METHODS OF RAPIDLY SIMULATING IN SERVICE WARP DISTORTION OF A WOOD PRODUCT AND/OR RAPIDLY ESTIMATING SHRINKAGE PROPERTIES USING ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY

摘要

Methods are provided for rapidly simulating "in-service" warp distortion of a wood product. Methods are also provided for rapidly estimating shrinkage properties of a wood product by using electromagnetic energy to dry and redistribute absorbe d water in the wood product.
