Abstract(s)

Punched metal plate fasteners (nail plates) are currently the top choice in the wooden-truss industry because of its high mechanical capacity and easy automated assembly. Here, a computational modelling is proposed to evaluate the force distribution within the plate’s anchorage area and in the rupture lines, a structural system that in most cases is highly hyperestatic and does not feature an analytical solution. This method can be applied to areas with multiple gaps (rupture lines) and therefore its analysis is discussed from a quantitative and qualitive point of view.
