Wood Machining

Beschreibung

Wood as an engineering material can be technically defined"as a hygroscopic, orthotropic, biological, and permeablematerial having extreme chemical diversity and physical complexitywith structures, that vary extensively in their shape, size,properties and function". Therefore, using wood to its bestadvantage and most efficiency in engineering applications, specificcharacteristics or chemical, physical and mechanical propertiesmust be considered. The products are divided into two classes, solid wood and compositewood products. Solid wood includes shipbuilding, bridges, flooring,mine timbers, etc. Composite wood products include insulationboard, plywood, oriented strand board, hardboard and particleboard. In recent years, the machining of wood products has acquired greatimportance due the short supply of wood and increasingenvironmental awareness among users and manufacturers. Theoptimization of the machining process centers around the mechanismof chip formation, tool wear, workpiece surface quality, crackinitiation and propagation of different types of wood. Otherfactors are also humidity, temperature, static preloads, andvibrations that can affect the wood during the machiningprocess. The book provides some fundamentals and recent research advances onmachining wood and wood products.

"This book should be valuable in advanced courses for undergraduateengineering students in courses dealing with wood machining. Itmight also serve as a reference for researchers inside the field ofwood mechanics and wood manufacturing." (International WoodProducts Journal, 1 April 2011)
