Fig. 2From: Theoretical estimation of the mechanical performance of traditional mortise–tenon joint involving a gapModeling of deformation at mortise–tenon joints. The joint deformed at deformation angle θ of column due to external force P. Partial compressive deformation are represented with the gray parts. Partial compressive and frictional resistance is represented with white and gray allows, respectively. Lines 1–8 and Intersections A–H are defined for presenting the geometric arrangementBack to article page
