Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D., Moore, J., & Khokhar, A. M. (2009). Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408.

The paper examines the variation in modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus (G) within sawn timber and the implications for testing timber in accordance with EN408:2003. A combination of mechanical testing and simple analytical modelling is us... Read More about Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408..

Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests (2008)
Journal Article
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Moore, J. (2008). Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests. Timber Engineering,

This paper presents details of the experimental method, and preliminary results from, a series of torsion tests undertaken to evaluate the shear modulus of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) timber. Direct torsion tests were used to determine the variat... Read More about Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests.
