Abstract:The plastic deformation of wood perpendicular to the grain is gaining increasing importance due to advancements in forming technologies and the densification of wood. This study investigates how two hardwood species, i.e., beech (Fagus sylvatica) and birch (Betula pendula), respond to compression in the radial direction and examines the structural changes they undergo during both elastic and plastic deformation. Stress–strain curves at different moisture contents (dry to wet) and temperature conditions (20 to … Show more
