The role of water in the behavior of wood
Dominique Derome, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Stefan Hering +7
Wood, due to its biological origin, has the capacity to interact with water. Sorption/desorption of moisture is accompanied with swelling/shrinkage and softening/hardening of its s…
Full-field moisture induced deformation in Norway spruce: intra-ring variation of transverse swelling
Christian Lanvermann, Falk K. Wittel, Peter Niemz
The transverse hygro-expansion of the Norway spruce wood is studied on the growth ring level using digital image correlation. This non-destructive technique offers the possibility…
Mechanical Properties of Norway Spruce: Intra-Ring Variation and Generic Behavior of Earlywood and Latewood until Failure
Christian Lanvermann, Philipp Hass, Falk K. Wittel +1
The alternating earlywood and latewood growth ring structure has a strong influence on the mechanical performance of Norway spruce. In the current study, tensile tests in the longi…
