Structure and Properties of Wood-Based Materials (5 cpu) 3513159

Puupohjaisten materiaalien rakenne ja ominaisuudet

Petri P. Kärenlampi

Lectures 24 h, exercises 50 h, literature and examination 61 h

 

 

Properties. Anisotropy. The effect of structure, moisture and temperature on properties. Sorption, changes in dimensions, hysteresis. Diffusivity, permeability.

Thermal transitions. Composites, Strain energy density. Strength.

Time-dependent material behavior. 

 

The student will gain some knowledge of materials science, especially in the case of porous, hygroscopic, anisotropic and time-dependent materials. The student will be able to deduce and compute some relations between structure, material properties, and structural properties.

 

 

 

Any student is free to choose either to attend in the lecture room or follow a livestream. However, there is a restriction of 13 students in the lecture room.

livestream address:

http://www.uef.fi/live2 

 

The livestream is a one-way communication system. It needs to be complemented, to allow questions and comments. There will be an e-mail connection during the lectures. The lecturer is available during lectures at petri.karenlampi@gmail.com. Regular uef-email of the lecturer is not reachable from the lecture room.

If you follow by livestream, please let the lecturer know that you are there.

 

 

Grading:

Exercizes 25%

Exam 75%

 

Exercises are due each Monday at 9 am, beginning January 18, to be returned to the green metallic mailbox by main entrance of the Borealis Building. Due to the pandemic, exercise reports also can be delivered to the e-mail mentioned above. Emails sent after the due time will not be processed.
