Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of bending load capacity of timber beams using a finite element method simulation of knots and grain deviation
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element model was used to simulate timber beams with defects and predict their maximum load in bending taking into account the elastoplastic constitutive law of timber, the prediction of fracture load gives information about the mechanisms of timber failure, particularly with regard to the influence of knots and their local grain deviation, on the fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Stress State at the Cogging Joint in Timber Structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element-based analysis of carpentry joints between structural timber members is presented, which enables optimisation in the geometric definition of this type of joints, and reveals the importance of the effect of friction between the contacting surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the elastic constants of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood by means of compression tests
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic constants of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood from the “Valsain” sawmill (Segovia, Spain) were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Static and kinetic friction coefficients of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), parallel and perpendicular to grain direction
TL;DR: In this paper, the static and kinetic coefficients of friction were obtained for Pinus sylvestis L. sawn timber of Spanish origin and the results were considered preliminary due to the small number of specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Tali timber (Erythrophleum ivorense A. Chev., Erythrophleum suaveolens Brenan.): Assessment of strength and stiffness properties using visual and ultrasonic methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of 82 sawn pieces of Tali wood (Erythrophleum ivorense A. Chev., Erythophleum suaveolens Brenan) from Guinea and Cameroon were estimated using the EN 408 (2003) test standard.
