Abstract (EN):
Three point bending tests indicate that elastic modulus diminishes linearly with moisture content, at a rate dependent of the ageing time. On the other hand, it seems that any curve modulus versus time of ageing for specific moisture content can be vertically shifted to coincide with other curves. A comparison of the DSC and bending tests data in the present work suggests that the ageing rate constants are not the same.
