Strength class of minor conifer species, as estimated from log acoustic measurements, small-clear data and knowledge of wood property variation
Conference Proceeding
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & McLean, J. P. (2014)
Strength class of minor conifer species, as estimated from log acoustic measurements, small-clear data and knowledge of wood property variation. In K. Schober (Ed.), COST Action FP1004 "Experimental Research with Timber", (214-218
It is well known that wood properties vary from species to species. Additionally, trees grow wood in response to their requirement to grow in a certain environment. Therefore,...
