Using computer simulation to study the dynamics of moisture distribution in wood / Mohd Ariff Jamaludin … [et al.]

The mechanism of moisture movement through wood has been extensively studied because of its fundamental importance in understanding the behaviour of wood during processing and when it is in service. However, most studies were done using conventional experimental methods which sometimes can be tediou...
