The three-dimensional corner joint is a type of in wooden furniture structures with complex parameter relationships and many constraints. Traditional structure design requires repeated modifications geometric models to determine dimensions, which inefficient challenging severely impacts the development digital manufacture process. Based on ideal value range mortise–tenon joints, this study deri...

For a long time, the geometry dimensions of tenons have been designed through empirical methods, which is not beneficial to designers and manufacturers results in more time spent construction greater amount waste wood materials. In this study, an optimal methodology combining finite element analysis (FEA) with response surface method (RSM) was proposed investigate effect tenon geometric (length...

This study investigated the bending moment resistance of T-type, two-pin dowel joints connected with Scotch pine (Pinus slyvestris), beech (Fagus orientalis), chestnut (Castanea sativa) and oak (Quercus petraea) reinforced basalt glass woven fabric. The tests was carried out to determine joints. As a result test, it determined that one layer two surfaces reinforce fiber fabrics increases mechan...

This paper details tests on steel-wood-steel connections with thin dowels carried out at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Connections configurations were selected in such a way that the influence of the main parameters such as dowel slenderness ratio, dowel strength, fastener spacing and end distance and the number of dowels could be studied. An important issue of the pa...
