Abstract

Finite element method (FEM) was used to model the behavior of mortise and tenon joint with wood dowel subjected to pull-out loads. The stress-state in the dowel was observed and the type of failure was indentified according to European Yield Model (EYM). The experimental results from Rohana [6] were used to validate a three-dimensional finite element model of mortise and tenon joint. In this study, linear-elastic orthotropic material was adopted to represent the Kempas wood behavior in FEM. The analysis was conducted by introducing tensile loads on the top of tenon to see the behavior of the dowel. The EYM mode of failures and load–displacement curves were then being compared between FEM results and experimental results obtained by Rohana [6].
