Damage propagation in the W02 components (ABAQUS). (a) Von Mises stresses in the steel dovetails (values in Pa), at a given displacement of 10 mm for the top log, with corresponding damage scenario in the (b) hardwood profiles and (c) main logs (detail). (d) Crushing phenomena in orthogonal logs (carpentry joints), at a top log displacement of 25 mm.
