  1. 11. Moisture-induced crack development in timber beams : a parametric study performed on dowelled timber connections

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Tadios Sisay Habite; [2017]
    Keywords : Moisture; Crack; Extended finite element; Parametric study;

    Abstract : A problem has been observed by many researchers regarding the cracks caused mainly by moisture variation in timber structures. However, this effect has been neglected over the past decades. READ MORE

  3. 12. Self-modelling organizer for interior storage

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Shuang Hansen; [2017]
    Keywords : Interior organiser; Self-modelling; Dowel; Dimension; Pegboard.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Today's urbanization creates big cities. More and more people are facing the problem with the increasing housing prices, and they had often to live in small or shared apartments. Most of the kitchens in those apartments are often small, which leads to a increasing need to use the available space in a more efficient way. READ MORE

  4. 13. Glued timber connections : Experimental and numerical study of tension behavior under various influencing parameters

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT); Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Shengmin Xu; Peiwei Tan; [2015]
    Keywords : Adhesive; dowel; timber; glued timber connections; finite element model; tension; ABAQUS;

    Abstract : Glued connections are relatively new in structural timber engineering. They are expected to show high connection stiffness as well as a high connection strength compared to mechanical connections e.g. dowel‐type connections. READ MORE

  5. 14. Finite Element Modelling of Fracture in dowel-type timber connections

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Hui Jin; Hao Wu; [2014]
    Keywords : Dowel; timber; fracture mechanics; mean stress method; finite element model; bending; XFEM; ABAQUS;

    Abstract : Dowel-type steel to timber connections are commonly used in timber structure. The load carrying capacity and the stress distribution within the connection area are complicated and the failure behavior of a connection depends on many parameters. READ MORE

  6. 15. Structural analysis of the 17th century warship Vasa : Influence of the dowels on the stiffness of the hull

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Marina Muñoz García; Juan Carlos Hurtado Sierra; [2014]
    Keywords : Vasa; Wasa; FEA; dowel; hull; deformation; support;

    Abstract : After 333 years under depths of the Baltic Sea, the warship Vasa was salvaged and nowadayslies in a dry dock inside the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. Its current support system, which consists on eighteen cradle-stanchions pairs of steel, is not able to handle the present loads in a satisfactory manner. READ MORE
