✦ Synopsis

It has been possible to interpret the characteristics of viscoelastic behavior of wood under moisture change cycles based on the hypothesis that the looseness between the S 1 and $2 layers in the microstructure of the cell wall caused a slippage between them during drying. A viscoelastic bending model consisting of elementary models on the basis of the hypothesis was proposed. Creep and recovery deflection under moisture change cycles were simulated with computer by the use of the bending model. The characteristics of the viscoelastic deflection obtained from the simulation agreed well with those of published experimental results.
