Experimental and Numerical Simulation Study on the Mechanical Properties of Integrated Sleeve Mortise and Tenon Steel–Wood Composite Joints by Zhanguang Wang, Weihan Yang, Zhenyu Gao, Jianhua Shao, Dongmei Li

“…The initial rotational stiffness of the joints reinforced with angle steel and self-tapping screws, the joints reinforced with 4 mm thick steel sleeves, and the joints reinforced with 6 mm thick steel sleeves are 3.96, 6.99, and 13.62 times that of the pure wooden joints, while the ultimate bending moments are 1.97, 7.11, and 7.39 times, respectively. Using finite element software to simulate four groups of joints to observe their stress changes, the areas with high stress in the joints without sleeve reinforcement are mainly located at the upper and lower ends of the tenon, where the compressive stress at the upper edge of the tenon and the tensile stress at the lower flange are both distributed along the grain direction of the beam. …”
