Wood Properties and Drying Characteristics of Korean Sawtooth Oak (Quercus acutissima Carruth.) Wood: Poster presentation

The objective of this study was to present the wood properties and drying characteristics of sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima Carruth.) for the spread of its utilization in South Korea. The annual ring, latewood ratio, dimension of vessels, density, and shrinkage of specimens manufactured from five sawtooth oak trees were measured and compared...

Evaluation of Drying and Anatomical Characteristic of Mongolian Oak Lumber by Kiln Drying due to storage time after sawing: Poster presentation

Based on the 2017 statistics of the Korea Forest Service, the amount of annual production of domestic roundwood was 4.5 million ㎥. Twenty eight percent of the production was hardwood roundwood. About 80% of the hardwood was Quercus species. The hardwood roundwoods were mainly used for wood chips (50%) and medium density fiberboard (MDF)(26%)....

Hyper-Morphology: Experimentations with bio-inspired design processes for adaptive spatial re-use

Hyper-Morphology is an on-going research outlining a bottom-up evolutionary design process based on autonomous cellular building components. The research interfaces critical operational traits of the natural world (Evolutionary Development Biology, Embryology and Cellular Differentiation) with Evolutionary Computational techniques driven design...

CSF model performance for Rayleigh-Taylor instability

In the present study, the surface tension is introduced as volume forces according to the continuum surface force (CSF) model [1] using the surface tension coefficient and the mollified volume fraction (color) function. The latter can be taken in the first approximation as the volume fraction defined numerically due to (possible) smoothing of...
