Analysis of the Internal Mounting Forces and Strength of Newly Designed Fastener to Joints Wood and Wood-Based Panels

This study aimed to numerically and experimentally analyze the effects of internal mounting forces and selected materials on the stiffness and bending moment capacity of L-type corner joints connected with novelty-designed 3D printed fasteners. The experiments were carried out using medium-density fiberboard, high-density fiberboard, beech plywood, particleboard, and beech (Fagus silvatica L.) wood. The results showed that the joints made of beech wood were characterized by the largest bending moment capacity (12.34 Nm), while the worst properties were shown by particleboard (2.18 Nm). The highest stiffness was demonstrated by plywood joints (6.56 kNm/rad), and the lowest by particleboard (0.42 kNm/rad). Experimental studies have reasonably verified the results of numerical calculations. The test results confirmed that the geometry of new fasteners promotes the mounting forces under the assembly of the joints. It was shown that the higher the density of the materials, the greater the value of the mounting forces (164 N–189 N).
