This study examined the changes in the properties of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) after
intense drying. Beech wood with false red heartwood was selected as the test specimen …

The impact of variations of relative humidity, temperature and moisture content on the creep
of notched beams of Douglas fir and white fir are investigated. Indoor static 4-points bending …

Dimensional stability proves to be an important factor affecting the quality of wooden
products. As a sort of crude and thermoplastic resin, shellac excreted by lac insects …

The hygroexpansion and anisotropy of wood limit its application in construction and wood
products industry. Zinc chloride–silicone oil was use to decrease the hygroscopicity and …

This work presents the experimental study of natural drying and cracking of green wood
slices of two tropical species. The tests were carried out on slices of Aucoumea klaineana P …

This study describes the effect of heat treatment on some physical, chemical, and
mechanical properties of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis (EC) wood at different temperatures …

Wood is a type of renewable and natural material, with most of its end application related to
building materials. However, hygroexpansion and anisotropy in wood markedly shorten its …

The knowledge of crack driving forces such as energy release rate is very important in the
assessment of the reliability of timber structures. This work deals with both static and creep …

Wood and paperboard are two of the most widely used structural and packaging materials.
Their fracture mechanical properties play a critical role in their performance for the practical …

The study and identification of the water diffusion properties of Abies alba Mill at the growth
ring scale are investigated in this paper. A full-field measurement technique, the grid …
