Evaluation of finger-jointed lumber strength using critically refracted longitudinal waves and constituent wood properties /

Finger-jointed lumber is one type of reconstituted wood product which has been studied using acoustic methods of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). While past research with acoustic NDE has established correlations with finger joint tensile strength, predictive capabilities remain weak. The goal of...
