| Summary: | The cantilevered leg joint commonly used in modern wood furniture was studied by numerical and experimental methods. A novel joint was proposed and compared with the typical joint commonly used in the cantilevered leg. Both of them were made of beech wood (Fagus orientalis Lipsky). The experimental results showed that the bending moment capacity of the novel joint was remarkably higher than the typical joints, which confirmed that the novel structure had a better mechanical performance. The numerical analysis was conducted according to GB/T 10357.3 standard, the results showed that the stresses of the typical joint were mainly concentrated on the wooden components, while the stresses of the novel joint were concentrated on the metal connectors. The stress concentration obtained by the finite element method (FEM) was consistent with the failure modes of the experimental tests, which provides a reliable method for evaluating and optimizing the novel furniture structure. |
