In Mr. Bosco's pub, all the woodwork was handcrafted with saws and planes, put together with mortise joints and hand-stained with natural pigments.
This study aims to identify the bending characteristics of the mortise-tenon joint and reinforced mortise-tenon joint inspired by the traditional timber structures.
Failure processes of the mortise-tenon joint and reinforced joint were similar, the vicinity of the mortise-tenon joint provided the main loading resistance.
The energy absorption (EA) and specific energy absorption (SEA) of mortise-tenon joint and reinforced joint under the in-plane bending were lower than those of the aluminum beam, whilst the EA and SEA of mortise-tenon joints under the out-of-plane bending were higher than those of the aluminum beam.
By comparison, for both the mortise-tenon joint and reinforced joint, load bearing and energy absorption capabilities under out-of-plane bending were higher than those under the in-plane bending.
While the designed mortise-tenon joint showed relatively lower load bearing capabilities compared with the aluminum beam under in-plane bending, the reinforced stiffeners could help improve the peak load.
A mortise and tendon joint is the most common joint used in furniture making.
Experimental investigation was carried out into the mortise-tenon joints through the in-plane and out-of-plane bending tests in comparison with the conventionally extruded aluminum beam.
The timber structure displayed visible rocking characteristics during the tests, and the column feet and mortise-tenon joints were the weak links in the structure.
It was also found that the detected frequencies highly relied on the intensity of the excitations (up to 59% in difference), possibly due to the transition between static and sliding frictions amongst wood members and the recoverable looseness of the mortise-tenon joints.
The Krupp cemented armor plates were sized to match the frames to provide support for their joints and they were locked together by a type of mortise and tenon joint to better distribute the shock of a shell's impact.
