Finite Element Analysis of Larch Glum Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies on the compression properties of larch glum columns by building a finite element modeling. A three-dimension solid element SOLID 95 (Fig.1) of ANSYS is elected to simulate the test specimens firstly. The numerical simulation result (stress-strain curve) agrees with the experimental result. The highest stress value on the cross section is 12% of that along the grain, which is approximate with the result (10%) carried out from test. For the strain profile under the ultimate load, the strain distributes homogenous along the grain while the values of strain are almost the same at the corn of cross section. The modeling built in this paper can verify the compression test of the larch glum columns. It is reasonable to simplify the glum columns as transverse isotropy material.
