I am working right now on a paper that validates the experiment of the double shear on a wooden dowel, and I am using Abaqus for the numerical analysis of this connection. I am trying since a while to define the plasticity of wood in Abaqus, but I can not. Where can I get the values of the Plasticity of a specific type of Wood?
I can not simulate as well the failure that would happen to the connection.
It would be really helpful if anyone told me how I can overcome those two problems.
Thanks in advance
