Outline and Purpose of the Course Reading and discussion of the book of basic experiment and theory, introduction of recent articles, presentation and discussion of newly obtained experimental results, and free talking about the planning ideas.
Course Goals ?Understand the relationship between the structures of biomaterials such as wood and the manifestation of their physical properties, and learn the experimental techniques used to examine this relationship;
?Understand the relationship between the dynamic characteristics unique to wood, which is a biomaterial, and fracture events, and to learn the experimental techniques used to examine this relationship;
?Understand how the characteristics of wood surface affect the human body and mind, and learn the experimental techniques used to examine the effects.
