Laws Governing Free and Actual Drying Shrinkage of 50 mm Thick Mongolian Scotch Pine Timber

The relationships between free shrinkage and actual shrinkage of different layers in Mongolian Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica Litv.) were explored to provide basic data for the further study of drying shrinkage properties. The free shrinkage coefficients at different temperatures and t...
