Non-linear analysis of dowelled timber connections: a new approach for embedding modelling

A finite element modelling is developed to analyse the behaviour of timber connections taking into account the plastic behaviour of the timber beneath the fasteners. The local non linearities control the stiffness and the load-carrying capacity of the timber joints. It results in interaction effect...
