Dependence of Microcrack Behavior in Wood on Moisture Content during Drying

Figure 5

Sequential images showing propagation of microcrack in relation to surface electrical resistivity and surface moisture content calculated from regression equations: (1) before microcrack emerges, surface moisture content was above FSP, (2) immediately after microcrack emerges, surface moisture content was around FSP, (3) microcrack develops, (4) largest microcrack, (5) microcrack closes, and (6) residual microcrack.
