Abstract

The development of timber structures in tropical regions using local species requires characterization of mechanical properties in respect to moisture content. In this context, the estimation of moisture content distribution relies on knowledge of diffusion properties in terms of sorption hysteresis and diffusion kinetics. This paper deals with experimental protocols and numerical approaches used in the 3D orthotropic diffusion characterization for Moabi and Ozigo species.
