Abstract
Abstract To understand the mechanism of bulk wood forming, compressive stress relaxation experiments were performed on radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) specimens with various moisture contents at a temperature of 200°C. The results aided in understanding the time-dependent viscoelastic behaviour with respect to springback and microstructural changes. This study clearly demonstrates the commercial feasibility of value-adding applications such as pattern forming on wood panels using a relatively simple, quick and inexpensive procedure. The experimental data were characterised by a three-component model with a spring and a Maxwell element in parallel, which showed very good agreement under different forming conditions.
