“…The relationship regarding joint strength in chipboard construction as a function of the number of fasteners used in the construction has been investigated (Liu and Eckelman 1996). Withdrawal strength of fasteners has been explored (Vassiliou and Barboutis 2005). The behavior of the dowels and L joints (Tas 2010) and lamina in chipboard and MDF boards (Atar et al 2009), as well as its behavior in combination with honeycomb panel constructions (Petutschnigg et al 2004), has been described.…”

This study focuses on the use of demountable furniture joints in combination with 38-mm-thick honeycomb panels. These fittings were incorporated into L-shaped corner joints and then tested to determine their bending moment capacity. Overall, seven combinations of demountable fittings were tested. These groups of connectors consisted of solution non-glued, partly-glued connectors, and fully-glued connectors. All of the connectors were positioned in the test samples as they are commonly located in furniture construction. The highest capacities were obtained with glued connectors, followed by partly glued and then non-glued connectors. The difference in capacity between the inside and outside positions was insignificant for the non-glued and fullyglued connectors. A large difference between connectors in different positions was found for the partly glued connectors and for the second type of unglued connectors. The modes of failure were analyzed for each connector, and the possibilities for use in construction are described.

The main objective of this study is to find the most suitable detachable joint for plywood details. Connecting fittings of different type were tested under failure loads. Both tensile and shear tests were used. The test specimens are made from 21 mm thick birch plywood. Lamello AG products Clamex P10, Clamex P15, and Invis Mx and Minifix connectors with dowel as joint type have been used. The test results showed that the Invis Mx has the highest average strength value in tensile test and Minifix with beech dowel in shear test. Based on the test results, the best fitting for connecting plywood boards was determined.

“…The stability of furniture depends on how well the connection points are assembled using fasteners. The holding capacities of fasteners used to fasten wood-based composite boards, such as particle boards and fiber boards, have been investigated by some researchers [10][11][12][13][14]. These researchers investigated the relationships between some of the properties of wood-based panels and the screw-holding capacity.…”

Solid wood and wood-based composite panels are used to produce different types of furniture. In the connection points of furniture, some different types of fasteners, such as screws, minifix, and dowels, are used to assemble the parts of the furniture. Melamine-faced fiber board (MF-FB) and melamine faced particle board (MF-PB) are used extensively in the production of furniture. In this study, we determined the screw withdrawal strength and screw head pullthrough of MF-FB and MF-PB. Tests were conducted on the surfaces and edges according to ASTM D1037-12. The data that were obtained indicated that the screw holding capacity of MF-PB was greater than that of MF-FB. Also, the screw holding capacity was greater on the surfaces of both MF-PB and MF-FB than it was on the edges. In addition, screw head pull-through was greater than that of direct screw withdrawal in both MF-PB and MF-FB.
