FE Modeling for Bolted Wood Connection Using a Porous Constitutive Model

Figure 5

Typical failure models of bolt connection with different thickness combinations both in tests and FE simulations: (a) combination 1: t_cm = 40 mm and t_sm = 30 mm; (b) combination 2: t_cm = 40 mm and t_sm = 10 mm; (c) combination 3: t_cm = 60 mm and t_sm = 30 mm; (d) combination 4: t_cm = 60 mm and t_sm = 60 mm.
