A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON ULTRASONIC TREATMENT EFFECT ON TRANSVERSE WOOD PERMEABILITY

Ultrasonic pre-treatment of small and pressure saturated Douglas-fir heartwood specimens at 20 kHz fixed frequency with an acoustic horn resulted in increased specific permeability coefficient in both radial and tangential directions. Statistical analysis revealed that there was a high correlation b...
