| Abstract |
This paper was performed to present material model and finite element analysis method applied yield criteria in numerical analysis of traditional wooden joint using 3D non-linear and orthotropic material. Wood was considered as orthotropic non-linear elasto-plastic material. It was used Hill’s yield criterion, a generalized version of von Mises yield criterion, to decide orthotropic yield criteria. Uniaxial compression and shear tests were performed to determine the coefficient of stiffness matrix. Numerical analysis for the uniaxial tensile loading of dovetail joint was simulated by using Abaqus-explicit 6.10 and slopes of force-displacement curve were compared with experimental results to verify the accuracy of numerical analysis. |
