Abstract

An attempt was made to analyse the strength and stiffness of moltinject corner joints of cabinet furniture by comparison with that of pin dowels corner joints. The deflection of cabinet furniture whose corners were joined by the method of moltinject was predicted in this study using FEM calculations.

Zusammenfassung

Die Biegefestigkeit und Steifheit von MOLTINJECT-Eckverbindungen bei Kastenmöbeln wurde untersucht und mit denen konventioneller Dübelverbindungen verglichen. Mit Hilfe der Finite-Elemente-Methode konnten die entsprechenden Biege-Elastizitätsmodule simmliert und damit die Verbiegung der Eckverbindungen unter Last vorhergesagt werden.
