Fitting Weibull and Lognormal Distributions to Medium-density Fiberboard Fiber and Wood Particle Length
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fiber lengths were analyzed for random samples of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) fibers and wood particles taken from eleven different populations. For six of the samples, the lognormal distribution fit the data, while the Weibull distribution did not. For three of the samples, the Weibull fit the data, while the lognormal did not. For two of the samples, both the lognormal and Weibull fit the data. Conclusions were based on hypothesis tests imposing a bound of 0.05 on the probability of making a Type I error for each test. Tests were based on large sample 95% nonparametric simultaneous confidence bands for the underlying cumulative distribution functions of the data.

Characterizing wood fiber and particle length with a mixture distribution and a segmented distribution
The length data from 12 samples of wood fibers and particles were described using lognormal and Weibull distributions. While both distributions fitted the middle range of the data well, the lognormal distribution provided a closer fit for short fibers and particles and the Weibull distribution was more appropriate for long ones. A mixture of the lognormal and Weibull distributions was developed...
متن کاملEffect of Nanosilver on the Rate of Heat Transfer to the Core of the Medium Density Fiberboard Mat
Effect of nanosilver (NS) on the heat-transferring rate to the core section of medium density fiberboard (MDF) mat was studied here. A 400 ppm aqueous nanosilver suspension was used at three consumption levels of 100, 150, and 200 mL/kg, based on the weight of dry wood fibers; the results were then compared with the control MDF panels. The size range of nanosilver was 30-80 nm. Results showed t...

متن کاملEffect of Fiber Surface and Mechanical Properties on the Stiffness and Strength of Medium- Density Fiberboard
The mechanical properties of wood-based composites are dependent upon the properties of the wood components (e.g. wood fibers, wood strands) and the manner in which they are combined. The relationship between fiber mechanical properties and fiber-based composites has been discussed in several publications, but is best described in Page et al. (1977). This paper will focus primarily on the influ...
متن کاملHypersensitivity pneumonitis related to medium-density fiberboard.
Pneumonitis due to hypersensitivity to wood fiber is mainly associated with the fungus that colonizes it. We present the case of a male affected with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in which the agent implicated was medium-density fiberboard, an engineered product whose main component is pine wood fiber. The causal agent was identified by means of a specific bronchial provocation test.
