Impact of Storage Conditions on Shear Strength of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.)

Peter Vilkovský / Tatiana Vilkovská / Ivan Klement / Igor Čunderlík

The structure of a bark as a component of a living tree is completely different from wood. Different structures significantly influence the physical and mechanical properties of the bark. In the processing of logs, it is in most cases necessary to separate the bark from the wood. Problems can arise mainly in the pulp and paper industry. The research focused on the impact of storage conditions on shear strength, showing that the value of shear strength decreased remarkably due to the storage. A decrease in strength can mainly be explained by the changes in the moisture content of bark, remarkably affected by the surrounding environment (climate). The research showed that three months of storage seemed to be the most appropriate and effective period for removing the bark in the case of beech logs and that a storage time of up to five months was the best in the case of oak logs.
