Kavelalı mobilya köşe birleştirmelerinin sonlu elemanlar analizi

Sonlu elemanlar metodu (SEM) pratikte normal yöntemlerle sonucu bulunamayan veya çözümü zor mühendislik problemlerinin analizinde çok kullanılan nümerik bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmada SEM hakkında kısaca bilgi verilmiş ve kavelalı mobilya köşe birleştirmelerinin SEM ile modellenmesi yapılmıştır. Oluşturulan modeller ANSYS™ bilgisayar programı ile analiz edilmiştir. SEM mabilya tasarımcıları ve üreticileri için yardımcı olacağı şüphesizdir. Fakat ahşabın homojen olmayan yapısı ve birleştirmelerin lineer olmayan davranışları modelleme sırasında dikkate alınmalıdır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Finite element analysis of doweled furniture corner joints

The finite element method has become a common practice for analysis of problems that cannot be solved or solution is difficult in conventional methods. In this study, a brief information is given about the method and doweled furniture corner joints are modeled using this method. The models were analyzed using ANSYS™ commercial software. FEM is a important tool for furniture designers and manufacturers. However, it should be remembered that wood is not homogenous and the behavior of furniture joints is not linear.
