Stiffness of dowel-type timber connections under pre-yield oscillating loads

“…The reduced stiffness at R=-1 includes the slip due to the oversize of the Reynolds et al [22] showed that the stiffness of the embedment test could around the hole edge, and is therefore reflected in the coefficients a n and b n , in Figure 7.…”

“…tion stiffness is to be represented by an equivalent linear elastic stiffness, as 22 is the case in most structural engineering analysis, then that stiffness must 23 be chosen to be appropriate to the nature of the applied load. This study 24 investigates the stiffness of dowel-type connections under the cyclic loads re-…”
