The research carried out within this project, No. 2020/37/N/HS2/01727, has received funding from National Science Center, Poland
Discussions about wood
At the end of October, we participated in the Wood Science and Technology III conference in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where we presented our results within the GRIEG and Preludium projects. READ MORE
The future of religious cultural heritage? Let’s talk about it!
The Future for Religious Heritage: European Sustainable Religious Heritage conference was held in the university town of Lund, just 20 km from Malmö and only 60 km from Copenhagen. Sounds READ MORE
Lime wood is the new comic book superhero!
Today we present a short picture story from an experiment that allows you to determine the moisture content in tested wood samples. A fragment was saved from each sample after READ MORE
Comprehensive database of lime wood properties is already under construction
From the same trunks from which we obtained the samples to determine the critical energy release rate we had more samples cut – so-called dog-bones. We measure Young’s modulus in READ MORE
Visiting Prof. Suiker at TU/e in Eindhoven
The project PRELUDIUM 19 experiments have advanced significantly since the successful tests of the measurement methodology. Moreover, the results obtained with the “wedge splitting method” gave rise to new research READ MORE
Characterizing fracture process in lime wood
We committed ourselves to measure the fracture toughness of lime wood in a wide range of relative humidities (RH). Thanks to those experiments, we will better answer the question of READ MORE
We take part in Gordon Research Conference 2022: Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage Research
What a week! Surrounded by the Bernese Alps, the Swiss Les Diablerets was this weekend not only a stop on the Tour de France, but more importantly, hosted the Gordon READ MORE
Measurements of lime wood properties
We started laboratory measurements of the mechanical properties of lime wood. Check out the photo report of our first attempts and small successes (the crack growth takes place where expected!) READ MORE
From the laboratory notebook of the PRELUDIUM 19 project
What is the fracture toughness of wood? Many engineers have dealt with this topic in terms of applications in construction. But what if we ask ourselves this question, bearing in READ MORE
