  • “WHILE THERE EXISTS EXTENSIVE LITERATURE ON CONCRETE CREEP AND SHRINKAGE, THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR WOOD AND ENGINEERED TIMBER PRODUCTS. THIS LIMITS THE ABILITY OF DESIGNERS TO EVALUATE LONG TERM, DIFFERENTIAL DISPLACEMENTS IN HYBRID SYSTEMS AND HAMPERS THE DURABILITY AND SERVICEABILITY OF THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURES. TO ADDRESS THIS, THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS PROPOSED WORK IS TO DEVELOP A DATA-DRIVEN MULTISCALE AND MULTIPHYSICS CLOUD FRAMEWORK FOR THE PREDICTION OF LONG-TERM BEHAVIOR OF MASS TIMBER. TOWARDS THIS GOAL, THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ARE TO FORMULATE AND VALIDATE A MULTISCALE MODEL FOR MOISTURE TRANSPORT, HEAT TRANSFER, AND CREEP THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE MORPHOLOGY OF WOOD INTERNAL STRUCTURE; TO OBTAIN EXPERIMENTAL CREEP DATA OF WOOD AND TIMBER PRODUCTS AT MULTIPLE LENGTH SCALES AND VARIABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS; AND TO IMPLEMENT THE VALIDATED FRAMEWORK IN THE OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECT CHRONO AND TO DEPLOY THE FRAMEWORK IN THE AZURE CLOUD. THE RESEARCH TEAM AT UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WILL ASSIST CUSATIS COMPUTATIONAL SERVICES INC. (CCS) IN THIS EFFORT BY DEVELOPING A DATABASE OF EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR MODEL VALIDATION. DETAILS FOR EXACT TESTING ARE INCLUDED IN THE SECTIONS BELOW.”
