Bending moment resistance of corner joints constructed with spline under diagonal tension and compression

We determined the effects of the penetration depth and spline material and composite material type as well as joining method on bending moment resistance under diagonal compression and tension in common wood panel structures. Composite materials were laminated medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board. Joining methods were buttand miter types. Spline materials were high density fiber board (HDF).The penetration depths of plywood, wood (Carpinus betolus) and splinewere 8, 11 and 14 mm. The results showed that in both diagonal compression and tension, MDF joints are stronger than particle board joints,and the bending moment resistance under compression is higher compared with that in tension. The highest bending moment resistance under tension was shown in MDF, butt joined using plywood spline with 8 mm penetration depth, whereas under compression bending moment resistance was seen in MDF, miter joined with the HDF spline of 14 mm penetration depth.

Comparison of internal bond strength and compression shear strength of wood-based materials

The purpose of this study was to design a compression shear device for easy and fast measurement of the bonded shear strength of wood-based materials to replace the conventional method used to evaluate internal bond strength (IB). To assess the performance of this device, five differently sized specimens, included group I (dimension 5 × 1 cm), group II (5 × 2 cm), group III (5 × 3 cm), group IV (5 × 4 cm), and group V (5 × 5 cm) cut from commercial particleboard and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) (1.8 cm thick) were tested in compression shear. Only group V (5 × 5 cm) was prepared for the IB test. Results indicated that the compression shear strengths (CS) of particleboard and MDF, loaded in the horizontal or the diagonal direction, were greater than the IB, although a significant correlation existed between the two. This finding suggests that the IB of particleboard and MDF could be accurately estimated from the data collected by the CS test.Part of this report was presented at the Third Pacific Rim Bio-based Composites Symposium, Kyoto, December 2–5, 1996     

Adhesive systems used in the European particleboard,MDF and OSB industries*

In this work, the adhesive systems used today in the European industries of particleboard, medium density fibreboard (MDF) and oriented strand board (OSB) are discussed. The structure of particleboard, MDF and OSB markets in Europe in relation to the types of adhesives and product specifications are presented as well. It is noticeable that new markets for wood-based panels like particleboard and fibreboard, known as non-furniture markets, are growing in Europe at a fast rate. It was concluded that most of the technological changes concerning the adhesive systems applied and additives have been realised from the need for niche panel products, the obligation to reach even lower formaldehyde emissions, and the necessity to decrease production costs due to the stringent competition in the market of wood-based panels.     

A multiple criteria analysis of factors affecting markets of engineered wood products with respect to customer preferences: a case study of particleboard and MDF

Of considerable importance and a principal goal in business is the creation of customer satisfaction. Evalu- ation of end user preferences for producers of particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF) requires indices for the assessment of markets and modification of product quality. However, only sporadic research has been carried out in this field. Therefore, the goal of this survey was to identify indices with respect to the points of view of: 1) consumers in order to select particleboard and MDF, 2) suppliers in order to consider production strategies, improve product quality, improve competitive ability of domestic producers in the market and help industry to be more customer oriented. This survey consisted of two stages. In the first stage, factors affecting customer preferences in the selection of particleboard and MDF were determined using a Delphi method, with the help of experts and a group of principal users of these prod- ucts. Then these factors were categorized in three groups: qualitative, technical and technological and marketing factors. Furthermore, questionnaires were prepared and distributed among consumers and responses evaluated and weighted by using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) using expert choice software. Our results show that at both stages, the consistency ratio was less than 0.1, indicating that all results and judgments were stable and acceptable. The results obtained from questionnaires about particleboard rank the priorities for factors in the selection by consumers as follows: nail and screw holding ability, homogeneity in structure, edge strength of panel, durability and bending strength. The most important factors for MDF were machinability of panels, homogeneity in structure, nail and screw holding ability, edge strength of panel, durability and bending strength.

Effects of density profile of MDF on stiffness and strength of nailed joints

Nail-head pull-through, lateral nail resistance, and single shear nailed joint tests were conducted on medium density fiberboard (MDF) with different density profiles, and the relations between the results of these tests and the density profiles of MDF were investigated. The maximum load of nail-head pull-through and the maximum load of nailed joints were little affected by the density profile. However, the ultimate strength of lateral nail resistance, the stiffness, and the yield strength of nailed joints were affected by the density profile of MDF and showed high values when the surface layer of the MDF had high density. It is known that bending performance is also influenced by density profile. Therefore, the stiffness and the yield strength of nailed joints were compared with the bending performance of MDF. The stiffness of nailed joints was positively correlated with the modulus of elasticity (MOE); in the case of CN65 nails, the initial stiffness of joints changed little in response to changes in MOE. The yield strength of nailed joints had a high positive correlation with the modulus of rupture (MOR). The stiffness and the yield strength of nailed joints showed linear relationships with MOE and MOR, respectively.

Development of high-performance UF-bonded reed and wheat straw medium-density fiberboard

Urea formaldehyde resin-bonded reed and wheat straw fiberboards were produced from the fibers made under different steam cooking conditions in refining processes at densities of 500 and 700kg/m³. The effect of steam cooking conditions on the board properties was examined. The steam pressure and cooking time for reed and wheat straws were 0.4MPa/10min and 0.4MPa/5min, respectively, and 0.6MPa/3min and 0.6MPa/10min for both straws. The effect of steam cooking treatment before the fiber refining process on the wettability and weight losses of the straws was also investigated. The results indicated that the mechanical properties and linear expansion of the straw medium-density fiberboard (MDF) were improved with increasing steam cooking pressure and time during the refining process, whereas the thickness swelling (TS) did not vary much. The wettability of the straws was improved by cooking treatment. The steam cooking conditions had little effect on the wettability of the straw surfaces. For reed and wheat straws, the weight losses increased with increasing steam pressure and cooking time. In addition, it was found that the properties of MDF were significantly higher than those of particleboard, especially the internal bond (IB), where the IB values of MDF were more than 10 times higher than those of particleboard. All the properties of the straw MDF, except the TS of wheat board, can meet the requirement of JIS fiberboard standard. The high performances of MDF could be due to the improved wettability and the removal of extractives during the refining process.     

Effect of end connections on mid-span load capacity of laminated particleboard bookshelves

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of joints on the mid-span load capacity of bookshelves made from laminated particleboard. Twenty types of joints were selected based on their popularity in the cabinet-making industry. Results showed that highest mid-span load capacities were obtained with glued groove joints that included glued wooden dowels. Overall, highest mid-span load capacities were obtained with fixed shelf-joint constructions, whereas lower capacities were obtained with adjustable constructions. Based on its high-load capacity and ease of construction, the spline joint appears best-suited for use by most craftsmen. Statistical lower tolerance limits were used to take capacity variability into account for design purposes. The 75% confidence|75% proportion limits for the glued wood spline and glued fiberboard spline joints were 94% and 93% of average, respectively.     

刨花板垂直平面压缩流变性能研究Ⅰ

就基材而言,刨花板的贴面过程可看作是一压缩流变过程。本文采用压缩流变方法,研究刨花板垂直平面压缩时的行为,为控制贴面刨花板的厚度偏差提供理论依据。由于各流变参数在不同应力阶段有着不同的表现形式,在压缩应力范围内(1—12N/mm~2),会出现四种不同的蠕变-回复曲线。统计分析表明:瞬间弹性变形的偏差较小,且较稳定,而瞬间塑性变形的偏差较大,并随压力的增高而增大;依赖于时间的塑性变形的偏差随压缩应力增加而增加,并和推迟弹性变形偏差一样,随蠕变时间的延长而增加;由瞬间塑性变形和依赖于时间的塑性变形所决定的厚度损失,其偏差的变化规律和它们各自的变化规律一致。由于刨花板在制造过程中,木材刨花中的细胞腔和其它空隙多少已被压缩或压实,故各压缩流变参数值均小于对应的木材压缩流变参数值。     

Veneer strand flanged I-beam with MDF or particleboard as web material IV: Effect of web material types and flange density on the basic properties

The balance of strength between the flange and web parts of veneer strand flanged I-beam was investigated by the following methods: (1) use of different web material types, such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), particleboard (PB), and medium density fiberboard (MDF), that have different strength properties; and (2) fabrication of I-beams with low-density flanges using low-density strands with PB web material. Replacing PB or MDF with plywood showed slight significant improvement in the modulus of rupture but not in the modulus of elasticity of the entire I-beam. However, PB and MDF showed competent performance in comparison with OSB, thus strengthening the promising future of the use of PB or MDF as web material to fabricate I-beams. Hot-pressing conditions used for I-beam production exerted slightly adverse effects on the bending properties of PB, but not on MDF, OSB, and plywood web materials. The flange density of 0.60 g/cm³ was considered to be the lower limit that provides I-beams with balanced mechanical properties and dimensional stability.

Fatigue in wood-based panels. Part 2: property changes during fatigue cycling of OSB, chipboard and MDF

Wood-based panels are viscoelastic so when a load (stress) is applied to them there is a time lag before a deflection (strain) is produced, which results in hysteresis (a loss of energy). The capture of stress versus strain hysteresis loops is a non-interruptive method of monitoring the damage produced during fatigue testing. Hysteresis loops were captured throughout the flexural fatigue testing of OSB, chipboard and MDF in four-point bending allowing the development of fatigue damage to be followed. The MDF tested had a greater mean bending strength than the OSB and chipboard. When stresses were applied to the materials as a percentage of their bending strengths, the stresses applied to the MDF samples were larger than those applied to the OSB and chipboard samples. As a result the microstrains were greater for MDF than for the chipboard and OSB. The OSB was stiffer than the chipboard and MDF, which were both of similar stiffness. The information gained from the hysteresis loops indicates that the OSB, chipboard and MDF all had fatigue limits just below 20% of their bending strengths. The fatigue limit for the MDF is likely to be slightly lower than for the chipboard and the OSB.

Mechanical and physical screw withdrawal properties behavior of agglomerated panels reinforced with coir and pejibaye fibers

The screw withdrawal resistance and the mechanical behavior of agglomerated panels reinforced with coir and pejibaye fibers were evaluated using through and non-through screw withdrawal tests. Widespread commercially materials, such as Pinus solid wood, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) and plywood, were also tested in order to compare the behavior and results obtained with the lignocellulosic-reinforced agglomerated panels. Among the conventional materials tested, the highest maximum withdrawal load/thickness ratio was measured in solid wood. Panels reinforced with natural fibers showed lower withdrawal resistance than conventional materials. However, panels reinforced with coir fibers reached about 74% of the maximum strength achieved by MDF samples. Panels reinforced with pejibaye showed the worst mechanical performance. Hybridization between pejibaye and coir fibers resulted, however, in a performance improvement of approximately 50% in the maximum withdrawal load comparing with panels reinforced only with pejibaye fibers. The behavior along screw withdrawal was analyzed and could be split into four different steps. Each of these steps was correlated to the screw withdrawal rate, and also with the interactions between the material and the screw. The mechanisms involved in each step are presented and discussed.     

Influence of Raw Material and Mat-forming on Physical-mechanical Properties of Panels

China is one of the major production countries forwood-based panel products, and its production wasranked in the second place in the world in 2003. Onthe other hand, however, China is also a country withshortage of forest resources. As the main raw material,wood supply is becoming a serious problem with thefast growing of panel production. Fortunately, thereare plenty of agricultural residues in China, and thisgives the possibility to use agri-based fibers instead ofwood. Many wood-based pane…
