What is Timber Structure-Property Relationships about?

This document provides an overview of the relationship between timber structure and mechanical properties. It discusses timber structure at four levels - macroscopic, microscopic, sub-microscopic, and chemical. The dimensional instability when wet and loss of strength from wetting are explained by its fine structure. Timber behaves as an elastic material at low stresses but becomes a viscoelastic material at higher stresses, especially with alternating humidity. Anisotropy arises from cell arrangement and m
