Predicting Performance Of Oriented Strandboard Under Concentrated Static Loading Conditions Using Finite Element Modeling
Keywords:
Finite element model, oriented strandboard, concentrated static load, shear stress, bending stressAbstract
Oriented strandboard (OSB) panels were tested under a concentrated static load (CSL). A finite element (FE) model with variation of stresses and strains in the thickness direction was established to simulate the deflection of OSB under 890-N CSL. The CSL ultimate load of each OSB panel was simulated by increasing the load in the FE model until the calculated stress met the corresponding measured strength. Comparison of the calculated and the experimental data showed that the initial failure had two modes: failure initiated by interlaminar shear stress in the major direction near the central layers and edge of the panel when modulus of rupture (MOR) to interlaminar shear strength ratio in the major direction was greater than 18.8, and failure initiated by bending stress in the major direction near the bottom layers and the loading spot when MOR to interlaminar shear strength ratio in the major direction was less than 17.4. Panel thickness determined the initial failure mode when the ratio of MOR to interlaminar shear strength in the major direction was between 17.4 and 18.8. The vertical density profile affected the distribution of bending stresses and MOR in the profile of panels and influenced the accuracy of the prediction of the FE model.References
