Nondestructive Bending Strength Evaluation of Woodceramics Made from Woody Part of Broussonetia Kazinoki Sieb. - Effect of Resin Impregnation Ratio -

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique method using a resonance frequency mode was carried out for woodceramics made by different phenol resin impregnation ratios (40, 50, 60, 70%) for Broussonetia Kazinoki Sieb. Dynamic modulus of elasticity increased with increasing resin impregnation ratios. There was a close relationship between dynamic modulus of elasticity and static bending modulus of elasticity and between dynamic modulus of elasticity and MOR and between static bending modulus of elasticity and MOR. Therefore, the dynamic modulus of elasticity using resonance frequency mode is useful as a nondestructive evaluation method for predicting the MOR of woodceramics made by different impregnation ratios.

우리나라의 중요한 조림 수종 중에서 낙엽송을 대상으로 하여, 간벌실시에 따른 물리·역학적 성질을 비교 평가함으로써 간벌 실시가 목재의 재질에 미치는 영향과 양질재 생산 및 목재의 효율적 이용을 위한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 간벌정도에 따른 시료는 무간벌, 약도간벌, 강도간벌을 실시한 광릉시험림에서 벌채하여 사용하였다. 간벌 정도에 따른 평균 만재율은 무간벌 약도간벌 >강도간벌의 경향이었고 간벌 정도에 따른 평균 압축강도는 무간벌 > 약도간벌 >강도간벌의 경향이었다. 이러한 결과로 낙엽송은 간벌에 의하여 휨 및 종압축강도가 감소하는 경향이었다.

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Bending Strength and Hardness of Wood

Heat treatment improves dimensional stability and sound absorption properties of wood. However, me- chanical properties of wood can be deteriorated during the heat treatment. The effect of heat treatment on the bending strength and hardness of wood for Korean paulownia, Pinus densiflora, Lidiodendron tuli- pifera and Betula costata were measured. The heat treatment temperature has been investigated at 175°C and 200°C, respectively. The results showed that the weight and density of wood decreased after heat treatment. It was found that the density by heat treatment was lower at 200°C than that at 175°C. And, MOE increased with the reduced density. On the contrary, MOR and hardness decreased. In all conditions, It was found that there was a high correlation of 1% level between bending modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture.

목재의 역학적 특성은 생육지의 토양조건과 기후변화 등의 환경적 요인에 의해 주로 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 남부지역에 많이 분포하고 있는 삼나무에 대하여 경남, 전남, 제주 세 지역 간, 그리고 해당 임분의 생육특성에 따른 목재의 역학적 특성차이를 각각 비교분석하고자 하였다. 각 지역별 표준지의 삼나무 임분 특성과 목재의 역학적 특성을 비교분석한 결과, 휨강도, 종압축강도, 전단강도는 수고 및 입목본수/ha와 정의 상관관계가 있었으나, 흉고직경, 표고 및 토양배수와는 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 우리나라 남부지역에 위치한 삼나무는 해당임지의 임분 특성과 역학적 특성 간에 밀접한 상관관계를 보이고 있으므로 본 연구의 결과는 고품질 목재생산을 위한 적절한 시업체계와 육림방법을 제시하는데 기초자료로서 그 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다. 【Mechanical properties of woods are easily affected by the differences of site environment such as soil and climate changes. In this study, the relationship between mechanical properties and growth factors for Cryptomeria japonica stands in Jeollanam-do Province, Gyeongsangnam-do Province and Je-ju island was analyzed. From these plot data, bending strength, compressive strength, and shear strength were analyzed by Duncans new multiple range test. The results of Duncans new multiple range test analysis indicated that bending strength, compression strength, and shear strength were positively related to tree mean height, and stem number per ha, respectively, while they were inversely proportional to DBH (diameter at breast height), elevation, and soil drainage. As a result of this study, there are high correlations between mechanical properties of wood and stand characteristics of Cryptomeria japonica by the region, this findings are very useful to apply the silvicultural treatment system to produce high quality timber as a basic data on this species (distributed in southern region of Korea).】

The Effect of Soaking and Fumigation Treatments on Bending Properties and Hardness of Pine Wilt Disease Infected Wood

This study used pine wilt disease damaged trees as raw materials. The damaged woods were subjected to soaking treatment using wood vinegar, nematicide and sea water, fumigated treatment using fumigation, and the bending strength and hardness of the timber were measured at different points of time after the treatment. In soaking treatment, the highest bending strength was obtained from wood vinegar (100 fold dilution)-soaked specimens of Pinus densiflora and the nematicide-soaked specimens of Pinus thunbergii. The highest hardness in cross section was gained from the nematicide-soaked specimens of Pinus densiflora and Pinus thunbergii, the highest hardness in radial section was obtained from the nematicide-soaked specimens of Pinus densiflora and wood vinegar (100 fold dilution)-soaked specimens of Pinus thunbergii, and the highest hardness in tangential section was obtained from the nematicide-soaked specimens of Pinus densiflora and Pinus thunbergii, and there were not significantly different among the treatments. When fumigated treatment was applied, bending strength, hardness was somewhat lower in the control but were not significantly different between the treatments.

These results brought a conclusion that wood of Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii in the southern region could be useful forest resources for timber production.

Effects of Heating Temperature and Time on the Mechanical Properties of Heat-Treated Woods

This study was performed to investigate the effects of heat treatment the on mechanical properties of two species of wood under different heating conditions including at 180°C for 12 h and 24 h, and at 210°C for 3 h and 6 h. Two species of wood, Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi, were exposed to different heat treatments to assess the effects on the volume change, bending properties in static and dynamic mode and compressive strength. The results showed heat treatment caused significant changes in mechanical properties such as the static and dynamic moduli of elasticity (MOEd and MOEs), and the modulus of rupture (MOR). The volume of the wood after heat treatment decreased as the heating temperature and time were increased. The bending strength performance of the wood after heat treatment decreased as the heating temperature and time were increased. The effect of heat treatment at a high temperature on the bending MOR was greater in both species than that for a long time. However, the compressive strengths of all the heat-treated samples were higher than the control sample. Furthermore, highly significant correlations between MOEd and MOR, and MOEs and MOR were found for all heating conditions.

Nondestructive Bending Strength Evaluation of Ceramics Made from Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Particle Boards - Effect of Resin Impregnation Ratio -

ABSTRACT Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method by using a resonance frequency mode was carried out for ceramics made from particle boards with different phenol resin impregnation ratios (30, 40, 50, 60%) at carbonizing temperature of 800℃. The material for ceramics was Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens board. Dynamic modulus of elasticity in-creased with increasing impregnation ratio. There was a close relationship of dynamic modulus of elasticity and static bending modulus of elasticity to modulus of rupture (MOR). However, the result indicated that correlation coefficientis higher in dynamic modulus of elasticity to MOR than that in static modulus of elasticity to MOR. Therefore, thedynamic modulus of elasticity using resonance frequency by free vibration mode is more useful as a nondestructive evaluation method for predicting the MOR of ceramics made from Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens particle boards by different phenol resin impregnation ratios.Keywords : Nondestructive evaluation (NDE), ㅊarbonizing temperature, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, Resonance frequency, MOR
