Coupled and uncoupled nonlinear elastic finite element models formonotonically loaded sheathing-to-framing joints in timber based shear walls

Vessby, Johan ; Serrano, Erik LU orcid and Olsson, Anders (2010) In Engineering Structures 32(11). p.3433-3442
Abstract
<p>Four different elastic models for sheathing-to-framing connections are presented and evaluated on asingle connection level and on a shear wall level. Since the models are elastic in their nature they aresuitable mainly for cases where the sheathing-to-framing connections are subjected to monotonicallyincreasing displacements. Of the four models one is uncoupled and the others are coupled with respect tothe two perpendicular displacement directions in a two-dimensional model. Two of the coupled modelsare non-conservative, while the third is conservative, indicating a path independency with respect to thework done to reach a defined state of deformation. When the different models are compared it is obviousthat the uncoupled model... (More)
