Influence of moisture content on the mechanical properties of selected wood-based composites

Abstract: Wood quality depends on many circumstances, as it is sensitive to changing properties, depending on the environment. This work evaluates the influence of moisture content of selected wood-based composites on their basic mechanical properties, i.e., modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity. The selected panels were divided by application in construction materials and furniture materials, which demand specific conditions during service-life. The increase of moisture content in different types of wood-based p… Show more

“…The noticeable decreases of the MOR and MOE values over 65% relative air humidity are in line with the results obtained by other researchers [17], who observed that these reductions are more intensive for fibrous panels of higher density when the relative air humidity is raised from 65% to 95%. A similar tendency for strength reduction for different wood-based composites when MC increases was also found by other researchers [32][33][34][35].…”

“…A great portion of the samples exhibited disintegration under these conditions. Consequently, given that a substantial rise in moisture content is adverse for these wood composites, even slight fluctuations in moisture can lead to a decline in the strength parameters [52].…”

“…Studies on the properties of thin and ultra-thin furniture panels can be found in the specialised literature. Mainly, these are studies of plywood [4][5][6][7][8], PB [5,9], MDF [3,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13], oriented strand board (OSB) [9] or a combination of some of them [3]. Some authors are looking at possibly reinforcing wood-based panels to increase strength and deformation properties, such as with thin aluminium sheets [14].…”
