Exploring the Mechanical Behavior of a Traditional Japanese Joint for Flexible Structural Design

This research examines the mechanical behavior of a traditional Japanese joint, the Mortised Rabbeted Oblique (MRO) splice. Through computational simulations employing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the study examines a continuous beam and an unmodified MRO splice, revealing expected behavior in the...
