Nondestructive Evaluation of Incipient Decay in Hardwood Logs
Decay can cause significant damage to high-value hardwood timber in the United States. Field foresters and managers are keenly interested in learning whether new nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies may be used to effectively detect incipient decay in standing hardwood timber at the earliest possible stage. Currently, the primary means of inspecting timber relies on visual assessment criteria. Whereas visual inspections are used extensively, they provide no indication of the extent of internal deterioration that may exist in timber. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of several existing NDE technologies for locating incipient decay in standing hardwood timber. Results of this study will assist field foresters and managers in monitoring the health of the Nation's standing hardwood timber and identifying decay-infested trees in forests.
