Joint members were cut from white fir lumber. Butted and mitered joints were constructed with one and two dovetail key(s) with butterfly and H shapes. Joints were glued by polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and cynoacrylate (CA). Compression capacity of joints was higher than diagonal tension. Mitered joints were stronger than butted ones. Butterfly dovetail keys were superior to H shape keys. Double keys performed better than single key. Experimental joints glued with PVAc were stronger than those glued with CA glue and control specimens. In terms of strength, butterfly dovetailed joints were comparable with doweled joints.展开更多

This paper describes different dovetail threads,and provides detailed descriptions of structure,performance characteristics,and processing and measurement methods of a wedge dovetail tapered thread,which is used in OCTG joints. A full-engagement wedge dovetail tapered thread joint that is highly gas-tight was designed and subjected to finite element method analysis,and the results show an even stress distribution in the joint. To verify the actual performance of these joints,the highest IV tubing test standard,ISO 13679: 2002 CAL,was used in a make-up/break-out test and combined loading test. No galling or gas leakage occurred in these tests,which confirms that the structure of the designed joint demonstrates reasonable and excellent performance.展开更多
