Abstract: An autoregressive (AR) model for the simulation of modulus of elasticity (MOE) fluctuations along hardwood boards without pronounced knot periodicity is presented. The model is calibrated based on contiguous, localized ...

Abstract: Experiments and a simulation of the effect of localized tensile strength in European white oak boards and predictions of the effect of the board’s length on global tensile strength are reported. Furthermore, the cross-correlation ...
