Experimental Data-Based Model of Fracture of Adhesive Joint for a Link of Mechanism Made from Bamboo

Abstract

AbstractDevelopment of bamboo product is playing the significant role in the market due to easy availability at lower cost and environmental friendly. Apart from the traditional uses, now, bamboo is used in the building construction and mechanism. Bamboo development and enhancement benefit the rural people to start their own setup generate the employability and sustainable livelihoods in rural communities. In view, above stated is to lay an emphasis on developing appropriate adhesives for joinery of structural members made for chemically appropriated treated bamboo. Anyone would say that the prerequisite for this would be decide proper chemicals which would enhance mechanical strength (elevation of tensile strength, compressive strength and shear strength). However, the literature indicated that this has been already achieve to great extent by proper treatment of raw bamboo with borax chemical. Paper details the formulation of mathematical model of the sic chain mechanism with bamboo linkage and bamboo joint with appropriate adhesives in the bamboo joints. In our life, we come across very many activities. These activities have some environmental system in which these activities take place. The environment or system can be specified in terms of its parameters some of which are always constant in their magnitudes, whereas some are variable. The activities are set in action by some parameters which are considered as causes. These causes interact with parameters of the system; as a result of this interaction, some effects are produced. To investigate the shear strength of the bamboo joints in terms of length, weight, cross-section and speed. The investigated result predicts the performance of four-bar mechanism to replace the existing material with bamboo.KeywordsBambooAdhesiveMechanismMathematical modelingJoinery
