Wood–Water Relations of Thermally Treated Pleated Beech and Oak Wood

Pleating (20% compression) is a thermo-hydromechanical modification that improves wood pliability but markedly increases longitudinal dimensional instability. This study evaluates the combined effects of pleating, fixation (maintaining the compressed state for 5 h), and subsequent thermal treatment (160 and 200 °C) on...
