In the furniture industry, some traditional Chinese mortise and tenon joints are not suitable for current requirements carbon reduction environmental protection of products. This article aims to explore new ideas methods modern structure design. The principle in green design concept is introduced Based on furniture, a systematic analysis carried out. Additionally, this review discusses method a...

Through-bolt with dowel-nut connectors are commonly used in furniture where high strength mechanical connections are required. During early periods of use, dowel-nuts were often called barrel nuts (Eckelman 1977), but the term “dowel-nut” is more descriptive, and the author has referred to them as such in the above and all subsequent publications (Eckelman 1989, 1999; Eckelman and Erdil 2000). ...

We investigated how substrate diameter affects acceleration performance in three Anolis lizard species (A. sagrei, A. carolinensis and A. valencienni), representing three different ecomorphs (trunk-ground, trunk-crown, and twig, respectively). We did so by measuring maximal acceleration capacity of the three species on a broad and narrow dowel. In addition to acceleration capacity, we quantifie...

The paper examined the strength of rotationally welded joints between untreated beech dowels and samples thermally modified unmodified oak wood (used as substrates). results were compared with control group where glued using PVAc (polyvinyl acetate) glue for same types samples. Maximum dowel pull-out force was significantly higher connection to in both groups - treated wood. Welded joint group,...

BACKGROUND Despite increasing attention on fixation of a soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament graft in the tibia, there have been no studies on the use of a bone dowel as a joint line fixation device for promoting fixation properties, especially stiffness at the time of implantation. PURPOSE To determine whether compacting a bone dowel into the tibial tunnel improves fixation stiffness, yie...

PURPOSE To assess the retention of glass fiber post cemented with self-adhesive resin cement into optimum and over-prepared root canals following obturation in the presence of either eugenol (EB) or calcium hydroxide (CB)-based sealers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Roots of extracted premolars were endodontically-treated in 5 groups (n = 10). Roots of Group 1 (control) were left with no obturation a...
