Tensile Performance of Traditional and Modern Corner Joints in Wooden Structures

Drvna industrija, 2022

Corner joints are critical points of wooden structures not only in furniture construction but also in traditional wooden architecture, especially in constructions without nails. This study was performed to determine the effects of particular factors such as the axis of assembly, types of material, and adhesive on the tensile performance of various modern and traditional types of wooden corner joints. For this purpose, various corner joint specimens were prepared with three different wooden materials: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris Lipsky) wood, Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra Lipsky) wood, and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) using two different adhesives: polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and polyurethane (Desmodur-VTKA) glues; and five different wooden joint types: dowel, tongue-and-groove, half-blind dovetail, screw, and eccentric screw joints. Tensile performance tests, vertical and parallel to the axis of assembly, were carried out according to ASTM D 1037 guidelines. Experiments indicated ...

Enhancement of load-carrying capacity of corner joints in case-type furniture

Materials & Design, 2012

In this study, the failure loads of L-type corner joints in case-type furniture have been analyzed experimentally and statistically in laminated medium-density fiberboard material. The failure loads of five corner joints have been analyzed experimentally under tension and compression moments; these joint types are glass-fiber composite layer (C), dowel (D), dowel + composite layer (DC), dowel + minifix (DM), and dowel + minifix + composite layer (DMC). The test results were analyzed statistically by Weibull distribution to obtain a 95% reliability level for failure load. Tests were carried out according to ASTM Standards. Results show that the failure load takes its highest value in the DMC case for both average values of the test results and for 95% reliability under Weibull distribution. On the other hand, it takes its lowest value in the D case. In addition, the 95% reliability value for each corner joint configuration is approximately equivalent to the 0.53 average value of the failure load.

Evaluation the effects of edge banding type and thickness on the strength of corner joints in case-type furniture

Materials & Design, 2010

Edge banding is used to cover the exposed sides of wood materials such as plywood, particleboard or medium-density fiberboard, giving the appearance of a solid (or more valuable) material. This study was carried out to determine the effects of the edge banding material, namely polyvinyl chloride (PVC), melamine and wood veneer, thickness of edge banding material (0.4, 1, and 2 mm), and wood composite panel type on the diagonal compression and tension strength properties of particleboard surfaced with synthetic resin sheet (LamPb) and MDF surfaced with synthetic resin sheet (LamMDF).

Load-carrying capacity of mitered furniture corner joints with

2014

Th e goal of this study was to introduce a method for estimating stress analysis as an effi cient procedure for evaluating the strength of mitered corner joints in furniture structures. Tests were carried out to determine the eff ects of panel type, distance between the centers of dovetail holes and the edges of joints (10, 20, and 30 mm), and type of dovetail key on the load-carrying capacity of mitered corner joints under a diagonal tension load. Specimens were constructed of overlaid medium-density fi berboard (LamMDF) and particleboard (LamPb) and connected with butterfl y and H-shaped dovetail keys. Polyvinyl acetate adhesive was used to assemble the joints. Specimens were tested under diagonal tension loads and the corresponding combined stress analysis was conducted using the following formulas: Total stress at the outer edge, Total stress at the inner edge, where σb is bending stress, σa is axial stress, P is axial failure load, L is half of the span length, and t and b are the thickness and width of the joint members. Test results showed that corner joints constructed of LamMDF were 13% stronger than joints constructed of LamPb. For the specimens constructed of both panel types, a 10-mm distance between the dovetail holes and the edges of joints gave better results than distances of 20 and 30 mm. No signifi cant diff erences were observed between the 2 types of dovetail keys. Total compression stresses at the outer edge were 2 times greater than the total tension stresses at the inner edge of the joints.

Analysis of factors affecting diagonal tension and compression capacity of corner joints in furniture frames fabricated with dovetail key

Journal of Forestry Research, 2013

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of joint type, and numbers and types of dovetail keys on diagonal tension and compression performance of corner joints in a furniture frame. Joint members were cut from white fir lumber. Butted and mitered joints were constructed with one and two dovetail key(s) with butterfly and H shapes. Joints were glued by polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and cynoacrylate (CA). Compression capacity of joints was higher than diagonal tension. Mitered joints were stronger than butted ones. Butterfly dovetail keys were superior to H shape keys. Double keys performed better than single key. Experimental joints glued with PVAc were stronger than those glued with CA glue and control specimens. In terms of strength, butterfly dovetailed joints were comparable with doweled joints.

Determination of Bending Moment of L-Type Corner Joints Used in Chair Production and Their Effects on Mechanical Performance of Chairs

2020

The objective of the study was to determine the mechanical performance of L-type joints and chairs produced using mortise-tenon and dowel-joint techniques by diagonal compression tests and diagonal tensile tests. Two types of corner-joints were prepared from beech wood at the laboratory, which was mortise-tenon and dowel joints. Two grooved dowels were used in the dowel joints. The corner-joint samples were subjected to diagonal compression and tensile tests at the universal testing machine. The chairs were produced from these corner-joints, and their mechanical performance tested using furniture test equipment in accordance with EN 1728 standard. The mortise-tenon joint in the diagonal tensile testing had the highest bending moment with an average value of 673.28 Nm while the dowel-joint had the lowest bending moment in the diagonal compression testing with an average value of 75.36 Nm. A load-bearing capacity of 673.28 Nm was obtained from diagonal tensile testing, and 95.54 Nm wa...

Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW. Forestry and Wood Technology, 2015

The Strength Determination of Corner joints used for Wooden Windows. The work is aimed at the methodical procedure assessment of rectangular corner joints applied on window casement and its strength. Mechanical properties of testing samples are further evaluated by universal testing machine. For this reason a component necessary for fixing corner joints has been designed. The testing samples are loaded by bending moment with tensile and compressive forces. The values obtained in testing are further used in final equations for calculating the values of joint stiffness and bending moment capacity of which will help to decide which joint is preferable for construction applications.
