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.

Some references you need to get a hold of my collections:
FPL-RP-505
FPL-GTR-54
FPL-RP-470*** <- get this one
FPL-RP-469*** <-get this one
"Theoretical Design of a nailed or bolted joint under lateral load", 1955, USDA, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory #D1951
"Evaluation of Nail Dowel Bearing Strength Expression", Rammer, Proceeding of the 1999 structures congress, 1999
AF&PA technical report 12
Must do your homework on this one. A lot of the yield theory and empirical is explained. Start with a thorough search of the FPL library and probably call them to get some help.
