Effect of Drying Temperature and Relative Humidity on Contraction Stress in Wood

As wood shrinks during the drying process, various stresses may develop and cause surface and internal checking. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effect of the drying temperature, relative humidity, and specimen thickness on the contraction stress in elm wood (Ulmus pumila...
