A contribution to the description of the mechanical behaviour of veneer using a linear-elastic orthotropic material model. Bernd Bellair, Andreas Dietzel, Martin Zimmermann, Hendrike Raßbach, Klaus Zimmermann. “Problems of Mechanics”. Tbilisi, 2012, ¹ 4(49), pp. 11-21, (Engl.).

The product development process as well as the production of laminated veneer lumber used for chairs and design objects is traditionally based on the experience of the staff. Such an experience based approach for developing forming tools and manufacturing sample parts requires an iterative process. Sample parts are checked for cracks and other optical defects (in-plane contraction) and changes to the 3D-design are made in collaboration with the designers. These iterations are essential until a high quality product is the result. In order to save time and money in the product development process, the feasibility of an initial 3D-design should be checked by means of simulation.

This article presents a methodology for the identification of material parameters on red beech veneer and the use of these characteristics in material models and failure criteria. The objective is to create the basis for the description of the mechanical behaviour of veneer under different climatic conditions, in order to simulate the 3D-forming process of laminated veneer lumber. Initially, the specific properties of veneer and the continuum mechanical principles are presented. Based on this, an appropriate experimental methodology and data processing is introduced. The results of the experiments are discussed and compared with simulation results. 9 ill. Bibl. 21. Engl.; sum. in Russian.

STRAIN CONTINUITY EQUATIONS IN CASE OF A PLANE PROBLEM IN STRESSES. N. Berishvili, N. Tsignadze, N. Medzmariashvili. Problems of Mechanics”. Tbilisi, 2012, ¹ 4(49), pp. 98-100, (Engl.).

In the theory of elasticity, only a single equation that expresses relation between longitudinal relative strains and angular strains remains from the system of strain continuity equations in case of a plane problem, i.e. where the influence of the third coordinate can be neglected. In the classical elasticity theory, Hooke’s generalized law is used for expressing the continuity equations by stresses. Therefore, the stresses appearing in the continuity equations are partial stresses, upon which influence of normally directed loads are not reflected. In the present work, strains are expressed by so called full stresses, envisioning influence of the above mentioned loads. While the thus obtained Morris Levi condition is similar as to form, the stresses included therein have different physical essence whatsoever. Bibl. 4. Engl.; sum. in Russian. 

 

PROPERTY OF  AND FUNCTIONS AT CONSTANT VOLUME FORCES. N. Berishvili, N. Tsignadze, N. Medzmariashvili. Problems of Mechanics”. Tbilisi, 2012, ¹ 4(49 ), pp. 101-103,  (Engl.).

It is known from the classical theory of elasticity that functions expressing the first invariant of volume strain and  stress state are harmonic functions. Differential equations of equilibrium expressed by means of displacements wherein the associations between the stresses and strains depend upon Lame’s elastic constants were used for proving this tenet. In the present work, a new sort of differential equations of equilibrium is used that involves associations between real stresses and strains, and the first invariant  of the stresses state is considered to be the sum of full normal stress. In spite of this difference it is shown that and functions as well are harmonic functions. Bibl. 3. Engl.; sum. in Russian.
