In-Line Wood Defect Detection Using Simple Scalar Network Analyzer

In-Line Wood Defect Detection Using Simple Scalar Network Analyzer

Timber is widely used in new structures. The leading causes of structural failure are sited at bolt connections, cavities, and knots. This paper introduces a simple method to detect bolts in wood using a UHF Scalar Network Analyzer (SNA). The electronics placed inside an aluminum box with a slot ape...
