Modelling the elastic properties of softwood part 2: The cellular microstructure
Numerical Finite Element models are presented which relate the macroscopic elastic properties of softwood to local cell characteristics such as cell size, wall thickness, moisture content and microfibril angle. Preliminary results show good agreement with reported values. The model is used to assess the effects of S2 microfibril angle and spiral grain on orthotropic wood stiffness, and to predict the stiffening effect of latewood bands

Abstract

Numerical Finite Element models are presented which relate the macroscopic elastic properties of softwood to local cell characteristics such as cell size, wall thickness, moisture content and microfibril angle. Preliminary results show good agreement with reported values. The model is used to assess the effects of S2 microfibril angle and spiral grain on orthotropic wood stiffness, and to predict the stiffening effect of latewood bands
