INFLUENCE OF LOG TEMPERATURE IN IRREGULARITIES ON STRAND GEOMETRY DETECTED BY DIGITAL IMAGE ANALYSIS

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) wood strands, while often idealized as being rectangular and slender objects, are in fact typically very complex in shape. This complexity is important to the manufacture and performance of OSB as it influences forming, screening, blending, formation and ultimately perfor...
