Abstract

Dimensional stability is one of the most important properties of lumber. Shrinkage is especially critical in this regard. In this study, longitudinal, radial and tangential shrinkages in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) have been found to be 0.4, 3.3 and 5.7%, respectively, by means of three dimensional digital image correlation (3D DIC). Full field shrinkage data were extracted from two types of specimen. It was demonstrated that the 3D DIC method is a suitable method of providing localized shrinkage values. The shrinkages in the three anatomical dimensions exhibit different variation patterns from pith to bark. Detailed shrinkage measurements provided data for a better understanding and modeling of shrinkage within a tree stem, which could be useful for lumber distortion simulation.
