Finite Element Modelling of the Effect of Adhesive Z-Connections on the Swelling of a Laminated Wood Composite

This study used finite element analysis (FEA) to model the effects of adhesive Z-connections on the thickness swelling of laminated wood composites exposed to water. We hypothesized that the area density, diameter, and spatial distribution of adhesive Z-connections will influence the ability of Z-co...
