The Impact of Technological Development on Improving the Properties of Timber and Utilization

Abstract

Smart technology is now playing an essential role in engineering applications that aim to enhance people's quality of life. particularly in architecture and mechanical engineering. Despite the fact that wood has been considered a heritage since the ancient Egyptians used it in its most basic form, it will never be neglected as it is a traditional and natural material. Therefore, the hypothesis is that, the developments in nanotechnology and the application of smart technologies to wood will take variety of forms in order to optimize its architectural and environmental efficiency. Moreover, the improved characteristics of wood allow for a novel application of it that might affect the current path in a wide range of mechanical applications. The research methodology is an analytical descriptive approach that shows the impact of smart technologies with nanotechnology in providing new wood characteristics to enable design engineers to maximize the usage of wood in an innovative way in engineering applications. The objectives of the paper are to highlight the capability of using smart and Nano technologies to maximize the potential of natural and gained wood benefits in engineering applications. Furthermore, Experiments have shown that using definite kinds of wood in a various application, such as manufacturing 3D vehicle simulation models to analyze dynamic characteristics and improving the accuracy of mechanical measurement systems, as well as using wood in an urban context to improve technology and environmental efficiency
