This article presents a microscale modelling approach coupled with X-ray
computed micro-tomography for the evaluation of material properties of polylactic acid (PLA)
reinforced by birch pulp fibers under the effect of moisture. The results in terms of elastic
moduli and hygroexpansion deformation were found in good agreement with the measurements
taken at different levels of water uptake.
