Abstract
The aim of the researches presented in the paper is to show how the exploitation of furniture affect the strength of its connectors, more precisely the bending strength of the final corner dismountable joints for designed furniture – office desk. For studying this influence, 2 office desks were made (from chosen material OSB panels), joined by dismountable connectors, and also from the same material and the same type of connectors, reference test fixtures were made and their bending strength was the value of comparison. Office desks were tested according to European Standard for determining the stability of the structure (EN 527-3:2003 E) and that was simulated exploration of furniture. After that, the final corner compositions were cut off, and its bending strength was compared with the reference test fixtures strength. The research results showed that the exploiting of dismountable furniture has not a significant impact on their compositions strength.
