Contact Interaction of a Claw Washer with Wood at Limiting Shear
Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2020, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
When designing, manufacturing and maintaining of woodworks and elements of wooden structures it is necessary to solve the problem of providing the calculation of strength, stiffness and their bearing capacity. This problem becomes particularly relevant while reconstructing and new wooden house building, as the correct choice of connection type influences the technical possibility to use wood in the elements of structures. Such types of special connectors as claw washers, gang nails, dowel connections, etc. are used for these purposes. The existing range of claw washers implies different diameters, thicknesses, and claw configurations depending on the required bearing capacity and cross-sectional dimensions of sawn timber. The accepted physical model of wood is a transtropic body. The forces transmitted in the joints of the elements of wooden structures are perceived by the total contact surface of the mating elements. However, the work of individual teeth of claw washers has been poorly studied: research on influence of geometrical characteristics of the tooth on the bearing capacity of the connector is absent; variation in thickness of the connector is not assessed. A double-sided claw washer of the Bulldog type (prototype) with the diameter of 50 mm was adopted as the object of study. Various schemes of cutting of the claw washer with predetermined dimensions (width and height) of a triangular tooth are considered. The influence of dimensions on the bearing capacity of the thickness of claw washers is estimated within 1–1.5 mm. The main criterion for the selected cutting patterns is the ability to produce the washers by single-impact stamping without additional trimming. Double-sided claw washers of 5 different types with the number of cog-teeth from 8 to 12 items on each side were studied. A differential equation of the 4th order is accepted as a mathematical model of cog-tooth action. The equation describes the behavior of a dowel on an elastic base with a fixed value of bending stiffness EI. The transition to which was carried out from the variable value EI = f(x) by searching for the equivalent width of the cross-section from the bending conditions of the element of the triangular section of a variable directed normal to the frontal surface and a constant directed normal to the lateral surface.
