FE Modeling for Bolted Wood Connection Using a Porous Constitutive Model by Huazhang Zhou, Xiaoqiang Zhou

“…The failure modes, including the yielding of centre member, the yielding of side member, and the yielding of the bolt, as well as the rigid rotation of the bolt, all reappeared by the finite element modeling with the porous constitutive model. The predicted deformation shapes and load-displacement relations of bolted wood connections were compared with experimental ones, and good correlations were observed. …”
