The gypsy composite ceiling of the sisal fibre amplifier is a potential environmentally friendly alternative replacing the commercial gyssum without fiber or a gypsy sum reinforcing fiber synthesis. In this study, manufactured a gypsy composite ceiling of a Sumbawa sisal fiber with a faction composition of the volume of 65% of a gypsy, cement 29% and sisal fiber 6%. The direction of fiber is variated with four conditions namely continuous fibre (SC) fiber woven (SW), discontinuous fibre (SDC) and hybrid fiber (SH). As a comparison of the use of Gypsy board without fiber with a fraction of the volume of a gypsy 65% and cement 35%. Then carried out physical testing (density test and water absorption) and mechanical testing of broken forces (modulus of rupture/MOR) and bending strength (modulus of elasticity/MOE). The results of physical testing showed an increase in the the density of a gypsy board of the 1.17 g/cm3 to ± 1.71 g/cm3 after reinforced fiber and absorbent water ± 42.76% for all fiber board. For the mechanical properties of MOR and MOE the highest value is produced by specimen with a directional continuous fiber direction (SC) of 10.58 MPa and 3890.6 MPa. And the lowest is owned specimen with a random discontinuous fiber direction (SDC) of 5.05 MPa and 1530.2 MPa. However, the value of fracture and bending of the SDC specimen is still higher than the commercial gypsy board without fiber. Feasibility analysis is performed by comparing the physical and mechanical properties of JIS A 5417-1992 and ISO 8336-2017 standards.

Utilisation of forest plantation species such as Acacia hybrid has been used in wood-based industry as an alternative to solid wood that was usually attained from natural forest. While, the under-utilised species such as Mangifera sp. is not often been used as raw material for wood products, in this study, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has been produced from Acacia hybrid and Mangifera sp. The physical and mechanical properties of LVL were determined and compared. For physical testing, the range value of moisture content was 9.41% to 14.56%, Density was 487.90 kg/m3 to 699.10 kg/m3, thickness swelling was between 0.20% to 6.05%, water absorption between 32.71% to 91.25%, and rate of delamination from 0% to 100%. Mangifera sp. LVL has higher moisture content, rate of delamination, and water absorbency. In mechanical testing, it is been found that Acacia hybrid LVL has overall higher strength compared to Mangifera sp. LVL, in terms of static bending strength (MOR and MOE), shear strength, and compression strength. Range of value for MOR was between 10.27 N/mm2 to 129.99 N/mm2, MOE between 1138 N/mm2 to 16472.93 N/mm2, shear strength between 0.43 N/mm2 to 3.40 N/mm2, and compression between 139.45 N/mm2 to 6749.74 N/mm2. For physical testing, the overall result of p-value for moisture content, water absorption, and delamination were significant at p ≤ 0.05, while density and thickness swelling were not significant at p ≥ 0.05. For overall result, the p-value for static bending strength (MOR and MOE) was significant at p ≤ 0.05 while for shear strength and compression strength were not significant at p ≥ 0.05.

The study was carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of composite lumber made from cassava (Mahinot esculenta Crantz) and bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) in different ratios which is 100% cassava with 0% bamboo, 75% cassava with 25% bamboo, 50% cassava with 50% bamboo, 25% cassava with 75% bamboo and 0% cassava with 100% bamboo. The tests samples for determining the strength properties were divided into two categories namely mechanical testing and physical testing. Basic density of the samples was carried out for physical testing. The lowest basic density was in samples with 100% cassava which is 0.49 g/cm3 and highest in samples with 100% bamboo which is 0.68 g/cm3 . Two tests for the mechanical testing are bending test and compression test. In bending test, modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) were both highest for samples with 100% bamboo which the reading of MOE was 16794.03 N/mm2 and 122.52 N/mm2 for MOR. Similar to the bending test, compression test is the highest for the samples with 100% bamboo which are 65.58 N/mm2 . From statistical analysis, the basic density, static bending can compression strength give significant value at 95% confidence interval.

This study investigated the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo hybrid laminate boards (BHLB) in various fiber directions as a potential wood-replacement structural material. This study used dry bamboo (Gigantochloa apus) processed into thin strips with a thickness of 4 mm and falcata veneer (Paraserianthes falcataria). The BHLB were arranged based on different fiber directions (i.e., perpendicular and parallel) in cold pressing (30 min; 22.2 kgf/cm2) and hot pressing (6 min; 15 kg/cm2). The adhesive used was urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin (glue spread rate of 250 g/m2 and inter veneer 170 g/m2). Physical and mechanical properties were observed to validate the feasibility of preparing BHLB from bamboo strips and falcata veneers. The results showed that the arrangement of the fiber direction affects dimensional stability, MOE (modulus of elasticity), MOR (modulus of rupture), shear strength, and screw withdrawal strength. Falcata veneer as the board core material resulted in lower density, low dimensional stability, and higher water absorption. However, the mechanical properties were not much different and fulfilled the standard for structural use. This study concludes that bamboo can be used for making composite BHLB as an alternative to wood-based composites for structural use.

The purpose of this study was to determine some physical and mechanical properties of sandwich panels manufactured from the core of Paulownia wood and surfaces of multilayer of fiberglass and resins. Paulownia was selected among Hardwoods because of its s low density (0.26 g/cm3) and high strength/weight ratio. Eight treatments were used for experiments: Two kinds of fiberglass (needle and combination of the needle and curtain type), two various resins (polyester and epoxy) and two core thicknesses (9mm and 19mm). Physical properties including density, resistance to water absorption, Dimensional stability, and Mechanical Properties such as internal bonding, compressive and bending strength of panels were measured following ASTM Standard. The results indicated that panels with 19 mm thick core had lower density (0.5g/ cm3) compared to the 9mm thick panels (0.7g/cm3). Bigger volume of wood in the core of panels with higher thickness was the main reason of this result. The experimental results showed that thickness of wood was effective on the modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and compressive strength, significantly. Epoxy resin presented higher internal bond compared to the polyester resin. The two kind of fiberglass (needle one and the combination of needle and curtain type) didn’t have noticeable differences on mechanical properties. It also was found that Paulownia is a promising species for manufacturing sandwich panel.

Abstract Wood samples of Parkinsonia aculeata (L.) were collected from Al bohaira Gardens of Al Fashir Town (the capital of North Darfur State, Western Sudan) where they were planted as architectural landscape trees and studied to determine their physical and mechanical properties as potential wood species for structural and furniture purposes. Moisture content, wood density (basic and oven-dry), as well as radial and tangential shrinkage were determined. The mechanical properties studied included static bending strength, compression strength parallel to the grain, the modulus of elasticity (MOE), the modulus of rupture (MOR), and the maximum crushing strength. The obtained results were compared with those of the well-known dominant small hardwood tree in the same area (Boscia senegalensis ). The wood of P. aculeata has shown medium oven-dry density (534.0 kg m-3) with reasonable bark-to-wood and shrinkage ratio. Due to the acceptable bending and compression strength results, P. aculeata wood can be considered as a suitable wood for interior design and decoration work as well as its suitability for indoor furniture.

The results of the research of structure and properties of a composite compact from 13 Cr – 2 Мо and BN powders depending on the concentration of boron nitride are provided. It is shown that adding boron nitride in an amount of more than 2% by weight of the charge mixture leads to the formation of extended grain boundary porosity and finely dispersed BN layers in the structure, which provides a high level of wearing properties of the material. The effect of boron nitride concentration on physical and mechanical properties is determined. It was found that the introduction of a small amount of BN (up to 2 % by weight) into the compacts leads to an increase in plasticity, bending strength, and toughness by reducing the friction forces between the metal powder particles during pressing and a more complete grain boundary diffusion process during sintering. The formation of a regulated structure-phase composition of powder compacts of 13 Cr – 2 Mо – BN when the content of boron nitride changes in them allows us to provide the specified physical and mechanical properties in a wide range. The obtained results of studies of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the developed material allow us to reasonably choose the necessary composition of the powder compact for sealing structures of the flow part of steam turbines, depending on their operating conditions.

The potential of producing eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, high-density fiberboard (HDF) panels from hardwood fibers bonded with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin and a novel ammonium lignosulfonate (ALS) is investigated in this paper. HDF panels were fabricated in the laboratory by applying a very low UF gluing factor (3%) and ALS content varying from 6% to 10% (based on the dry fibers). The physical and mechanical properties of the fiberboards, such as water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), modulus of elasticity (MOE), bending strength (MOR), internal bond strength (IB), as well as formaldehyde content, were determined in accordance with the corresponding European standards. Overall, the HDF panels exhibited very satisfactory physical and mechanical properties, fully complying with the standard requirements of HDF for use in load-bearing applications in humid conditions. Markedly, the formaldehyde content of the laboratory fabricated panels was extremely low, ranging between 0.7–1.0 mg/100 g, which is, in fact, equivalent to the formaldehyde release of natural wood.

Five types of selected tropical light hardwoods were chemically modified with benzene diazonium salt to improve their physical and mechanical properties. Benzene diazonium salt underwent a coupling reaction with wood which was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. The compressive modulus of the treated wood increased, whereas modulus of rupture was shown to decrease on treatment. The modified wood samples had higher hardness (Shore D) values compared to that of the control ones.

The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of rubberwood sawdust (RWS) size and content as well as the ratio of natural rubber (NR)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blend on properties of RWS reinforced thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) composites. The addition of RWS about 30–50 wt% improved the modulus of the rupture and tensile strength of TPNR composites blending with NR/HDPE ratios of 60/40 and 50/50. TPNR composites reinforced with RWS 80 mesh yielded better tensile strength and modulus of rupture than the composites with RWS 40 mesh. The TPNR/RWS composites with larger HDPE content gave higher tensile, flexural, and Shore hardness properties and thermal stability as well as lower water absorption. The TPNR/RWS composites with larger plastic content were therefore suggested for applications requiring high performance of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties.
