Friction welding of wood is a bonding technology that can be used for joining timber elements, and in which the adhesive is formed from thermally modified cell wall material within the substrate during the welding process. In this paper, this principle is ...

Moment resisting connections composed of friction-welded spruce boards: experimental investigations and numerical strength prediction

Yves Weinand, Till Vallée, Bernhard Stamm, Benjamin Hahn

Research on friction welded wood-to-wood connections has shown high potential for further development regarding the industrial application of timber construction. This paper addresses the question to which extent welding of wood can be applied to fabricati ...

Wood-to-wood bonds obtained by means of friction welding are a relatively new type of connections holding high potential to compete with existing structural adhesives, since a load bearing bond is formed almost instantaneously. This paper addresses the que ...

Numerical modelling and strength prediction of welded double lap joints made of timber

Yves Weinand, Till Vallée, Bernhard Stamm, Benjamin Hahn

Welding of wood is a relatively new method of joining load bearing elements, which holds the potential to compete with structural adhesion, since it allows for an almost instantaneous bond. First experimental and numerical investigations showed that failur ...

Optimum thickness of joints made of GFRP pultruded adherends and polyurethane adhesive

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée

This paper presents results of experimental and numerical investigations on double-lap joints composed of pultruded GFRP profiles and polyurethane adhesive subjected to quasi-static axial tensile loading. The objective was to investigate the effect of the ...

Shear resistance of lightweight concrete core of FRP-concrete sandwich structure

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Erika Schaumann

This paper presents a model to predict the shear resistance of the unreinforced lightweight concrete core of a recently developed hybrid sandwich concept for bridge decks. The sandwich skins consist of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheet for t ...

Adhesively bonded joints composed of pultruded adherends: considerations at the upper tail of material strength statistical distribution

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée

The Weibull distribution, used to describe the scaling of strength of materials, has been verified on a wide range of materials and geometries; however, the quality of the fitting tended to be less good towards the upper tail. Based on a previously develop ...
