LONG-TERM DETERIORATION OF HIGHDAMPING RUBBER BRIDGE BEARINGIn recent years, high damping rubber (HDR) bridge bearings have become widely used because of the excellent ability to provide high damping as well as flexibility. However, there are few systematic studies on the deterioration problems of HDRs during their service life, and usually the long-term performance was not considered in the design stage. In this research, through accelerated thermal oxidation tests on HDR blocks, the property variations inside the HDR bridge bearing are examined. A deterioration prediction model is developed to estimate the property profiles. Then using a constitutive model and carrying out FEM analysis, the behavior of a HDR bridge bearing during its lifespan is clarified. A design procedure is proposed that takes the long-term performance in the site environment into consideration.Key Words:high damping rubber bearing, thermal oxidation, deterioration, long-term performance1. INTRODUCTIONSince Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake that occurred on January 17th, 1995, bridge bearings have been widely adopted in Japan as an effective means to weaken the severe damage of steel and concrete piers due to an earthquake1), 2). Rubber is frequently applied in bridge bearings because of its special properties such as high elasticity and large elongation at failure. However, natural rubber cannot afford sufficient damping which is indispensable to a seismic isolation system. Usually rubber bearing is used together with steel bars, lead plugs, or other types of damping devices. In order to add energy dissipation to the flexibility existing in laminated rubber bearings, in the early 1980’s, the development in rubber technology led to new rubber compounds, which were termed high damping rubber (HDR). HDR material possesses both flexibility and high damping properties. The bridge bearings made of HDR can not only extend the natural period of the bridge, but also reduce the displacement response of structures3). Moreover, because of the inherent high damping characteristics of HDR, there is no need of additional devices to achieve the required levels of protection from earthquakes for most applications, so that the seismic isolation system becomes more compact.In the manufacture process of HDR, natural rubber is vulcanized together with carbon black, plasticizer, oil and so on. Consequently HDR possesses specific characteristics such as maximum strain-dependency of stress evolution, energy absorbing properties and hardening properties. Yuan et al.4) experimentally studied the dynamic behaviors of HDR bearing. Yoshida et al.5), 6) developed a mathematical model of HDR materials and proposed a three-dimensional finite element modeling methodology to simulate the behaviors of a HDR bearing numerically. Besides, a series of accelerated exposure tests were performed by Itoh et al.7),8) on various rubber materials including HDR to investigate the degradation effects of differentenvironmental factors. It was found that the thermal oxidation is the most predominant degradation factor affecting theHDR material. Since oxygen is able to permeate into the interior of a thick rubber, in this research the deterioration of HDR bridge bearings is assumed to be mainly caused by the thermal oxidation. For the purpose of clarifying the deterioration characteristics of bridge rubber bearings during their lifespan, some bearings practically in use were recalled and their mechanical properties were tested9)~11). However, because of their scatter nature and the lack of data, the long-term performance of HDR is not very clear. During the design process, usually the behaviors of deteriorated bridge rubber bearings during their lifespan are not considered.In the previous research, Itoh et al. 12), 13) studied the long-term performance of natural rubber (NR) bridge bearings. Through accelerated thermal oxidation tests carried out on NR blocks, the deterioration characteristics of both the outer and the interior regions were examined. Based on the test results, a prediction model was established to estimate the property profiles of the deteriorated NR bridge bearing. Then using the constitutive law proposed by Yoshida5), finite element model was built and the analysis was performed, which enabled the long-term performance of NR bridge bearing to be predicted. The relations among property variation, temperature, aging time and bearing size were also investigated.In this research, through the similar accelerated thermal oxidation tests on HDR blocks, the deterioration characteristics of HDR bridge bearings are studied, and their long-term mechanical performance is investigated by taking the site environment taken into consideration. The HDR specimens are provided by Tokai Rubber Industries, Ltd. It is possible that when suffered by aging, the HDR from other companies may behave differently due to the difference of chemical compound. The deterioration characteristics of the HDR material with other compounding ingredients and additives will be discussed in the future study.2. ACCELERATED THERMAL OXIDATIONTESTSAmong different degradation factors such as oxidation, ultraviolet radiation, ozone, temperature, acid and humidity, it is found that thermal oxidation changes the HDR properties more greatly than other factors5), resulting in an increase of HDR’s stiffness and a decreases of elongation at break as well as tensile strength. Besides, for thick rubbers, it is obvious that the surface is more easily affected by deterioration factors than the interior because of the diffusion-limited oxidation effect14), 15). In order to understand the variation of the material properties inside HDR bearings, accelerated tests were performed using rubber blocks focusing on the most significant degradation factor, thermal oxidation. The test method and results are described as follows.2.1 Accelerated thermal oxidation test methodFifteen HDR blocks were tested. The dimension is 220×150×50mm(length×width×thickness). The specimens were kept in a Thermal Aging Geer Oven. The acceleration test conditions are listed in Table 1. The temperatures were kept at three elevated temperatures, 60℃, 70℃, and 80℃in the oven. For the test at each temperature, the experiment duration were set as 5 stages, with the maximum of 300 days. The similar tests have already been performed on NR10). When the aging test was finished, HDR blocks were sliced into pieces with a thickness of 2mm. From each slice, four specimens with No.3 dumbbell shape were cut out16), as shown in Fig.1. The number of the specimens was 1,500 in total. Then through the tensile tests on these dumbbell specimens, the stress-strain curves were obtained, which represented the rubber properties at the corresponding position.In this research, strain energy was chosen for examination because it can exhibit the effect of thermal oxidation more remarkably than stresses at certain strains. In the following description, U100 stands for the strain energy corresponding to the strain of 100%, UB stands for the strain energy up to the break, and M100 stands for the stress corresponding to the strain of 100%. Similarly, U100 profile stands for the distribution of U100 inside HDR blocks, and property profile means the distribution of the mechanical properties such as stresses corresponding to certain strains, elongation at break (EB) and tensile strength (TS). As for the rubber breakage, EB is focused on. In addition, U0 and EB0 stand for U100 and EB in the initial state, respectively.2.2 Test results and examinationsThe profiles of U100/U0 and EB/EB0 at every test temperature are illustrated in Fig.2 and Fig.3, respectively. The horizontal axis shows the relative position with regard to the thickness of HDR block. The values 0 and 1 on this axis correspond tothe surface of the block. The vertical axis shows the normalized change of U100 with the original value regarded as 1.0 in Fig.2, and shows the normalized change of EB in Fig.3. In these figures, every point represents the mean value of four specimens from the same slice. Because of the scatter nature of rubber materials, at any position four specimens are tested in order to improve the accuracy. Since the oxidized rubber inhibits the ingress of oxygen, and considering the shape of the rubber block, the four specimens are cut out in the area of at least 25mm, a half of the block thickness, away from the around surface. Thus these specimens only reflect the property variations in the thickness direction. The standard deviation of every four-specimen group is quite small and usually less than 5% of the mean value.From Fig.2 and Fig.3, it can be found that at the earliest stage of the test, the material properties at the outside surface change together with the interior regions. The property variation of the interior region soon reaches the equilibrium state and maintains stable. However, the properties near the surface keep changing over the time, and change most greatly at the surface.From the surface to the interior, the properties vary less and less, until to a certain depth,which is called “critical depth”. The critical depth is about 11.5mm from the block surface at 60℃, 8.5mm at 70℃, and 6mm under 80℃. From the results of the same tests on NR blocks12), it is found that generally HDR and NR have a similar tendency of property variation. Both U100 and EB profiles display the features of a diffusion-limited oxidation. Initially the profiles are relatively homogeneous, but strong heterogeneity develops with aging. The properties in the outer region change more than the interior and keep changing over the time. However, unlike the case of NR, the interior region of HDR block experiences a rapid increase and soon reaches the equilibrium state. In contrast, the interior region of NR block does not change at all. In addition, after the same aging time, the property change at the surface of NR block is larger than that of HDR block, which means NR is more vulnerable to thermal oxidation.Fig.4 shows the time-dependency of U100 and EB at the surface and in theinterior of HDR blocks. The horizontal axis shows the deterioration time, and the vertical axis shows the material property variations compared to its initial state. The data of the block surface are taken from the top and the bottom surfaces, while the data of the block interior are taken from two slices close to the middle slice. Therefore, there are 8 points corresponding to every measuring time. From Figs.4(a) and 4(c) it is found that U100 and EB at the block surface change nonlinearly over the time. In Figs.4(b) and 4(d), the properties in the interior region vary in a very short time, and soon become stable. U100 increases by 20~40% and EB decreases by about 20%.Besides the accelerated thermal oxidation test, a HDR block was exposed to the environment of Nagoya, where the yearly average temperature is 15.4℃. The properties of each layer was measured and the profiles were obtained after one year. The normalized change of EB profile is shown in Fig.5. It can be seen that EB decreased by nearly 20% after only one year. This figure offers a good proof of the rapid variation speed in the interior of HDR during the earliest stage. Using the deterioration prediction model that is to be introduced in the following section, the simulation of the deterioration after one year is found to be close to the test results.From the test results, it is clear the deterioration characteristics of HDR block can be observed in two regions, one is in the interior region beyond the critical depth, where the properties only change at the earliest stage, the other is in the outer region from the surface to the critical depth, where the properties continue changing after a rapid initial change. Oxidation cuts the cross-links between chains and accelerates the reformation of molecule structure, however, the latter restricts the ingression of oxygen. It is thought that the equilibrium is reached at the critical depth. The oxidation is a process related to the time, however, the properties in the interior region only vary in a very short time. There should be a factor except for oxidation affecting the interior region of HDR block. Because the property variation in the interior region increases with temperature, it is assumed the reaction is related to temperature. Therefore, it is thought that there are two factors affecting the deterioration of the HDR material, temperature and oxidation. The interior region is mainly affected by temperature, and this reaction finishes in a relatively short time. However, for the outer region near the surface, temperature and oxidation affect HDR simultaneously at first. After the reaction due to temperature reaching the stable state, only the oxidation deterioration continues.3. DETERIORATION PREDICTION MODEL FORHDRBRIDGEBEARING 3.1 Quantification of deterioration characteristicsTo predict the long-term deterioration of HDR bridge bearing, it is necessary to quantify the deterioration characteristics. From the accelerated thermal oxidation test results, the deterioration pattern of the HDR block can be schematically expressed by Fig.6. The vertical axis U/U0 means the relative property variation, which is the ratio of the current material property U comparing to the original value U0. The horizontal axis shows the relative position inside the HDR block. The interior region beyond the critical depth d* is mainly affected by temperature, and the relative property variationis ΔUi. The outer region from surface to the critical depth d* is influenced by both temperature and oxidation, and the property changes most greatly near the block surface. The relative property variation at the bearing surface is represented by the symbol of ΔUs. When pro ceeding into the block, because of the decrease in the amount of oxygen, the oxidation effect becomes weaker, and the property variation also declines. Once exceeding the critical depth, the gradient of the Fig.5 EB/EB0 profile of HDR block in Nagoya (15.4℃)property profile becomes zero.Moreover, from the test results shown in Figs.2 ~5, it can be said that at the lower temperatures, the critical depth becomes larger, however the property variation rate in both the inner and the outer region becomes slower. Hence the property profiles of aged HDR block at different temperatures are expected to be similar to the one shown in Fig.7.3.1.1 Critical depthMuramatsu and Nishikawa17) discovered that the critical depth can be expressed as the exponential function of the reciprocal of the absolute temperature, and the following formula was proposed to express the relationship between the critical depth and the temperature.⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛=*T d βαexp (1) where, d* is the critical depth, T is the absolute temperature, and the symbols α and βare coefficients determined by the aging test.The exponential relationship between the critical depth and the temperature is shown in Fig.8. In this fig ure it is found that for HDR, α=0.00012mm, β =3.82×10-3.3.1.2 Property variation of interior regionThe accelerated thermal oxidation test results show that the interior region changes in a relatively very short time, and then keeps stable. The properties change so rapidly that the time-dependency may be neglected. The EB decreases by about 20% and showing no dependency on the temperature. However, the equilibrium state of strain energy is correlated with temperature, as shown in Fig.9. The exact tendency is not clear because of the lack of tests at lower temperatures. In this study, the change of the relative strain energy in the interior region is assumed to be an exponential function of the reciprocal of the absolute temperature as follows:⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛=∆T B A U i exp (2) where, ΔUi is the normalized strain energy variation of the interior region, T is the absolute temperature, and the symbols A and B are coefficients.The symbols A and B in Eq.(2) are found to be related to the nominal strain. The strain-dependency of the both coefficients is shown in Fig.10. In this figure, the coefficients A and B versus the strain between 25% and 500% are illustrated. Hence they can be correlated approximately using the following equations.21ln ln b b A +=ε (3a)21ln c c B +=ε (3b)where, εis the nominal strain, the symbols b1, b2, c1, and c2 are the factors determined by the aging test.3.1.3 Property variation at block surfaceThe property variation at the block surface can be deemed as the combined effect of temperature and oxidation. Temperature not only causes the change in HDR properties, but also accelerates the oxidation reaction.Figs.11 (a) and 11(b) show the relative change of U100 and EB at the bearing surface with the propFig.8 Relations between critical depth and temperatureertyvariations due to the temperature eliminated.At a certain temperature, the property of HDR ex-posed to the air depends on time. It is found that the increase of U100 and the decrease of EB are linear with the aging time. For other material properties, the similar relationship is proved. The time-dependency can be expressed by the following equation:1/0+⋅='t k U U s s s(4a ) where, U’s/ Us0 is the relative variation of strain energy at the surface of the rubber bearing due to the oxidation only, ks is coefficient and t is the deterioration time.The relative property variation at the bearing sur-face also depends on strain. The relationship betweenthe coefficient ks and the nominal strain εis shown inFig.12, and the following equation can be obtained.21a a k s +⋅=ε (4b )where, a1 and a2 are the factors determined by the test.Since the normalized property variation at the bearing surfaceΔUs is affected by the deterioration effects due to both temperature and oxidation, the following equation is obtained.()()111-∆+⋅⋅+=∆i s s U t k U (4c)3.1.4 Shape model of property profileA simple equation is necessary to express the property variation in the region from the rubberbearing surface to the critical depth. The property variation U(t)/U0 should be the function of the position x. The boundary conditions are:()S U U t U ∆+=1/0 ()l or x 0= (5a )()i U U t U ∆+=1/0 ()**-≤≤d l x d (5b)()0/=dx t dU ()*=d x (5c)where, U(t) and U0 are the HDR properties at time tand initial state, respectively. ΔUi andΔUs are the relative property changes of the interior region and the bearing surface, respectively. l is the width of the HDR bearing.If the property variation U(t)/U0 is assumed to be a square relation of the position x, the function can be expressed as follows: ()32210/g x g x g U t U ++= (6)Considering the boundary conditions Eq.(6) can be written as:()[]i S s sU w U w U U ∆-+∆+='11/0 (7) ()()()()⎪⎪⎪⎩⎪⎪⎪⎨⎧≤≤-⎪⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛---≤≤≤≤⎪⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛-=********l x d l d d l x d l x d d x d d x w 200 (8) where, w is the coefficient correlated with the position x, the critical depth d* and the width l of the HDR bearing.Next, if the relationship between U(t)/U0 and x is a 3-order equation, it is expressed by:()432210/g g x g x g U t U +++= (9)Eq.(9) is resolved using the boundary conditions, the following equation is obtained.()()()[]{}i S U w U w d x x g U t U ∆-+∆+-=*1/10 (10)From the test results, it is found that the influence of the first part of Eq.(10) is only about 0.01%~10% of U(t)/U0. For simplicity, in this study the square relation as Eq.(7) is adopted.3.2 Comparison with test resultsUsing Eqs.(1)~(6), the property profiles of the deteriorated HDR blocks can be estimated. Based on the test results, the coefficients in these equations are obtained and listed in Table 2. Through the comparisons between test results and simulations shown in Fig.13, it is found that the simulations of the critical depth, the property variations on the block surface and in the interior region are in good agreement with the test results. Thus the feasibility of the deterioration prediction method is verified. Using this model, the material property can be predicted at any position inside the HDR bearing, at any temperature and at any aging time.3.3 Activation energyIn the thermal oxidation test the temperature applied is much higher than the real environment.This is because high temperature can accelerate the deterioration18). The Arrhenius methodology3) is commonly used to correlate the accelerated aging results with the aging under service conditions. Gerenally the thermal oxidation is assumed to be the 1st order chemical reaction for rubber materials3). Then the aging time in the accelerated exposure tests can be converted into the real time under the service conditions through the following formula:⎪⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛-=⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛T T R E t t r a r 11ln (11) where, Ea is the activation energy of the rubber, R is the gaseous constant (=8.314[J/mol·K]), Tr indicates the absolute temperature under the service condition, and T is the absolute temperature in the thermal oxidation test. The symbols tr and t are the real time and test time, respectively.Since the rubber surface contacts with the air, the surface is thought completely oxidized. Therefore, the time-dependency of the properties at the surface are used to determine the activation energy, for example, the data in Fig.4(a) and Fig.4(c). The principle of time/temperature superposition by shifting the raw data to a selected reference temperature Tref is employed19). This principle is shown in Fig.14. The reference temperature is chosen as 60℃ so that the curve at 60℃ is the master curve. The shift factors aT are chosen to give the best superposition of the data. If the data adhere to an Arrhenius relation, the set of the shift factors aT will be related to the Arrhenius activation energy Ea by the following expression:⎪⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛-=T T R E a ref ar 11exp (12) The activation energy is calculated and listed in Table 3. The average value of Ea is about 9.04×104[J/mol]. Then using the Arrhenius methodology, the property variations of HDR under any service condition may be predicted based on the accelerated thermal oxidation test results.。

INTRODUCTIONAs one of the Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) and the mature technology of diesel engine, Closed Cycle Diesel Engine (CCD) system has the advantages of mature technology and low cost. The characteristics of intake mixture gas is one of factors which have great influence on the operation conditions of diesel engine, the studying of this parameters’ effects on performance is important for improving the performance of CCD.This paper used the 4102BG diesel engine as power unit of CCD, and the works toward it have been carried out as follows:1. The principles of simulation of all the subsystems were described. According to the structure drawings and test data of the diesel engine, the simulation model was established in GT-Power. Its validation is conformed through the results comparison of simulation and test data.2. Based on the simulation model, the effects of characteristic parameters such as mixture components, specific heat ratio and system pressure on performance of CCD are analyzed.3. In order to realize the goal of this study, some improvements have been made. Based on the original test bench, the measure and control systems are improved, and the absorber of carbon dioxide and ancillary measure and control equipments are added to the test bench.4. Reference to the simulation results, experimental studies are done. In the semi-closed condition, qualitative study of argon on performance of CCD is done. In the closed condition, the effects of argon, water flow of the absorber on the performance are studied qualitatively, as well as the load characteristics.The simulation and experimental results suggest that, in the intake mixture gas, the low specific heat ratio of carbon dioxide makes the combusting condition worse, which results in a worse performance. The argon inserted in the intake gas can compensate the effect of carbon dioxide and improve the performance of CCD. Simulation results suggestted that the effect of oxygen on the performance of CCD is not so obviously. The specific heat ratio of mixture can affect the performance of CCD obviously. In a certain extent, increasing the system pressure can improve the performance of CCD.Based on the previous study, the closed cycle diesel engine test bench achieves close operation though adding absorber of carbon dioxide. In our nation, this is first CCD test-bed based onmulti-cylinder diesel engine and can operate in close. And it could achieve long-term stable operation with enough gas, which is a valuable reference for the following study of CCD.Key words: CCD; Performance; Mixture gas; Simulation; Experimental1-作者-日期式注释ReferenceH.W.Rahn.

0引言近年来,我国基础设施建设得到了飞速发展,斜拉桥由于其卓越的跨越能力和良好的受力性能在交通运输中扮演了十分重要的角色。
斜拉桥主要由主塔、主梁、斜拉索组成,主梁直接承受自重及汽车荷载等外荷载,然后再通过斜拉索将荷载传递给主塔,主梁基本呈现为压弯受力状态[1-3]。
主塔除受自重引起的轴力外,还需承受由斜拉索传递的轴力及水平分力,因此索塔属于压弯构件[4,5]。
目前针对斜拉索索力影响因素方面的研究较少,因此本文为研究斜拉桥索力影响参数对斜拉索索力的影响规律,以某大跨度斜拉桥为工程背景,分别选取斜拉桥的主梁刚度、桥塔刚度、斜拉索刚度以及斜拉索损伤情况等四个影响参数,采用有限元软件建立三维空间有限元模型,分析在不同索力影响参数下斜拉索索力的变化规律。
1工程概况某大桥主桥为70+150+70m 双塔双索面预应力混凝土斜拉桥,采用150m 主跨跨越深水区域,采用70m 边跨跨越两岸大堤,总长290m 。
塔柱采用双柱式,柱尺寸顺桥向4.5m 长,横桥向2.5m 宽,壁厚顺桥向1.25m ,横桥向0.65m ,两主塔均采用塔、梁固结体系,主墩顶设支座。
桥型布置图如图1所示。
2斜拉桥刚度参数对索力影响分析2.1主梁刚度参数选取斜拉桥主梁的刚度分别为原刚度的0.5、1.0、1.5、2.0以及2.5倍五种不同主梁刚度,原主梁刚度记作E 1,提取不同主梁刚度模型计算后的斜拉索索力数据,如图2所示。
由图2可以看出,主梁刚度的改变对于全桥的斜拉索的索力影响都很大,其中边跨编号SC12~SC01斜拉索索力和中跨编号MC01~MC06斜拉索索力随着主梁刚度的增大呈现出逐渐增大的变化规律,最大增大幅度为14.5%;但在中跨跨中编号MC07~MC07’斜拉索索力反而随着主梁刚度的增加呈现减小的变化规律,最小减小幅度为14.33%。
Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Modelingof Nailed Connections in WoodJung-Pyo Hong,Ph.D.1;and David Barrett,Ph.D.,P .E.,M.ASCE 2Abstract:A three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element model of single nail connection was developed based on transversely isotropic plasticity.In order to have the connection model account for crushing behavior of wood during the nail embedment,a procedure was studied to implement the theory of a beam on a nonlinear foundation in the solid element modeling.Within a prescribed volume of wood surrounding a nail,a wood foundation was defined with the foundation material parameters,which were determined through nail-embedment tests.Introduction of the wood foundation to the connection model was justified by comparing the results of nail-embedment simulations with or without a wood foundation.Three-dimensional finite-element analyses of single nail connections incorporated with wood foundations were compared with the results of lateral resistance tests of the connections under parallel to grain loading and perpendicular to grain loading.The model predictions showed good agreement with the load-slip relations and the actual deformed shapes of the connections.DOI:10.1061/͑ASCE ͒ST.1943-541X.0000160CE Database subject headings:Three-dimensional models;Wood structures;Finite element method;Connections;Mechanical properties .Author keywords:Three-dimensional models;Wood structures;Finite-element method;Connections;Mechanical properties .IntroductionThe three-dimensional finite-element ͑3D FE ͒method is a com-mon option for numerical analysis of mechanical connections when the constitutive relations of materials used in the model are well established.For dowel-type mechanical connections with wood members such as nailed or bolted connections,however,utilization of 3D FE method has been very limited because the conventional method to construct a material model for wood is not suitable for simulating the real embedment behavior of wood under a connector ͑Patton-Mallory 1996;Chen et al.2003͒.In previous studies,most of the FE models for dowel-type connections adopted the conventional material model for wood,which employed the material parameters determined through the uniaxial compression tests ͑Patton-Mallory 1996;Moses 2000;Kharouf 2001͒.However,response of wood to compressive load-ing is not a scalable property,and the characteristics of wood in uniaxial compression and in dowel embedding are quite different ͑Madsen 2000;Blaßand Görlacher 2004͒.For example,when a nail contacts a wood surface under compressive loading,the in-teraction between nail and wood is governed by performance of wood fibers contacting the nail rather than by the gross compres-sion behavior of wood ͑Foschi 1974;Ni 1997;Foschi and Bonac1977;Foschi and Yao 2000͒.The difference of fiber density be-tween earlywood and latewood is also influential in the interac-tion depending on the direction of loading.Therefore,the attempts of the conventional method to model the interactions between fastener and wood have led to unrealistic or misleading outputs ͑Hong 2007͒.Generally,the discrepancy between the predicted and actual behavior becomes larger as the diameter of a dowel decreases due to increase in stress concentration ͑De Jong 1977͒.This explains why many studies using solid FEs have focused only on bolted connections with a relatively large diameter of bolt while a solid element model of a nailed connection has never been studied.A comprehensive review of the literature dealing with FE analyses applied to wood ͑Mackerle 2005͒shows that only one-or two-dimensional FE models employing the nail-embedment properties have been developed.A successful 3D model for nailed connec-tion should also accommodate the nail-embedment properties in the process of constructing material model for wood.There has been a need for developing a method how this accommodation can be achieved in solid element models ͑Patton-Mallory 1996͒since a solid element model is the best solution to quantify 3D profiles in various strength properties and to explore unseen in-teraction occurred inside connections,for example,the interaction of dowel-type mechanical connections with a wood-to-wood joint combined.The objective of this study,therefore,was to develop a solid FE model of dowel-type wood connections that consider the lo-calized crushing behavior of wood under a connector,which was applicable for a range of diameter of connectors.Single nail con-nections that appear to show the most intricate interactions be-tween a dowel-type connector and wood were selected for a target model.To account for the localized crushing behavior of wood in the model,a 3D FE wood foundation was introduced.All relevant FE1Postdoctoral Fellow,Dept.of Wood Sci.,Univ.of British Columbia,Vancouver,BC,Canada V6T 1Z4͑corresponding author ͒.E-mail:jungpyo_hong@ 2Professor
