In this study the static (µe) and kinetic (µd) coefficients of friction were obtained for Pinus sylvestis L. sawn timber Spanish origin. Friction between transverse surfaces sliding perpendicular to grain (tangential direction) radial parallel was analyzed. A specifically designed device used tests, which makes it possible apply contact pressure measure displacements applied loads simultaneously. Coefficients (µe = 0,24; µd 0,17) about twice 0,12; 0,08). Furthermore, these values are located...
The design of engineering high value-added products and timber structures analysis requires reliable elastic characteristics related to a theoretical model that describes the behavior wood material.The present research focuses on determining constants Eucalyptus globulus Labill., which allow their implementation as input parameters in any numerical model.The great potential this species for novel structural applications was considered due its superior mechanical properties.Two different...
Eucalyptus globulus Labill stands out as one of the hardwood species produced in Europe with prominent mechanical properties, which is undergoing a growing interest extending added value. The development engineered wood products this and its application timber structures involving numerical finite element simulations requires knowledge properties for different orthotropic material directions. aim present study to determine main E. from small clear specimens, necessary models. work provides...
The double-step joint is among the most frequently used layouts, within carpentry joints, for transmitting higher forces that would allow a single notch. They are especially effective in heavy timber structures. Nowadays, computer-aided manufacturing being more often, demanding further progress its understanding. conventional design of these joints conducted by using simplifying assumptions, particular regarding shear stress distribution. This overcome use strength reduction coefficient,...
