1. Adhesive Joints in Timber Engineering. Modelling and Testing of Fracture Properties
Abstract : This thesis, which is a compilation of seven papers, concerns the mechanical testing, numerical analysis and constitutive modelling of wood-adhesive bonds in timber engineering. Applications such as finger-joints, glued-laminated timber and glued-in rods are considered. READ MORE

2. Finger-Joints for Laminated Beams : Experimental and Numerical Studies of Mechanical Behaviour
Abstract : The introduction of laminated timber, glulam being an example, allowed many of the disadvantages associated with solid wood to be overcome. The disadvantages in question are mainly those related to the size and shape limits of structural elements made of solid wood and to the large variability in such material properties of solid wood as strength and stiffness.

3. Experimental characterization and numerical modeling of compression perpendicular to the grain in wood and cross-laminated timber
Abstract : Compression perpendicular to the grain (CPG) of wood is a typical loading situation in timber structures. It has been an extensively studied research topic for decades, due to the highly ductile behavior of wood under such loading, the large variations in mechanical properties, and the relevance of these properties in structural design.

4. Timber/Glass Adhesive Bonds for Structural Applications
Abstract : Timber with its natural appearance and glass with its transparency may be appealing material for architects and users of modern buildings. Glass is a brittle material, but it is about six times stiffer than timber. Combined appropriately, the materials could form different types of composite products, e.g. READ MORE

5. Fracture Behaviour of adhesive Joints in carton board
Abstract : A carton-board package is often sealed and closed with an adhesive. Package requirements vary depending on how the package is to be used. A package that is only supposed to protect the product during transport differs from one that is supposed to attract consumers and facilitate the use of the product by consumers. READ MORE
