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.

The paper deals with results of research aimed at the problem of the maximum possible amount of added sawdust to standard particles into surface and central layers of three-layer particleboards in order that the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards will comply with the CSN 49 2614 Standard. Waste from wood processing is widely used for the production of particleboards. For that purpose, three-layer particleboards with computed density of 740 kg/m3 at seven versions A-G with 0–30% sawdust addition to standard particles were manufactured in a laboratory. Five particleboards 500 × 500 × 16 mm were made for each version. These air-conditioned particleboards were cut into specimens in which physical and mechanical properties such as moisture, density, swelling, perpendicular tensile strength and bending strength were determined. It is obvious from the results of physical and mechanical properties that during the production of particleboards sawdust at a quantity of max. 25% can be added to standard particles when all values of physical and mechanical properties are in accordance with the CSN 49 2614 Standard.

Physical and mechanical properties of timber components are the basis of developing the technical measures for the conservation and restoration of historical timber structural buildings. By means of integrating on-site investigation (such as a visual survey, moisture content test, micro-drilling resistance test, and material samples collection of historical timber components) and laboratory tests, this study proposed a series of methodologies for comprehensively evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of timber. This method can be quickly mastered by various non-professionals and can help the cross-learning of various disciplines engaged in the research of architectural heritage protection. As a trial, the methodologies were applied to survey and assess a typical historical Chinese timber structural building named the Fujiu Zhou house (the house is located in No. 19, Qinglian lane, Yangzhou city, Jiangsu province, China). The paper studies the 224 components of the main structure of the building, including 128 columns and 96 beams. With the help of the components’ defects and damage status, GB/T13942.2-1992 and the National Lumber Grades Authority (NLGA), the grade of timber components was distinguished. The modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and other related material properties parameters of timber components were also obtained. The trial results verify that the proposed methodologies are reasonable, and they can be helpful for the conservation of a historical timber structural building.

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.

Abstract The fundamental properties of wood are significant to determine the purposes of wood used. This study aims to determine the physical and mechanical properties of four wood species namely terap (Artocarpus odoratissimus ), durian (Durio zibethinus), mindi (Melia azedarach L.), and karet or rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg) from community forests in the Binjai Regency, North Sumatra. The physical properties were determined as described in ASTM D4442 and ASTM D2395 while the mechanical properties were conducted according to ASTM D143 and BS 373. The results showed the moisture contents of four wood species ranged 12.66– 15.28%, densities 0.35–0.59 gcm-3, and specific gravities (SG) 0.33–0.55. The compression, tensile and shear strengths parallel to the grain, hardness, modulus of elasticity (MOE), and modulus of rupture (MOR) ranged 20–35 MPa, 36–80 MPa, 6.5–9.7 MPa, 1713–3226 N, 5463– 7497 MPa and 43–71 MPa, respectively. Based on the SG and MOR values, the terap wood is included in strength class IV, while the other woods are in strength class III. Meanwhile, based on the compression strength values, the terap wood is included in strength class V, durian and mindi wood are in strength class IV, while karet wood is in strength class III.

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.
