Content (Syllabus outline)
· Review of techniques for non-destructive determination of material properties and their use in wood processing.
· Characterisation of micro-structure of wood by non-destructive techniques – radiation techniques for analyzing of growth dynamics, density profiles, structural properties…
· Macro-scale structural analysis of wood and quality control – use of radiation and acoustic techniques for identification of structural properties and wood anomalies.
