Influence of water content on the mechanical and chemical properties of tropical wood species

This paper aims to study the mechanical behavior and surface chemistry in relationship with moisture content of Iroko (Milicia excelsa), Bilinga (Nauclea diderrichii), and Tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens). Mechanical characterization was done experimentally using tensile and bending tests. Chemical s...
