Experimental verification and nonlinear modeling of truss-plate joints by Runge-Kutta numerical technique

Creator:

Groom, Leslie

Abstract:

The growing use of light-frame wood trusses in the residential and commercial construction has generated the need for general analysis procedures for predicting deformations and ultimate load of truss-plate joints, which are the basis for accurate evaluation of structural performance and design of complete truss assemblies. This dissertation was aimed...

Mechanical stresses in trees resulting from strain compatibility in an anisotropic material

Creator:

Lyons, Charles Kevin

Abstract:

Consider the bole of a tree to consist of a linear elastic material that is orthotropic with respect to the cylindrical coordinates. When the bole of a tree is subjected to resultant loads in the directions of the Cartesian base vectors, the S₁₁, S₂₂, S₃₃, and S₁₂ stresses in Cartesian...
