摘要：Bent wood has the advantages of visually appealing and ergonomic shapes and the disadvantage of processing failure. Understanding how water and temperature influence wood bending is critical to avoid processing failure. Compared with softwood, saturated hardwood has been seldom reported in terms of bending performance at various temperature levels. In this paper, white birch and ash wood were studied in bending using a universal testing machine and a program-controlled water bath. White birch wood exhibited lower proportional limit stress, smaller modulus of elasticity (MOE), and lower failure stress, but higher proportional strain and failure strain than ash wood. At 20 degrees C, bending of air-dried wood on the tangential direction exhibited much smaller mechanical variation than that on the radial direction. The proportional limit stress, MOE, and failure stress of water-saturated wood were much smaller than those of air-dried wood, while failure strain was much higher. Evidenced by the almost constant proportional limit strain, plastic bending deformation of water-saturated wood happened to a great extent. As the temperature elevated at 20-100 degrees C, MOE, proportional limit stress, and failure stress of water-saturated wood decreased while proportional limit strain, failure strain, and wood toughness increased. Variation in proportional limit strain resulting from temperature change was ignorable, evidencing that elevated temperature enhanced wood plastic deformation. Furthermore, white birch wood was more susceptible to temperature over 40 degrees C than ash wood in terms of toughness. Under water-saturated condition, both species exhibited excellent bending performance at relatively high temperature.
