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...

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...
