- Abstract
- In this master’s thesis, the possibility of increasing the load bearing capacity of glued timber joints by the use of a rubber foil was investigated. A rubber foil is believed to ensure a more uniform distribution of stresses and thereby greater load bearing capacity.
The work within this master’s thesis consisted of developing material models for rubber based on experimental tests in order to enable analyses of interesting applications. Results from finite element analyses indicate an almost uniform shear stress distribution along a glued in rod, both at short term and long term loading.
