The lab designs better environments through research on the mechanics and recycling of wood.
AboutAbout the lab
Rethinking wood to build a sound material-cycle society
The Wood Engineering Lab aims to improve environmental quality through environmental design using woody biomass, and to build a sound material-cycle society.
The lab studies the mechanics and physical properties of wood as a cellular structure, the mechanical properties of wood, wood-based materials, and timber structures, and the development of recycling systems for woody biomass.
Focusing mainly on traditionally built timber buildings such as old private houses and ancient temples, the lab has proposed a method for non-destructively estimating the bending strength of old timber from Young's modulus estimated using stress waves.
Key terms
- Woody biomass
- Resources derived from trees, such as wood
- Stress wave
- A wave that travels through a piece of material. The lab measures its speed to estimate Young's modulus
- Young's modulus
- A value that shows how resistant a material is to deformation
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to improve environmental quality through environmental design using woody biomass, and to build a sound material-cycle society. Its research themes are clarifying the mechanical properties of wood, the performance of timber structural elements, creating comfortable living spaces, and the recycling of wood resources.
