Logs - No. MDP-07-021
Developing a stress wave based method of detecting internal checks and rot areas in MPB logs to grade the logs and assess their suitability for sawing. This will build on the initial project by testing the return time and location of the stress wave transmission through an MPB log to accurately map internal checks, defect and rot in the logs.
