Development of Testing Platform and Comparison Studies for Wood Nondestructive Testing

الملخص EN

Stress wave based techniques have been developed for evaluating the quality of the wooden materials nondestructively.

However the existing techniques have some shortcomings due to the significant variation of the wood properties and are now in need of updating.

There are also stress wave based instruments which have been widely used for nondestructive testing of wood.

But most of them are inflexible and unsuitable for the tentative studies.

This paper proposed and implemented a wood nondestructive testing platform based on NI virtual instrument.

Three wood nondestructive testing methods, including peak time interval measurement, cross-correlation, and spectrum analysis, were also tested on this platform with serious decay sample, early decay sample, and defect-free sample.

The results show that new methods can be verified easily and the researches of wood nondestructive testing will be accelerated with the designed platform.
