Waves in Wood

چکیده
Elastic waves in materials with cylindrical orthotropy are considered, this being a plausible model for waves in wood. For time-harmonic motions, the problem is reduced to some coupled ordinary differential equations. Methods for solving these equations are discussed. These include the method of Frobenius (power-series exapansions) and the use of Neumann series (expansions in series of Bessel functions of various orders).

The anisotropy of biological composites studied with ultrasonic technique.
One of the most common biological composites is wood material. This natural orthotropic like material is characterized by a high anisotropy determined by the special disposition of the microstructure elements. The anisotropy of wood can be described in various ways using the values of ultrasonic velocities of bulk waves (longitudinal and shear) observed on the velocity surface deduced from the ...
متن کاملUltrasonic Phytosanitation of Pinewood Nematode Infected Wood
Pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) mortality was investigated after ultrasonic treatment at 20 and 40 kHz frequency. Experiments were conducted with infected small wood specimens that were ultrasonically treated for 1, 3, 5 and 7 hours and two variable temperature conditions, namely, a gradually increasing from ambient to a maximum of 70oC and a decreasing from ambient to a minimum ...
متن کاملWaves in Wood: Elastic Waves in Cylindrically Orthotropic Materials
We consider elastic waves in materials with cylindrical orthotropy, this being a plausible model for wood. For time-harmonic motions, the problem is reduced to some coupled ordinary differential equations. Previously, these have been solved using the method of Frobenius (power-series expansions). We use Neumann series (expansions in Bessel functions of various orders), motivated by the known cl...
متن کاملPerformance Characterization of Coatings on Treated-wood
Coating performance is greatly influenced by the properties of the wood substrate. This study was focused on evaluating the performance of coatings on both preservative- and thermally-treated wood. A number of commercially formulated semi-transparent stains Alkyd, Alkyd-Acrylic and PU were applied on four different types of preservative treated and heat-treated wood and their performances were ...
متن کاملLow-cost Ultrasonic Probe to Assess Wood Defects and Parameters
Wood is a natural material that due to its properties has been used for years in many applications such as construction and furniture industries. Being a natural material it is prone to defects which must be detected, preferably during the early stage of product production. Testing of wood pieces, to detect defects or to determine some of its properties, can be made using two types of technique...
