Outline and Purpose of the Course 【Woody environmental science from the viewpoint of mechanics-utilizing carbon storage effect-】
Wood-based materials are related to the natural environment in the life cycle from production to disposal, and in their use, they are related to the spatial environment, which is the place of human life. Natural materials that have a unique system of "carbon fixation function-carbon storage effect" and human society that has formed a society by using this. Its essence is considered to be environmental symbiosis and the building of sustainability. What does this primitive, but cutting-edge proposition look like from a mechanics perspective?
In this lecture, the theme is "What can mechanics do in the formation of an environment using wood-based materials?" (1) Significance, possibilities, and issues of using materials, and (2) Science and technology that supports the extension of the life of wood as parts.
Course Goals Wood is both a raw material and a final material. The use of that material is closely related to both the natural environment and human society. It can be said that if it is used correctly, it will lead to a sustainable future social system, and if it is used incorrectly, it will lead to the destruction of the environment.
The purpose of this lecture is to learn the basic knowledge and cutting-edge science that are the basis for thinking about this, and to broaden the horizons of the social situation surrounding the wood environment.
