Mechanical modelling of wood microstructure, an engineering approach

The macroscopic elastic behaviour of wood derives from the mechanical performance of the cells which form its microstructure. Numerical finite element models are presented which relate the elastic properties of the wood continuum to local cell characteristics such as cell size, wall thickness, moist...
