In the production of non-structural case type furniture from
wood-based panel, it is known that changeable design parameters have
significant effects on performance of furniture soundness. These
parameters are changeable factors as panel kind, corner joint type,
and glue type. This study examined the performance of combined
corner joints and furniture soundness, which is changed according to
the panel and glue type.
For this purpose, test samples with combined joint were prepared by
using wood-based panel, which were melamine-faced particleboard and
melamine-faced fiberboard and glue types of polyvinyl acetate,
desmodur-vtka, and silicon. After that diagonal compression and
tension tests were carried out on the samples.
It was revealed at the end of these tests that, among the combined
joint type samples, melamine-faced fiberboard with silicon glue has
produced the highest performance of soundness, whereas melamine-faced
fiberboard with polymarine glue has resulted in the lowest performance
of soundness.
