In the last quarter century, delamination has come to mean more
than just a failure in adhesion between layers of bonded composite
plies that might affect their load-bearing capacity.
Ever-increasing computer power has meant that we can now detect and
analyze delamination between, for example, cell walls in solid
wood. This fast-moving and critically important field of study is
covered in a book that provides everyone from manufacturers to
research scientists the state of the art in wood delamination
studies. Divided into three sections, the book first details the
general aspects of the subject, from basic information including
terminology, to the theoretical basis for the evaluation of
delamination. A settled terminology in this subject area is a first
key goal of the book, as the terms which describe delamination in
wood and wood-based composites are numerous and often confusing.
The second section examines different and highly specialized
methods for delamination detection such as confocal laser scanning
microscopy, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and
ultrasonics. Ways in which NDE (non-destructive evaluation) can be
employed to detect and locate defects are also covered. The book's
final section focuses on the practical aspects of this defect in a
wide range of wood products covering the spectrum from trees, logs,
laminated panels and glued laminated timbers to parquet floors.
Intended as a primary reference, this book covers everything from
the microscopic, anatomical level of delamination within solid wood
sections to an examination of the interface of wood and its surface
coatings. It provides readers with the perspective of industry as
well as laboratory and is thus a highly practical sourcebook for
wood engineers working in manufacturing as well as a
comprehensively referenced text for materials scientists wrestling
with the theory underlying the subject.
