Wood is generally considered an anisotropic material. In terms of engineering elastic models, wood is usually treated as an orthotropic material. This paper presents an analysis of two principal anisotropic elastic models ...

This work was carried out for a new architecture of the prototype for analysis of the anisotropy of the wood, based on the image analysis for the hygroscopic behavior of wood and its moisture contents, previously developed ...

The broader knowledge about physical and mechanical properties of wood allows reliable timber structures design. Even little addressed in the literature, in several situations Poisson's ratios are required for the evaluation ...
