title = "Species independent strength modeling of structural timber for machine grading",
abstract = "The current methods for the determination of the strength properties for wood species for grading purposes require extensive testing. Species independent grading might be a solution for this problem, in particular for tropical hardwoods. The strength reducing characteristics such as knots and slope of grain require two groups for which species independent machine grading is possible. Theoretical strength models are formulated and verified with data from a large database of soft- and hardwoods.",
