Strength class of minor conifer species, as estimated from log acoustic measurements, small-clear data and knowledge of wood property variation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & McLean, J. P. (2014, May). Strength class of minor conifer species, as estimated from log acoustic measurements, small-clear data and knowledge of wood property variation. Presented at Experimental Research with Timber: Cost action FP1004

It is well known that wood properties vary from species to species. Additionally, trees grow wood in response to their requirement to grow in a certain environment. Therefore, timber properties also vary by region, by forest practice, and by the chan...

Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D., Popescu, C., Keating, B. A., Popescu, M., & Hill, C. A. S. (2014, March). Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT

The change, over time, in density, longitudinal modulus of elasticity, shear modulus and chemical structure of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) under thermal treatment (110, 120 and 140 C) was evaluated. The determinations of the specific changes were c... Read More about Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT.

Journal Article
Rautkari, L., Honkanen, J., Hill, C. A. S., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Hughes, M. (2014). Mechanical and physical properties of thermally modified Scots pine wood in high pressure reactor under saturated steam at 120, 150 and 180°C. European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 72, 33-41. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00107-013-0749-5

Scots pine sapwood and heartwood were thermally modified under saturated steam at 120, 150 and 180 °C in a high pressure reactor. Mechanical properties such as dynamic and static modulus of elasticity (MOE), static modulus of rupture (MOR), Brinell h...
