This thesis is dedicated to the simulation of the fracture behavior of wood under long-termloading and variable relative humidity conditions. Indeed, wood is well-known to be a highlyhygroscopic material in so far as its mechanical and fracture properties are very dependenton moisture. Moreover, the stability of an existent crack in a structural element can bestrongly affected by the sudden variations of relative humidity (RH) and can lead tounexpected failure of the element.The thermodynamic approach proposed in this thesis includes the mechano-sorptive effect inthe analytical expression of the deformation, by operating a decoupling of the strain in amechanical part and a mechano-sorptive part in material. Moreover, the quasi-brittle fract...
