Wood cell wall ultrastructure The key to understanding wood properties and behaviour
- Materials Science
- 2019
In the last 100 years, major advances have been made in understanding wood cell wall ultrastructure in tracheids, fibres, vessels and parenchyma and its relationship with xylem function and wood…
RADIAL VARIATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PINE WOOD (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) DETERMINED UPON TENSILE STRESS
- Materials Science
- 2013
Specific parameters of strength and modulus of elasticity of pine wood ( Pinus sylvestris L.), were measured upon tensile stress of microtome samples of early and latewood along the grains as a…
Using MFA and density values of White Spruce to develop a prediction model for wood static bending strength
- Materials Science
- 2009
This study concentrates on establishing a prediction model for the MOE of tree species White Spruce by analysing the MFA and density values of about 159 samples. Clear specimens measuring 25.4 mm X…
Microfibril Angle: Measurement, Variation and Relationships – A Review
- Materials Science
- 2008
MFA, in combination with basic density, shows a strong relationship to longitudinal modulus of elasticity, and to longitudinal shrinkage, which are the main reasons for interest in this cell wall property in conifers.
Microfibril orientation across the secondary cell wall of Radiata pine tracheids
- Materials ScienceTrees
- 2005
Variations in orientation for the S1, S2 and S3 layers were determined for radial and tangential cell walls from the juvenile and mature earlywood at the base of the stem and at 5 m height.
