研究了杨木线性振动摩擦焊接的干剪切强度、湿剪切强度和木破率。为提高杨木摩擦焊接的湿剪切强度与木破率,采用表面氧化、表面磺化以及表面涂覆的方式处理杨木板材,再经线性振动摩擦焊接进行黏合,使用万能力学试验机测得其剪切强度,对比表面处理前后剪切强度的变化,并利用傅里叶红外光谱分析了其表面处理前后基材和摩擦焊接层的化学基团变化情况,对胶合性能的变化做出解释。研究结果表明:杨木经过表面氧化磺化涂覆醋酸锌处理后,摩擦焊接层的干剪切强度为5.41 MPa,木破率为63%,与未处理的杨木相比,分别提高了48.22%和96.88%;湿剪切强度从0提高到1.34 MPa;摩擦焊接时厚度损失减少了46.4%。杨木分别经过表面氧化和表面磺化处理后,摩擦焊接层的干剪切强度仅为3.45和4.10 MPa,木破率为28%和42%,湿剪切强度为0.76和0.96 MPa。摩擦焊接层的红外光谱分析表明,经表面氧化磺化涂覆醋酸锌处理后,杨木中的纤维素和半纤维素分解,使木质素的相对含量有所增加,且活化了杨木中的—OH,与醋酸锌生成多醚,消耗了亲水性的—OH。     

Influence of welded depth and CuCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> pretreated dowels on wood dowel welding

This study examined the influence of welded depth and CuCl₂ pretreated dowels on wood dowel welding. In untreated group without pretreatment (group A), test results indicated that welded depth 40 mm exhibited higher pullout resistance than the other welded depths. In the same welded depth of 30 mm, specimens with dowels immersed in CuCl₂ solution for 30 min (group B) exhibited the highest pullout resistance than the other specimens. According to the failure behavior, the pullout resistance of group B was considered to be the maximum theory pullout resistance in the welded depth of 30 mm. Weibull distribution could be applied reasonably to analyze pullout resistance of different welded depth. The linear simulation and Eckelman formula could not fit the relation of pullout resistance and welded depth. While the nonlinear simulation of sine function could fit the relation accurately. Based on the Weibull distribution, 95% reliability pullout resistance was calculated. The nonlinear simulation of sine function also existed between 95% reliability pullout resistance and welded depth. The temperature difference of group A-30 and group B was tested to study the reason of different pullout resistance. Both of the two groups, the temperature of point 1 was the highest, and the point 3 was the lowest. The pullout resistance was affected significantly by the temperature of point 2 and 3. For point 1, 260 °C was an excessive temperature, while 224.3 °C was the better choice for welding in this study.

Temperature and density distribution in mechanical vibration wood welding

Nondestructive evaluation of wood joints welded by linear vibration welding was performed with an infrared (IR) thermography technique, which allowed the maximal and average peak temperature profile/distribution to be measured. The density profile/distribution at the joint interface was measured by X-ray microdensitometry. The results show that the width of the welded zone also varies as a function of the maximum temperature reached during welding and that the maximum temperature reached at the ends of the specimens is lower than that obtained in the central part of the specimens. This paper is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Walter Liese on the occasion of his 80th birthday.     

Capacity prediction of welded timber joints

Linear vibration welding of timber structural elements provides new opportunities to potentially achieve structural joints. This paper investigates to which extent welded joints can be considered for load-bearing structural joints. On the basis of a series of experimental and numerical investigations on a series of welded single-lap joints, failure modes were identified, and the associated failure criterion was quantified. A probabilistic method subsequently allowed accurately predicting the capacity of the tested wood welded joints exclusively based on objective input data, including an estimate of the scattering due to the material’s inherent variability.     

End-grain butt joints obtained by friction welding of high density eucalyptus wood

End-grain-to-end-grain welding gave butt joints of good strength with three high density Australian eucalyptus woods, namely Sidney blue gum (Eucalyptus saligna), Spotted gum (Eucalyptus maculata, Corymbia maculata spp.) and Black butt (Eucalyptus pilularis). The absence or limited tendency to defibration in end-grain-to-end-grain welding for wood densities as high as these, around 800–900 kg/m³, indicates that end-grain-to-end-grain welding is possible and yields good joint strengths, but with different appearance of the welded interphase. At anatomical level, three features were noticeable: (1) the paintbrush-like appearance of the cell tips bent so by the frictional movement during welding. This leaves this cell tips free to intertwine with the same one from the surface of the opposite wood piece. (2) The absence of any great amount of molten material between the straight shafts of the parallel bundles of cells, showing that the greater part of the intercellular material has molten and has flowed away from the cells towards the interphase. (3) The amount of molten intercellular material found on the upper surface of the cell tips, giving the joint the appearance of an anatomical fingerjoint.

Analysis of the water vapour sorption isotherms of thermally modified acacia and sesendok

Abstract

Two Malaysian hardwoods, acacia (Acacia mangium) and sesendok (Endospermum malaccense), that had been subjected to oleo-thermal modification were studied to determine their sorption isotherm behaviour using a dynamic vapour sorption apparatus. All the specimens were thermally modified using palm oil at three different temperatures (180, 200 and 220°C) and three different times (1, 2 and 3 h). The results showed that there was a reduction in equilibrium moisture content at each target relative humidity due to the heat treatment, but that the two wood species showed different behaviour in this respect. The adsorption isotherms were analysed using the Hailwood and Horrobin model, with excellent fits to the experimental data. The monolayer water and polylayer water were both reduced at a range of relative humidity values of the treated samples, although behaviour between the two wood species differed. Heat treatment resulted in an increase in hysteresis ratio, which was probably due to the increase in matrix stiffness of the cell walls.     

Production and properties of wood-welded panels made from two Canadian hardwoods

This study examines the suitability of wood welding technology for producing composite panels for furniture applications with two Canadian hardwood species, sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). For each species, twelve 30 × 225 × 300 mm³ panels were manufactured using a panelling machine specifically designed for rotational wood-dowel welding with optimized parameters obtained from a previous study. Six edge-glued panels of the same size were manufactured from each species using a non-structural polyvinyl acetate adhesive and tested for comparative purposes. The experimental programme included three-point bending at 255-mm span and visual inspection of the panels to assess performance at standard moisture conditions and after an ageing cycle with variable relative humidity. Average breaking load of 1.79 and 1.70 kN was obtained at standard moisture conditions for welded panels of yellow birch and sugar maple, respectively. Fractures consistently occurred in the dowel’s cross section, whereas no slippage was observed along the welded interface. Delamination between wood slats occurred after the ageing cycle, but did not affect the bending properties. Results confirm the suitability of wood-dowel welding for producing furniture panelling with Canadian hardwood species. Further research is needed to design panels with a more efficient position and use of welded dowels and with panel product properties that are comparable or superior to those of glued counterparts.     

Cantilever experimental setup for rheological parameter identification in relation to wood drying

Wood exhibits a pronounced time dependent deformation behavior which is usually split into ‘viscoelastic’ creep at constant moisture content (MC) and ‘mechano-sorptive’ creep in varying MC conditions. Experimental determination of model rheological parameters on a material level remains a serious challenge, and diversity of experimental methods makes published results difficult to compare. In this study, a cantilever experimental setup is proposed for creep tests because of its close analogy with the mechanical behavior of wood during drying. Creep measurements were conducted at different load levels (LL) under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Radial specimens of white spruce wood [Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss.] with dimensions of 110 mm in length (R), 25 mm in width (T), and 7 mm in thickness (L) were used. The influence of LL and MC on creep behavior of wood was exhibited. In constant MC conditions, no significant difference was observed between creep of tensile and compressive faces of wood cantilever. For load not greater than 50% of the ultimate load, the material exhibited a linear viscoelastic creep behavior at the three equilibrium moisture contents considered in the study. The mechano-sorptive creep after the first sorption phase was several times greater than creep at constant moisture conditions. Experimental data were fitted with numerical simulation of the global rheological model developed by authors for rheological parameter identification.     

Influence of pretreated wood dowel with CuCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> on temperature distribution of wood dowel rotation welding

This study examined the temperature distribution during rotation welding process using birch (Betula spp.) wood dowel and Chinese larch (Larix gmelinii) substrates. Wood dowels were divided into two categories including an untreated group and a group pretreated with cupric chloride. The mechanics test results indicated that the pullout resistance of the pretreated group with welded time 3 s showed the best performance. As a fitting analyses result, both the untreated group and pretreated group showed a significant nonlinear relationship among temperature, welded depth and welded time. In the untreated group case, a linear regression relationship was found between the highest temperature of the welding interface and the depth. However, two-stage fitting was used to fit the regression for the pretreated group. Compared with the untreated group, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis of the pretreated group welding interface presented two pyrolytic peaks, and it illustrated that the pretreatment promoted the depolymerization and pyrolysis of wood constituents.     

Thermal properties of interior decorating material and the sensation of cold/warm by contact II: the relations among heat flux, temperature change of material, and sensation of cold/warm by contact

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in heat flux and temperature after the subject's palm was in contact with interior decorating materials. The relations among heat flux, temperature, and sensation of cold/warm during contact were studied. Ten men and ten women were selected and introduced to 21 materials for the contact test. They were in contact with the specimens for 30min without seeing them in a climate-controlled room at 25°±1°C and 65% RH. Changes in the heat flux and temperature of the specimens were determined by a heat flux meter. A sensory evaluation test was applied to evaluate the cold-warm contact. Results indicated that the heat flux and temperature increased with increasing time after the subject's palm was in contact with the specimens. The heat flux (Q ₃₀) and temperature (T ₃₀) 30min after the subject's palm contacted the specimens were greater for male subjects than for female subjects. A positive linear regression equation existed between the values for Q₃₀ andT ₃₀, whereas a negative linear regression formula existed the sensation of cold-warm by contact (5) and the values of ln(Q ₁·). Therefore, the sensation of cold/warm by contact could be estimated simply by using the thermal physical properties of the interior decorating materials.Part of this report was presented at the International Conference on Effective Utilization of Plantation Timber, Chi-Tou, Taiwan, ROC, May 1999     

A statistical analysis of the impact of nematode attack symptomatology on the mechanical behaviour of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinus pinaster</Emphasis> Ait. wood

An appraisal was made about the impact of pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Nickle) attack symptomatology on the mechanical behaviour of wood from Pinus Pinaster Ait. Two sets of 200 wood specimens were obtained for the study of both mechanical and other physical properties. The specimens, about half of which presented symptoms of nematode, were obtained from a set of 66 wood planks, cut from an equal number of trees, originating from the Setúbal Peninsula (Portugal). Logistic analysis using symptomatology as a binary dependent variable showed adequacy of models containing compression tension to rupture and number of wood rings per unit radial length for the prediction of nematode attack. Analysis of variance revealed that the presence of the disease symptoms was correlated to static bending rupture, modulus of elasticity, work to maximum bending load, and axial compression rupture, causing their decrease at a significance level of 5%.     

Experimental determination of the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients for wood drying

The knowledge of the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients is required for the characterization of the boundary conditions of the heat and mass transfer equations of a wood drying model based on water potential. A new experimental method for the determination of the convective mass transfer coefficient is presented. This method is based on the measurement of the moisture content, and indirectly the water potential, at the surface of a wood specimen at different drying times. Drying experiments were performed on red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) sapwood from nearly saturated to dry conditions at 56 °C, 52% relative humidity and air velocities of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 m s⁻¹. The results show that the convective mass transfer coefficient is constant until the wood surface moisture content reaches about 80% and then decreases more or less gradually as the moisture content decreases further. The convective mass transfer coefficient increases with air velocity. A regression analysis shows that there is no significant improvement in considering the water potential gradient near the wood surface when the difference in water potential between the surface and the surrounding air (ψ_s − ψ_∞) is used to determine the convective mass flux at the surface. Also, ψ_s − ψ_∞ is more appropriate than the water vapour pressure difference (pv_s − pv_∞) as the responsible driving force of the moisture flux leaving the wood surface. The convective heat transfer coefficient was determined during the same experiments. A plateau is observed at high values of moisture content corresponding to the constant drying rate period.

Chemical investigations on the thermal behaviour of wood during friction welding

Friction welding is a new technology in the course of which wood pieces are subjected to circular or linear movements in a welding machine. The wood in the contact zone is heated and melted. Aiming at a better understanding of the thermal alteration of wood and the formation of a viscous layer acting as adhesive, the thermally changed material was taken to be analysed by chemical and spectroscopic methods. As a manifestation of thermally splitting of wood, the total amount of extractable compounds within the joint material (JM) is higher than that of unaltered spruce. Cellulose was found less altered than the other essential wood components. Polyoses, on the other hand, are less stable under the conditions of friction welding; they are detectable only in small amounts in the altered zone. Lignin also suffers distinct changes as demonstrated by the increase of free phenolic groups and the decrease of the typical bonds between the phenolpropane units. Furan derivatives were detected within the volatiles of the smoke gas, arising mainly from the polyoses. It is obvious that reactions between furfural and other furan derivatives with lignin belong to the main reactions in the friction zone leading to cross-linking of the JM.

Study on the effect of nano-silver impregnation on mechanical properties of heat-treated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Populus nigra</Emphasis>

The present study is aimed at investigating the effect of heat treatment of nano-silver-impregnated Populus nigra on weight loss, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and compression parallel to grain. Specimens were impregnated with 200 PPM water-based solution of nano-silver particles at 2.5 bar in a pressure vessel. For heat treatment, both nano-silver-impregnated and simple specimens were kept for 24 h at 45°C and then further for 24 h at 145°C and finally for 4 h at 185°C. MOR decreased from 529 to 461 kg/cm² in heat-treated specimens; MOE and compression parallel to grain were though improved. Also, comparison between heat-treated and nano-silver-impregnated heat-treated specimens showed that there was a decrease in MOR and MOE in nano-silver-impregnated heat-treated specimens. This shows that nano-silver impregnation facilitates transfer of heat in wood and it may increase the process of degradation and pyrolysis of wood structures in deeper parts of specimens.     

Method for measuring viscoelastic properties of wood under high temperature and high pressure steam conditions

A method for measuring the viscoelastic properties of wood under high temperature and high pressure steam was developed using a testing machine with a built-in autoclave. A newly developed load cell capable of resisting a steam pressure of 16kgf/cm² and a temperature of 200°C was installed in the autoclave. This load cell could be used to determine precisely the loads while steaming at temperatures from 100°C to 200°C. In addition to load-detection problems, it was necessary to avoid the nonuniform thermal degradation of wood during the measurement process under steaming at high temperatures. This nonuniform degradation could be minimized by shortening the time required for the wood to attain thermal equilibrium using specimens conditioned to the fiber saturation point. According to this method, a stress relaxation curve for sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) wood being compressed while steaming at 180°C was obtained. The stress was seen to decrease rapidly with time, reaching almost zero at 3000s.     

Experimental study of the mechanical behaviour of thin slices of maturating green poplar wood using cyclic tensile tests

In this study, longitudinal cyclic tensile tests were performed on green wood samples of Populus cv I4551. Complex mechanical behaviour, such as permanent set in terms of displacement and strain-dependent stiffness, was found. A linear relationship between stiffness and strain enabled each sample to be characterized. A large-scale experimental campaign led to the observation of the evolution of temporal and spatial intra-ring mechanical behaviour of intra-ring sliced specimens during wood maturation and tree gravitropic response. The results showed that tension wood lamellas exhibit strain hardening behaviour whereas normal wood lamellas exhibit strain softening behaviour. Temporal variations in the strain hardening behaviour of tension wood lamellas occurred once cell wall deposition was achieved. Moreover, no correlation was found between infradensity and mechanical behaviour of lamellas. These results show that cells undergo temporal variations in their properties due to a complex maturation process.
