half-timber<br />
a traditional name for a common European framing system<br />
which used timbers that were split in half<br />
housing<br />
linear potentiometer<br />
a cavity large enough to hold the entire timber’s end<br />
an electronic device that measures displacements by returning<br />
a voltage signal that changes relative to the displacement<br />
longitudinal direction<br />
l v<br />
along the centerline of the tree (parallel to the grain)<br />
the distance from the center of the peg to the end of the<br />
tenon, end distance<br />
Mode II<br />
a single shear failure mode in which the peg rotates through<br />
both members<br />
Mode III<br />
a single or double shear failure mode in which the peg rotates<br />
through the main or side member(s) and a plastic hinge forms<br />
in the other member(s)<br />
Mode I<br />
a single or double shear failure mode in which dowel bearing<br />
failures occur in either the main or side member(s)<br />
Mode IV<br />
a single or double shear failure mode in which plastic hinges<br />
occur in the main and side member(s)<br />
Mode V<br />
Mode VI<br />
Mode VII<br />
mortise<br />
NDS<br />
a peg shear failure mode<br />
a failure mode in which the relish fails in shear<br />
a failure mode caused by mortise splitting<br />
a hole cut into a member in which the tenon is fit<br />
