Nigerian Commercial Sector Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) Engineered Wood Load Strain Critiques

Due to rarity of information to avert the usual resources loss due to failure associated with using unsuitable medium-density fiberboard (MDF) engineered wood products in Nigerian economy with respect to their strain and deformation at load, technical insights relevant to prevent loss due to choice of improper quality for abundant needs was investigated. Prepared and subjected to test as required by a universal testing machine (UTM), the testometric testing machine were the three most sought after following their identification. From the generated data, chats on Strain at Break (%) and Deformation at Break (mm) of the samples were ensued by computer program. Statistically, MDF Hokusan ability to elongate at break is 35.9526% and 57.8750% better than that of Richard Russel and SKG Nordic respectively, placing MDF Hokusan advantaged. Richard Russel elongation potential over SKG Nordic is just 16.1250%. Empirically also, dynamics of the deformation at break exhibited analogous pattern to strain at break, where MDF Hokusan ability to deform at break is 35.9167% and 57.9066% better than that of Richard Russel and SKG Nordic respectively. Richard Russel deformation at break potential over SKG Nordic is just 16.1790%. These showcases their ductility potentials. This sustainable avant-garde technical understanding on strain at break and deformation at break abilities of medium-density fibreboard (MDF) engineered wood product should be valued by architects, building contractors, engineers, individuals, construction companies as well as furniture makers. Engineers in the Biomedical areas as well as mechatronics equipment developers and Engineers in general can as well utilise this knowledge. Strain at break and deformation at break research works of other engineered wood products not yet available should form future research works.
