Bending Stiffness of Hybrid Wood-Metal Composite Beams: An Experimentally Validated Numerical Model

This paper presents an experimentally validated model for the computational analysis of metal-reinforced wooden composites. The can be used in both research and industry to effectively estimate how much a certain composite design improves bending stiffness strength hybrid component. A based on computer simulations allows prediction mechanical behaviour material consisting several interconnected components made different base materials. boundary conditions parameters provides correct data stiffness, especially bending, associated maximum displacements. It variation geometrical properties, makes it possible observe initiation irreversible change window-frame member. enables parametrical find optimum layout reinforcements member, as well make estimations performance designs.
