Abstract
The deformations and the evolution of drying-induced stresses in wood are studied based on a model which takes into account the alteration of mechanical properties of wood in the course of drying. A two-dimensional initial-boundary value problem is solved with the help of the finite element method. An influence of wood anisotropy on the deformation and the stress distributions and evolution of maximal stresses is analysed.
