- A dynamic elastoplastic compression model of Norway spruce for virtual computer optimization of mechanical pulping processes was developed. The empirical wood behaviour was fitted to a Voigt-Kelvin material model, which is based on quasi static compression and high strain rate compression tests (QSCT and HSRT, respectively) of wood at room temperature and at high temperature (80-100 degrees C). The effect of wood fatigue was also included in the model. Wood compression stress-strain curves have an initial linear elastic region, a plateau region and a densification region. The latter was not reached in the HSRT. Earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) contributions were considered separately. In the radial direction, the wood structure is layered and can well be modelled by serially loaded layers. The EW model was a two part linear model and the LW was modelled by a linear model, both with a strain rate dependent term. The model corresponds well to the measured values and this is the first compression model for EW and LW that is based on experiments under conditions close to those used in mechanical pulping.

- Energy efficiency of mechanical pulping is rather low. One possibility to facilitate design of more energy efficient defibration is to model and simulate wood compression. This paper presents an effort to model the behavior of Norwegian spruce in radial compression at defibration circumstances. To identify strain rate dependent properties, compression tests were conducted at both quasi-static conditions and at high strain rate. All tests were done at relevant moisture content and up to defibration zone temperatures and strain rates. Additionally the tests were performed both on native wood and on pre-fatigued wood to include behavior dependency of fatigue. The compression tests were monitored on fiber level to separately model behavior of early- and latewood. The chosen continuum model structure for earlywood and latewood was Voight-Kelvin to enable explicit viscous behavior conditioned by strain rate in parallel to the elastic behavior. The presented model is the first wood compression behavior model individually for earlywood and latewood that is based on wood experiments at industrial defibration circumstances. The influences of temperature and pre-fatigue rise are both softening as expected, The utilization of the compression model was demonstrated in an initial multilayered wood compression simulation.
