Simulation of drying stresses in Wood. Part I: comparison between one- and two-dimensional models

Svensson, Staffan LU and Mårtensson, Annika LU (1999) In Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff 57(2). p.129-136
Abstract
A number of rheological models of drying wood have been

presented during the last ten years. At the material point

level, most models show high accuracy. The models in

themselves, however, have no value unless used for improving

wood drying, technique, quality, etc. To achieve

this, they have to be implemented in applicable programs/

methods. In this article, the implementation of a material

model calibrated on small clear wood specimen is presented.

The strain (cup-deformations) and the internal

stresses (indicator of surface checks and internal collapse)

of the boards cross-section are calculated for given moisture

histories. Comparisons... (More)
A number of rheological models of drying wood have been

The strain (cup-deformations) and the internal

stresses (indicator of surface checks and internal collapse)

of the boards cross-section are calculated for given moisture

histories. Comparisons with test results concerning

cupping show that the model can describe the deformation

of a board cross-section. It is also shown that in many

cases a simple analytical solution can be used to determine

the cupping. Comparisons between two-dimensional and

one-dimensional calculations show that the one-dimensional

formulation in many cases is suf®cient to describe

the maximum internal stresses during drying as function

of time. (Less)
