Abstract
Abstract This is a preliminary study that proposes an original prototype artificial neural network to be used in addition to the two classic sorption isotherm modeling methods, Hailwood-Horrobin (HH) and Guggenheim-Anderson-deBoer (GAB), in predicting the equilibrium moisture content in wood at three different temperatures (30, 45 and 60°C) for softwood (lodgepole pine) sapwood and heartwood specimens. Contrary to the HH and GAB equations, which use physical data for modeling, the predictive power of the artificial neural network is based on both physical and chemical data for the specific wood types. The results prove the potential efficient use of neural networks in predicting moisture content based not only on the ambient conditions, but also on taking into consideration the chemical composition of wood.
