Water movement in wood while drying. Discret model

Abstract

The knowledge of the factors that produce deformations of wood can help proper selection of material before sawing. One way to address the problem of deformations is with the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate it. The work presented exposes the behavior of the dynamics of water during drying of wood, as a factor that influences the deformation of the same during this process, from a theoretical model, unifying Newtonian dynamics of a particle system and the elements of methods finite elements. This model allows you to set in detail influence of qualitative and quantitative moisture in the nature of the deformation, allowing to understand and explain the experimental results, and do prediction that involve in practical activity a considerable saving of resources and time.
