Wood is a traditional construction material widely used in the construction and furniture industries due to its natural appearance, aesthetic structure, and sustainability. However, its limited resistance to environmental factors, risk of biological degradation, and mechanical weaknesses restrict its use, particularly in load-bearing systems. To overcome these limitations, thermal treatment and composite reinforcement techniques have been developed to enhance the physical and mechanical performa

Composite materials are engineering materials formed by combining at least two different materials at the macroscopic level while preserving their physical and chemical properties. The primary purpose of this combination is to create a new material with superior characteristics by integrating properties that the individual components lack or possess only in limited form. In composite structures, the constituent materials do not dissolve into one another; if dissolution occurs, the structure is t

Carbon fiber production began in the mid-20th century. It was first used in the aerospace and space industries in the 1960s. Carbon is a material with extremely high mechanical strength and low weight. Carbon fiber, formed by aligning and processing carbon atoms into very fine filaments, stands out for its recent degree strength and lightness. Carbon fibers are typically combined with polymer matrices to create composite properties, and these composites are preferred in various industrial applic

BeBending strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand before fracturing under a bending load. This property is critically important in structural, construction, composite, and textile materials. Bending strength is typically determined using three-point or four-point bending tests. The material specimen is placed on specific supports, and a load is applied at the center or at defined intervals to identify the point of fracture.Yield strength is the highest stress a material can endure
