Rigidity of furniture cases with various joint constructions

Although expressions have been developed to predict the deflection characteristics of five-sided furniture cases, these expressions do not take into account the stiffness of the joints. This study was carried out to determine the effect of joint rigidity on case stiffness. Results indicate that joints do have a significant effect, and manufacturers may want to use joints that provide the greatest stiffness in their constructions.
