Micro Abstract:
The hygroscopic and rotational-orthotropic material wood can be used for generating bending motions of cross-ply structures in response to moisture content variations. We investigate the general behavior and the upscaling of such self-actuated wood bilayer structures by a combined experimental and simulation study using Finite element models, including the mechanical behavior of wood and the adhesive bonding. The aim is the manufacturing of complex curved wood parts by self-actuation.
