Journal Article
Rautkari, L., Honkanen, J., Hill, C. A. S., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Hughes, M. (2014). Mechanical and physical properties of thermally modified Scots pine wood in high pressure reactor under saturated steam at 120, 150 and 180°C. European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 72, 33-41. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00107-013-0749-5

Scots pine sapwood and heartwood were thermally modified under saturated steam at 120, 150 and 180 °C in a high pressure reactor. Mechanical properties such as dynamic and static modulus of elasticity (MOE), static modulus of rupture (MOR), Brinell h...

Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010, June). Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. Presented at 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010., Riva del Garda, Italy

This paper describes means to overcome some of the computational issues related to lattice models. The first is the use of a solution technique, different from a Newton-Raphson approach, called the Step-Size-Control (SSC) algorithm to handle strain-s...
