Coefficient of Acceptability for Joints on Furniture Frame Analysis under Cyclic Loads

In this study, it was aimed to determine the coefficient of acceptability for furniture joints on chair frames. doing so, three configurations made soft maple and yellow poplar were defined. Chairs subjected a front-to-back cyclic load test until non-recoverable failure occurred. Ultimate loads each frame used moment capacity critical joints. Likewise, according American Library Association, acceptable light, medium heavy-duty service chairs in structural analysis obtain capacities using stiffness method. Then, lines drawn from an initial strength joint at level imposed chair. Differentiating slopes between lifeline levels gives acceptability. This would provide insight into serviceability durability
