PHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HOMOGENIZED X-RAY IMAGES IN DETERMINING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Previous research demonstrated a link between wood strength and brightness intensity in X-ray images. Wood samples were subjected to compression testing along and across the grain, with X-ray imaging performed on the same specimens before the mechanical tests. Differences in the brightness of X-ray images of test specimens were clearly noticeable, ...
