How to predict stress magnitudes due to moisture changes?

Woodworking Asked by Christian Convey on January 27, 2021

There’s lots of published data that characterize dimensional changes to wood as its moisture content changes. But in all of those publications, they seem to use a free-standing piece of wood.

But are there any datasets showing how much force is generated when a piece of wood cannot freely expand/contract in response to that various factors known to result in dimensional changes?

This question is inspired by several DIY projects I’ve worked on. For those projects I wanted to know how I could nail / glue / screw / etc. certain pieces of wood to other, more dimensionally stable materials, in order to limit the wood’s dimensional changes. But the question I’m asking here is a little more academic.
