Journal Article
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2019). The Mechanical and Resonance Assessment of Large Clear Samples of UK-Grown Beech Wood. Pro Ligno, 15(4), 32-39

The paper presents the results of non-destructive longitudinal resonance (impulse excitation technique), and mechanical flexural testing, of a batch of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.), grown in the United Kingdom. The material was largely fr... Read More about The Mechanical and Resonance Assessment of Large Clear Samples of UK-Grown Beech Wood.

Comparing usefulness of acoustic measurements on standing trees for segregation by timber stiffness. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gil-Moreno, D., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2015, September). Comparing usefulness of acoustic measurements on standing trees for segregation by timber stiffness. Presented at 19th International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Wood Symposium, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil

The paper presents a comparison of standard procedures to measure acoustic stiffness of standing trees and logs. The aim is to see how useful they are for predicting the properties of dry, sawn, timber for the purposes of resource segregation in indu...

Thesis
Drewett, T. A. The growth and quality of UK grown Douglas-fir. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9163

Timber is a local, sustainable and valuable building material, but it is highly variable compared to other building materials (e.g. concrete, steel). The quality of wood is its suitability for the end-user, in this case the construction industry (via... Read More about The growth and quality of UK grown Douglas-fir.
