Abstract
New European standards require a significant improvement of finger-joints (to make them consistent) in wooden lamellas. Industries have to look for new solutions to strengthen finger joints. Among other techniques such as modified glues, the optimization of the finger-joints profile geometry is one means to achieve better connection in wooden constructions. OptWood aims to develop a computational method to perform profile optimization for finger joint geometries. Currently finger-joints are mostly investigated using experimental methods and commercial finite element packages. These previous work focuses on the characterization of existing finger-joints. In this project advanced mathematical algorithms and simulation models will be developed that allow the optimization of finger-joint geometries taking into account both existing and newly developed European standards and production cost efficiency. A prerequisite for any optimization is a fast numerical solution technique for the direct ...
