In recent architectural research, thin wooden bilayer laminates capable of self-actuation in response to humidity changes have been proposed as sustainable, programmed, and fully autonomous elements for facades or roofs for shading and climate regulation. Switches, humidistats, or motor elements represent further promising applications. Proper wood-adapted prediction models for actuation, however, are still missing. Here, a simple model that can predict bending deformation as a function of moist ...[more]
