This PhD thesis treats modeling of the hygromechanical response of wood. To do so it is crucial to have accurate models for the moisture transport. Moisture transport in the cellular structure of wood consists of a combination of water vapor transport and bound water transport. In present work these are modeled as two diffusion equations, which are coupled through sorption. Such a model is able to describe so-called non-Fickian effects. Sorption is known to be hysteretic, which must be taken into account in order to describe changes of the moisture content in relation to water...
