About this document

Hybrid Element for Moisture Cracking in Wood by omar eusebio galindo bustincio is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a new hybrid interface element and material formulation for simulating moisture-induced cracking in wood. The hybrid element allows for simultaneous simulation of anisotropic moisture transfer through and along the crack plane, as well as the mechanical response. Hygro-mechanical coupling is considered through moisture-dependent properties and swelling/shrinkage of adjacent material. A numerical parameter study is conducted to analyze the influence of wood species, material direction
