modelling dimensional stability drying

Project description

This research focuses on drying tropical hardwood species more effectively and with higher yields. This will be done by using a mathematical model linking micro-, meso- and macro-level for dimensional changes under subsequent drying process conditions, calibrated using a matrix of quantifiable parameters derived from multi-scale mapping of the transient processes linked to physical and anatomical characterization of the wood.
