Building of wood selecting index for solid wood furniture based on mechanical property analysis
External loading may induce internal stress in components of solid wood furniture.The pattern and value of the stress are different between components and their nodes.In this study, solid wood furniture components are classified as supporting and connective ones, and mechanical analyses were performed on them.The results showed that the requirements on wood hardness,dimensional stability and screw holding strength were different for different components.The relative importance of different mechanical strengths in furniture components was determined, and the mechanical performance was graded by means of mechanical analyses on popular wood species, which can propose mechanical property index for the raw material selecting of solid wood furniture, and to realize the proper use of different wood species.
