Mechanical behaviour of wood T-joints. Experimental and numerical investigation by C.L. dos Santos, J.J.L. Morais, A.M.P. de Jesus

“…The load transfer between wood members was assured by means of a steel dowel, which is representative of the most common joining technique applied for structural details in wooden structures. The complete load-slip behaviour of the joint is obtained until failure. …”

Theoretical model of homogenized piezoelectric materials with small non-collinear periodic cracks by Jean M. Nianga, D. Marhabi

“…Starting from the variational formulation of the three-dimensional problem of linear piezoelectricity, we have at first obtained that concerning a cracked piezoelectric structure, before the implementation of homogenized equations for a piezoelectric structure with a periodic distribution of cracks. …”
