첨가제(윤활제 및 산화방지제)와 용융혼합 조건(온도, 시간 및 로터 속도)이 폴리프로필렌(PP) 기반 WPC(wood polymer composite)의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. WPC는 용융혼합 후 압축성형하여 제조하였다. 용융혼합 과정을 이해하기 위해 WPC 용융혼합물의 토크 변화를 측정하였다. 말레산무수물로 개질된 폴리프로필렌을 상용화제로, 나노점토를 보강재로 각각 사용하였다. WPC의 기계적 특성을 측정하기 위해 UTM과 충격시험기를 이용하였고 색차계를 이용하여 WPC의 용융혼합 조건에 따른 변색을 측정하였다. 기계적 특성 분석에 따른 최적용융혼합 조건은 $170^{\circ}C$, 15분, 60 rpm인 것으로 나타났다. 윤활제와 산화방지제의 함량이 증가할수록 WPC의 기계적 특성이 하락함을 확인하였다. 용융혼합 과정에서 목분만을 별도로 나중에 투입하는 이단계 방법이 전형적인 일단계 방법보다 WPC의 기계적 특성 향상에 더 효과적이었다.

This study was performed to develop an LRFD (Load Resistance Factored Design) Code for Domestic Larch. To accomplish his, we evaluated bending, compression, tension and shear strength. The results of the strength evaluation were utilized to verify the distribution and code conversion. For bending, tension and compressive strength, the Weibull distribution was well-fitted, but for shear strength we observed a normal distribution. For evaluating the bending and compressive strength, a full-sized specimen was used. A small clear specimen was used to test tension and shear strength. Compressive strength in particular was found to be affected by tight knots, although there was little difference between grades. In the code conversion, the design value of the LRFD was larger than the existing allowable stress value in the Korean Building Code. However, the allowable stress in this study was about two times higher than the value listed in the Korean Building Code. This result induced the difference between the soft and hard conversions. For greater reliability, the accumulation of additional data is necessary and further studies should be performed

Modified poplar has emerged as a potential raw material for furniture production. Lack of specific modified poplar strength information; however, restricts applications in the furniture industry especially as related to strength in corner-joints. Optimization of strength in L-shaped corner dowel modified poplar joints under compression loads utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) by Taguchi method with the focus of this study. Four experiment factors (i.e., Structure Style, Tenon Length, Tenon Diameter, and Tenon Gap), each at three levels, were conducted by adopting a $L_9-3^4$ Taguchi orthodoxy array (OA) to determine the optimal combination of factors and levels for the von Mises stress utilizing ANSYS software. Results of Signal-to-Noise ratio (S/N) analysis and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed the optimal L-shaped corner dowel joint in modified poplar is $45^{\circ}$ Bevel Butt in structure style, 24 mm in tenon length, 6 mm in tenon diameter, and 20 mm in tenon gap. Tenon length and tenon gap are determined to be significant design factors for affecting von Mises Stress. Confirmation tests with optimal levels and experimental test indicated the predicted optimal condition is comparable to the actual experimental optimal condition.

The objective of this research was to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of three species of Styrax woods from North Tapanuli in Indonesia. The woods were more than 15 years old. Physical properties such as specific gravity, green moisture content, and volume shrinkage were determined by the procedures based on BS-373 standard for small clear specimen. Furthermore, mechanical properties, including modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, compression parallel to grain and hardness were also tested according to the standard. Along the stem direction, the edge section had better properties compared with those near the pith section. And the base section had also better properties than upper section. Based on the specific gravity, all of the Styrax woods in this research were classified into III-IV strength classes. A good dimensional stability was demonstrated by the value of the tangential and radial ratio which reached one. With the consideration of the mechanical properties, Styrax woods were suitable use for raw materials of light construction, furniture and handy craft.

There are separate merits and demerits to wood and steel. The combination of wood and steel as a compound section is able to improve the properties of both and ultimately increase their final bearing capacity. The composite cross-section made of steel and wood has higher hardness while showing more ductility and the local buckling of steel is delayed or completely prevented. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of composite columns enclosed in wooden logs and the hollow sections of steel that will be examined in a laboratory environment under the axial load to determine the final bearing capacity and sample deformation. In terms of methodology, steel sheet and carbon fiber reinforced polymer sheet (FRP) are tested to construct hollow rectangular sections and reinforce timber. Besides, the method of connecting hollow sections and timber including glue and screw has been also investigated. As a result, timber lumber enclosed with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sheets in which fibers are horizontally located at 90° are more resistant with better ductility.

Timber boardwalk decks are widely installed in parks and scenic areas to provide pedestrians an elevated footpath as well as harmony with the surrounding natural scene. In order to extend the lifespan of boardwalks in the outdoor environment, industrially treated pine timber, such as Pinus sylvestris, is often adopted. However, accidents of pedestrians injured by damaged boardwalk decks have been constantly reported. Therefore, the mechanical behavior of two different types of treated timber was examined in this study under repeated wetting and drying. An increasing number of radial cracks appeared with increasing length and width as more cycles were performed. A loss of more than 40% of the screw withdrawal capacity was observed in both end grain and face grain for the two types of timber after twelve accelerated wet-dry cycles, which coincides with the observation of damaged timber boardwalks in the field investigation. At the same time, it was found that both the compressive and the flexural strength was not sensitive to the wet-dry cycles especially at large cycle numbers.

본 연구에서는 목재 곡가공에서 마이크로파 조사 열의 효과를 조사했다. 마이크로파로 조사된 시험편은 대철과 클램프를 이용하여 곡가공을 행했다. 시험을 위한 시험편, 소나무 (Pinus densiflora), 은 78시간 동안 물에 침지했다. 포화된 시험편은 1시간 동안 자비되었다. 시험편의 크기는 $350mm(L){\times}20mm(R){\times}10mm(T)$이며, 이를 시험편은 2,450MHz 의 주파수를 가지는 마이크로파로 가열되었다. 가장 적당한 마이크로파 조사 시간은 60~90초 범위가 적당한 것으로 보였다. 함수은은 조사 시간의 증가와 함께 뚜렷이 감소했다. 연화된 목재를 곡가공 할 때, 연화된 시험편의 철면 (凸面)은 인장되고, 요면(凹面)은 압축 되었다. 압축부는 상당히 압축이되나, 인장부는 매우 작았다. 따라서 파괴는 인장 파괴 변형에 의해서 일어날것이고, 철면에서 대부분 발생한다. 그래서 다음과 같은 3가지 서로 다른 방식에 따라 결과를 얻었다. 1) 대철을 이용하여 곡가공 할 때, 철면에서는 인장 파괴가 일어나지 않지만, 요면에서 압축 파괴가 일어났다. 2) 클램프를 이용하여 곡가공 할 때, 대철 보다 곡가공 시간이 증가 했고, 인장 파괴가 발생했다. 3) 대철과 클램프를 이용한 곡가공은 본 연구에서 가장 우수한 조작으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a curvature method for analysis of beam-columns with different materials and arbitrary cross-section shapes and subjected to combined biaxial moments and axial load. Both material and geometric nonlinearities (the p-delta effect in this case) were incorporated. The proposed method considers biaxial curvatures and uniform normal strains of discrete cross-sections of beam-columns as basic unknowns, and seeks for a solution of the column deflection curve that satisfies force equilibrium conditions. A piecewise representation of the beam-column deflection curve is constructed based on the curvatures and angles of rotation of the segmented cross-sections. The resulting bending moments were evaluated based on the deformed column shape and the axial load. The moment curvature relationship and the beam-column deflection calculation are presented in matrix form and the Newton-Raphson method is employed to ensure fast and stable convergence. Comparison with results of analytic solutions and eccentric compression tests of wood beam-columns implies that this method is reliable and effective for beam-columns subjected to eccentric compression load, lateral bracings and complex boundary conditions.

목재의 역학적 특성은 생육지의 토양조건과 기후변화 등의 환경적 요인에 의해 주로 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 남부지역에 많이 분포하고 있는 삼나무에 대하여 경남, 전남, 제주 세 지역 간, 그리고 해당 임분의 생육특성에 따른 목재의 역학적 특성차이를 각각 비교분석하고자 하였다. 각 지역별 표준지의 삼나무 임분 특성과 목재의 역학적 특성을 비교분석한 결과, 휨강도, 종압축강도, 전단강도는 수고 및 입목본수/ha와 정의 상관관계가 있었으나, 흉고직경, 표고 및 토양배수와는 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 우리나라 남부지역에 위치한 삼나무는 해당임지의 임분 특성과 역학적 특성 간에 밀접한 상관관계를 보이고 있으므로 본 연구의 결과는 고품질 목재생산을 위한 적절한 시업체계와 육림방법을 제시하는데 기초자료로서 그 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.
