Goals | Manufacturing and rational usage of wood and wood based products are depend on physical properties of wood. The goals of this course are to develop a basic understanding of the basic anatomy of wood, physical and mechanical properties, drying-steaming and, impregnation techniques of wood, the influence of cell structure variation on wood properties, and the degree to which this variability can controlled by growing conditions, the relationships between raw material quality and final products quality. The course also provides an appropriate introduction to wood products for students of materials science and construction materials. |
Course Content | • Occurring of wood, developing in length and breadth in wood, ultra-microscopic structure of cell wall in a ripe cell, cell tissue elements of softwoods and hardwoods trees. • Macroscopic structure and properties of tree, wood defects (about anatomy) physical structure and properties of wood materials, relation between wood and water, specific gravity, thermo, electrical and acoustic properties. • Mechanical properties of wood materials. • Drying and conserving of wood materials. Wood material technology with yield layer, covering, plywood, composite wood product such as fiberboard and chipboard and their usage. • The appreciation students completed this course gain to comprehensive knowledge and skill about wood materials • Put in use knowledge/skill acquired during the course in work environment effectively. |
Learning Outcomes |
- To learn occurring of wood - To learn mechanical properties of wood materials - To learn macroscopic structure and properties of tree, - To learn drying and conserving of wood materials. - Put in use knowledge/skill acquired during the course in work environment effectively. |
