"In situ" Nondestructive Testing of Built in Wooden Members

1.) Defect detection in solid wood Wood, as a natural material, contains flaws intrinsically (e.g. knots, slope of grain, resin pockets). Fungal or insect attack can also deteriorate the wood structure. The accurate defect detection results in optimized sawing decisions during the manufacturing of forest products, consequently increases the yield of the production process, and the uniformity, and value of the finished product.
