and in waters of the...
This work deals with decay resistance and selected physical and mechanical properties of wooden composites (WCs) prepared from 3.6 mm thick three-layer beech plywood and 0.6 mm thick decorative surface veneers of selected exotic (aningr´e, bubinga, iroko, khaya, padouk, sapelli, weng´e) and domestic (beech, European oak, sweet chestnut, walnut) wood species. Joining of veneers in the plywood and then...
A comprehensive analysis has been made of the mechanical properties and density of 100 timber species. The correlation between the mechanical properties and wood density has been approximated by a power function type y = aρn. No functional relation has been found between the parameters describing mechanical properties of the cell wall and the wood density. The values of these parameters show great...
Different method for bone quality assay: bone strength and elasticity, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for estimation of mineral/organic matrix ratio and chemical composition of ash in bones of chickens, were used. Values of estimated indices are in clearly relation to kind of bones. In young chickens, the strength and elasticity parameters were significant lower in femur as in tibia. Presented...
The objective of investigations was to determine rigidity and strength of temporary joints applied in cabinet furniture. In particular, the authors intended to determine the distribution of ordinary stresses in wood, metal and plastic connections of temporary joints and in parts of boards in direct contact with these fastenings. The performed laboratory investigations and numerical calculations showed...
