Cross-Sectional Distortion in Polar and Nonpolar Orthotropic Lumber : A Unified Analytical and Numerical Approach

Wood exhibits cross-sectional distortions such as cupping, diamonding, skewing, edgewise cupping, and ovalization when moisture loss below the fibre saturation point induces anisotropic radial–tangential shrinkage. Because classical cupping models use different coordinate systems...
