Strength properties usually reported include modulus of rupture. (MOR, bending strength), compression strength parallel to surface, tension strength parallel to … The term composite is used to describe any wood materialbonded together with adhesives. The current product mixranges from fiberboard to laminated beams and components.In this chapter, wood-based composite materials are classified into the following categories: panel products (plywood,oriented strandboard (OSB), particleboard, fiberboard,medium-density fiberboard (MDF), hardboard); structuraltimber products (glued-laminated …

Abstract There is an increasing …
