How to Model Nail Behavior in Wood?

How to Model Nail Behavior in Wood?

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

I'm working on analyzing steel sheets that are fastened to wood with nails and loaded in shear. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to model this behavior. The nail is loaded in shear and pulls out of the wood, deforms, and deforms the wood. Can anyone give me advice on how to model this accurately? The only thing I know is the amount of pullout force that is required to remove a nail in straight withdrawal.
