Drying Stress and Strain of Wood: A Review [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Wood drying stress causes various drying defects, which result from the wood microstructure and the transfer of heat and mass during the drying. It is the fundamental way to solve the problem of defects to clarify the law and mechanism of wood stress and

Progress in the Study of Dry Shrinkage Deformation and Drying Stress of Raw Bamboo
BioResourcesBamboo is a sustainable material that supports carbon sequestration and helps address the imbalance of timber supply vs. demand. Drying is a crucial step in bamboo processing, in the course of which shrinkage and stress accumulation can lead to defects ...

Drying patterns: Sensitivity to residual stresses [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2009 Volume alteration in solid materials is a common cause of material failure. Here we investigate the crack formation in thin elastic layers attached to a substrate. We show that small variations in the volume contraction and substrate restraint can produce widely different crack patterns ranging from spirals to complex hierarchical networks.

Heterogeneous Drying Stresses in Stratum Corneum [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 We study the drying of stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer and an essential barrier to mechanical and chemical stresses from the environment. Even though stratum corneum exhibits structural features across multiple length-scales, contemporary understanding of the mechanical properties of stratum corneum is based on the assumption that its ...

Dry eye disease and oxidative stress [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2017 AbstractDry eye, an age‐related condition, is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability. Environmental factors are also often implicated in dry eye including exposure to pollutants, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone as well as the chronic use of ...

Abscisic Acid Mediates Drought-Enhanced Rhizosheath Formation in Tomato
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The rhizosheath, commonly defined as soil adhering to the root surface, may confer drought tolerance in various crop species by enhancing access to water and nutrients under drying stress conditions.
