ABSTRACT The absence of an established design load constitutes a challenge to the engineering design of classroom furniture. This study developed a methodology for estimating design loads for single user (SU) and multiple user (MU) wooden classroom chair and desk combinations offered to secondary school students in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Service load distribution patterns for the chair and desk members in normal, backward and front-reclining sitting postures were determined for 15 girls and 15 boys using bathroom scales. A T-test was used to compare the significance of the means of the proportions of users’ weights transferred to the chair and the floor. Design loads were 1 kN (SU) and 2.7 kN (MU) for chair and desk configurations, respectively. Each SU and MU leg should be designed to support 35% and 40% of the service loads, respectively. Gender, sitting postures, and chair and desk designs influenced load distribution patterns significantly.

ABSTRACT This study sought to appraise 7-year and 9-year-old Cedrela odorata for pulp and paper making. Sectioning and maceration processes were adopted. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 17.00. Cell characteristics for all ages and tree positions appeared similar but quantitatively, cells in 9-year-old generally exhibited some significant (p < .05) variations. Age and wood position generally had some significant influence on cell characteristics. Fibre lengths were generally short (<1.6 mm or 1600 μm) with variations in fibre morphology being significant axially than radially. In appraising the wood for paper production, derived fibre indices/values viz; Runkel ratio (ranging from 0.19 to 0.28), flexibility coefficient (ranging from 0.78 to 0.83), and slenderness ratio (ranging from 38.98 to 51.72) appeared to provide some positive indications. The species therefore, has potential for pulp and paper production, but further studies on its chemical consumption levels and other properties need to be ascertained towards a well-informed decision.

ABSTRACT Assessing intrinsic wood qualities such as modulus of elasticity and internal decay in trees and logs can be challenging. However, acoustic technologies have been investigated for a possible solution. This paper reviews available literature on non-destructive acoustic methods for assessing wood quality, both in tree and log form. The paper further reviews the effects of silvicultural practices (such as thinning and pruning) on wood quality assessed by non-destructive acoustic methods. We documented some of the benefits of application of non-destructive acoustic methods on wood quality of trees and logs. The acoustic velocity of a tree (VT) or log (VL) of the propagated waves and wood density can be used to determine the Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (MOEd). Thinning was reported to affect VT/VL and MOEd negatively. Acoustic tomography methods were equally found to have good accuracy in detecting the location and extent of wood decay in standing trees and logs.

ABSTRACT The pine needles bio-oil was partially replaced with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin at a rate of up to 40% by weight. The wood adhesive characteristics of a newly produced bio-oil phenol-formaldehyde (BOPF) resin with 10% bio-oil replacements was found to be comparable to those of pure PF resin with similar shear strength. DSC revealed that the curing temperature of 20 wt-% BOPF resin decreased from 95 to 60°C. Thermal degradation of BOPF resins was somewhat lower than that of pure PF resin, according to TGA and DTG data, and was similar in 10 and 20 wt-% BOPF resins. The presence of methylene bridges between phenols shown by FTIR analysis indicated that the wood adhesive had a good quality. According to SEM examination, the 10 and 20% BOPF resins showed a flat microstructure comparable to the pure PF resin.

ABSTRACT The prospect of manufacturing durable structural laminated wood with copper and boron-based preservative-impregnated Eucalyptus grandis wood was previously investigated but revealed adhesive-bond performance below standard requirements. In this study, bonding process factors, viz. mechanical pretreatment (surface planing) and bonding pressure in conjunction with wood preservative and adhesive compatibility for improved bond performance in preservative-treated E. grandis laminates were investigated. The results obtained showed significant and satisfactory improvement in shear strength and delamination resistance of E. grandis laminates based on EN 14080:2013 [Timber structures — Glued laminated timber and glued solid timber — Requirements, BSI Stand. Publ. (2014) 1–110] requirements. The suitability of polyurethane, melamine-urea-formaldehyde, and phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesives for bonding copper azole (CA) and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT)-impregnated E. grandis wood was established. Satisfactory pathways, including greener process routes for manufacturing CA and DOT-impregnated E. grandis laminates for structural applications in tropical and subtropical climes were achieved. The established processes could be readily adopted industrially to enhance the global implementation of solid wood composites and promote hardwood bonding.
以前研究过用铜和硼基防腐剂浸渍的桉树木材制造耐用结构层压木材的前景，但发现胶合性能低于标准要求。在本研究中，研究了粘合过程因素，即机械预处理(表面刨平)和粘合压力，以及木材防腐剂和粘合剂的相容性，以改善防腐处理的大叶青层压板的粘合性能。结果表明，根据EN 14080:2013[木结构-胶合层压木材和胶合实木-要求，BSI Stand]， E. grandis层压板在抗剪强度和抗分层性方面有了显著而令人满意的改善。出版。(2014) 1-110]要求。研究了聚氨酯、三聚氰胺-脲醛和苯酚-间苯二酚-甲醛三种胶粘剂对唑铜(CA)和四水合辛硼酸二钠(DOT)浸渍木的粘接性能。令人满意的途径，包括制造用于热带和亚热带气候的结构应用的CA和dot浸渍E. grandis层压板的绿色工艺路线。建立的工艺可以很容易地在工业上采用，以加强全球实木复合材料的实施，促进硬木粘合。

ABSTRACT A corn flour- lignin-glyoxal (CLG) green wood adhesive was prepared by esterification and polyisocyanate prepolymer crosslinking of corn flour. At first corn flour was esterified by maleic anhydride and 10% polyisocyanate was added to it. The modified corn flour was then added at various contents (2, 4 and 6% on resin solids) to phenolated lignin and glyoxal solution to obtain the CLG resin. According to the FTIR spectra, the ester groups (-C=O) at 1730 cm-1 increased due to the esterification of corn flour by maleic anhydride. The addition of the modified corn flour significantly increased the viscosity and solid content and accelerated the gelation time of CLG resins. DSC analysis indicated that increasing the modified corn flour continuously decreases the gel onset and curing temperatures of the resin. Greater mechanical strength and higher dimensional stability of panels bonded with CLG resins can be obtained by modification of corn flour.

ABSTRACT The new drive for circular saw cutting unit, implementing linear induction motor (LIM), was suggested. The mathematical model for the arc drive of the saw cutting unit was developed, based on the two-dimensional theory. The new technology to improve performance of LIM, driving circular saw, was proposed. According to this technology, thin copper plates are placed on the saw surface, causing a better power factor of such linear induction drive. The series of experiments were conducted. The achieved results show a good match with theoretical calculations, confirming the developed mathematical model. The examined drive with copper-plated disc saw revealed significant improvements to the electrical and mechanical characteristics of such combined linear induction drive.

ABSTRACT This paper characterizes Erythrina fusca Lour. in terms of anatomical, morphological and chemical properties to evaluate its efficacy as a pulping raw material. It is characterized with 47.0% α-cellulose and 28.8% lignin content with a fibre length of 1.11 mm. The vessels (pores) are distinct and form porous semi-rings, with a row of larger pores at the beginning of the growth layer, which facilitate penetration of chemicals during the cooking phase of pulping. Kraft pulping of E. fusca was carried out by varying cooking temperature, time and alkali charge. At optimum condition of 14% active alkali for 2 h of cooking at 170°C, pulp yield was 40% with kappa number of 26.6. The papermaking properties were also evaluated and showed tensile index of 52.4 N m g−1 with tear index of6.8 mN m2 g−1 at oSR of 57. This species can be used as a raw material for writing and printing grade pulp.
摘要本文研究了红藓属植物的特性。从解剖学、形态学和化学性质等方面评价其作为制浆原料的功效。其α-纤维素含量为47.0%，木质素含量为28.8%，纤维长度为1.11 mm。血管(孔隙)明显，形成多孔半环，在生长层的开始有一排较大的孔隙，这有利于在制浆蒸煮阶段化学物质的渗透。通过改变蒸煮温度、蒸煮时间和加碱量，对褐煤进行硫酸盐制浆。在170℃、活性碱含量为14%、蒸煮2 h的最佳条件下，纸浆得率为40%，kappa值为26.6。在oSR为57时，拉伸指数为52.4 N m2 g−1，撕裂指数为6.8 mN m2 g−1。本种可作为书写和印刷级纸浆的原料。
