“…These forces were most often applied to screws or eccentrics in the form of screwing moments, usually with screwdrivers [ 27 , 28 , 29 ]. In the paper [ 30 ], the furniture screws and fasteners and the moments of their drive-in values on the strength and durability of drawer runners were investigated. The authors calculated the optimal driven-in screws moment during the mounting of fasteners and hinges to the furniture body.…”

This study aimed to numerically and experimentally analyze the effects of internal mounting forces and selected materials on the stiffness and bending moment capacity of L-type corner joints connected with novelty-designed 3D printed fasteners. The experiments were carried out using medium-density fiberboard, high-density fiberboard, beech plywood, particleboard, and beech (Fagus silvatica L.) wood. The results showed that the joints made of beech wood were characterized by the largest bending moment capacity (12.34 Nm), while the worst properties were shown by particleboard (2.18 Nm). The highest stiffness was demonstrated by plywood joints (6.56 kNm/rad), and the lowest by particleboard (0.42 kNm/rad). Experimental studies have reasonably verified the results of numerical calculations. The test results confirmed that the geometry of new fasteners promotes the mounting forces under the assembly of the joints. It was shown that the higher the density of the materials, the greater the value of the mounting forces (164 N–189 N).

“…This tendency is proportional to the number of used fasteners [10,[33][34][35][36][37]; • Influence of distribution of fasteners. For instance, for double dowel joint the most effective dowel distribution equals 96 mm [38][39][40][41][42]; • Influence of fastener/joint geometry on joint stiffness. The increase in fastener length and diameter results in joint strength improvement, although increasing length is more effective [6,36,43,44].…”

Mechanical Properties of Corner Joints Made of Honeycomb Panels with Double Arrow-Shaped Auxetic Cores

The development of both light and strong wood-derived materials is an interesting research area, particularly in terms of usability in, e.g., furniture constructions. Honeycomb panels being current industry standard are relatively thick (32 mm and 40 mm), thus their attractiveness in designing furniture is limited. In a few studies, it has been shown that honeycomb panels with paper cores are characterized by unsatisfactory mechanical properties, especially when the composite thickness is less than 20 mm. From the literature, it is also evident that mechanical properties might be improved by introducing auxetic features into the core structure. Even though it is a concept with great potential, there are a few studies dealing with honeycomb panels with auxetic cores made of paper. Furthermore, there is no research on the corner joints made from such material. For this reason, the aim of the study was to test the bending behavior of the corner adhesive joints made of honeycomb panels with double arrow-shaped auxetic cores. Within the research, the core cell was adopted based on literature and preliminary studies, paper auxetic cores were produced by the use of the designed and 3d printed device, and joints stiffness and strength were calculated analytically based on the experiment results. Evaluated corner joints stiffness, both in compression and tension test, is greater for samples made of panels with designed auxetic cores. Surprisingly, in the analyzed range of elasticity, it was statistically proved that the values of joint stiffness coefficient K did not vary significantly between compared joints pairs.

“…In the furniture industry, several tests and certifications are used to evaluate the whole furniture construction, such as analysis of the strength of angle joints in case furniture using the finite element method (İmirzi and Efe 2013) and the durability of furniture subassemblies (Smardzewski and Majewski 2014;Uysal et al 2015). Rigidity tests of furniture construction are also commonly conducted in terms of the applied joint, such as confirmat screws (Smardzewski and Ożarska 2005).…”

Specific reliability parameters are used to determine the durability and safety of a furniture structure. An experimental study was conducted to determine the probability of failure free time and compare the reliability and hazard rates of selected joints used in case furniture. The investigations were performed on samples of joints with a connector of the screw, dowel, or eccentric type. Altogether, 600 samples were tested. The reliability tests were conducted on a specially designed laboratory stand. The reliability characteristics of the individual joints were used to designate the most reliable type of joint. The hazard rate of the dowel joint was about 8 times that of the confirmat screw joint. In the case of the eccentric joint, the hazard rate was as much as 57 times higher than it was for the screw joint. The test method presented here for determining the reliability of joints aid in the selection of a connector type during case furniture design.
