Predicting effects of selected impregnation processes on the observed bending strength of wood, with use of data mining models

Abstract

Wood materials have been used in many products such as furniture, stairs, windows, and doors for centuries. There are differences in methods used to adapt wood to ambient conditions. Impregnation is a widely used method of wood preservation. In terms of efficiency, it is critical to optimize the parameters for impregnation. Data mining techniques reduce most of the cost and operational challenges with accurate prediction in the wood industry. In this study, three data-mining algorithms were applied to predict bending strength in impregnated wood materials (Pinus sylvestris L. and Millettia laurentii). Models were created from real experimental data to examine the relationship between bending strength, diffusion time, vacuum duration, and wood type, based on decision trees (DT), random forest (RF), and Gaussian process (GP) algorithms. The highest bending strength was achieved with wenge (Millettia laurentii) wood in 10 bar vacuum and the diffusion condition during 25 min. The results showed that all algorithms are suitable for predicting bending strength. The goodness of fit for the testing phase was determined as 0.994, 0.986, and 0.989 in the DT, RF, and GP algorithms, respectively. Moreover, the importance of attributes was determined in the algorithms.

“…e cluster in the candidate set is trimmed further based on the sequence of moving items in the cluster and the location of the same object in the prefix. Traverse the index table for each object in the prefix of the cluster to be searched, acquire the matching index item, and use it as the cluster candidate [20,21]. e secondary merging of intermediate findings is finished after merging separate data blocks in the central node, and the global clustering results are created.…”
