Strength and Stiffness of Joints in Rattan Furniture

A study was conducted with the objective of gathering information on the strength and stiffness properties and behaviour of joints in rattan furniture subjected to various kinds of load. Four types of joint commonly found in rattan furniture making industry, i.e., nailed (N), nailed and bound...
