Abstract: Abstract Being a hygroscopic material, wood is subjected to dimensional variation from a hygric state to another. These variations affect strongly its physical properties and consequently its structural functions in the building. The quantification of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mechmat.2017.01.013
Abstract: This paper presents a multi-scale approach to predict the effective hygro-mechanical behaviour of paper sheets based on the properties of the underlying fibrous network. Despite the vast amount of literature on paper hygro-expansion, the functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/hf-2018-0035
Abstract: Abstract A hygro-mechanical (H-M) analysis of a wooden specimen sustaining a mechanical load while subjected to varying relative humidity was performed to predict the long-term rheological behavior of wood. The numerical analysis was based on… read more here.
