Frans and Carl Kempe memory foundation

On the 30th of October Niclas Björngrim at Wood Products Engineering was awarded 100 000 sek from Frans and Carl Kempe memory foundation. The money will be used to build a laboratory scale bridge in cross laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a type of engineered wood that is gaining in popularity due to high stiffness to weight ratio.

Conferment ceremony 2012

LTU Skellefteå had its first dissertation in 1992 when Owe Lindgren defended his doctoral thesis in the subject Wood Technology. Before the end of year 2012 LTU Skellefteå will hopefully be able to congratulate the 40th PhD student who obtained the doctor degree.

How planing affects warp

My research is focused on how planing affects the warp types twist, crook, bow and cup as well as how these warp types affects the result of planing says Ann Axelsson. The goal is to be able to predict the appropriate allowance for planing and planer settings before sawing of planks and boards so that the planed timber in the end has the sought dimensions and shape.

Simulation tools for the industry

The goal of my licentiate work is a simulation tool to facilitate quality discussions or control of industrial processes, says Magnus Fredriksson who presented his licentiate thesis "Computer Simulation in the Forestry-Wood Chain"

Strategies for increased efficiency

Supplying Engineer-to-Order Joinery Products to the Construction Industry

On Coopeation and Efficiency in the Construction-Related Wood Industry

Multiple studies have raised concerns about the construction area and issues such as low quality, high costs, low profitability and lack of innovations. Major parts of the processes are project based and characterised by one-of-a-kind setups in which the unique characteristics come from production setup, site, and temporary organisations.

Researchers Seminar in Wood Science and Engineering

Researchers at the Department of Wood Science and Engineering in Skellefteå presented their research at 2012 Researchers Seminar, May 21. This was a seminar for researchers and the purpose was to discuss the ongoing research conducted in Skellefteå.

Research in Skellefteå - the " nail log" is now inaugurated
