A model for multiphase moisture and heat transport below and above the saturation point of deformable and swelling wood fibers-II: Hygro-mechanical response

A non-linear elastic constitutive model for a swelling/shrinking orthotropic wood matrix is proposed. The model is thermodynamically consistent, derived based on the principles of continuum mechanics and the hybrid mixture theory. Moisture induced strains are introduced considering finite deformatio...
