The Educational Needs of the Timber Industries – Report of an Online Survey by the Centre for Timber Engineering. (2006)
Report
Ridley-Ellis, D., & Nolte, S. (2006). The Educational Needs of the Timber Industries – Report of an Online Survey by the Centre for Timber Engineering

This survey was conducted by the Centre for Timber Engineering (CTE) in summer 2005 to investigate the educational needs and preferences of the timber industries. Both employers and employees were asked to define and articulate curriculum and skills...

Journal Article
Nolte, S., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2006). Timber Engineering Online. Timber Engineering,

This paper highlights some of the opportunities, challenges and issues encountered in creating online teaching and learning materials for timber engineering that provide an experience equivalent to face-to-face teaching for the student. It introduces... Read More about Timber Engineering Online..

Geometric Non-Linear Behaviour of Single Shear Bolted Joints. (2006)
Journal Article
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2006). Geometric Non-Linear Behaviour of Single Shear Bolted Joints. Timber Engineering,

Findings are presented of the first stage of an investigation of second-order effects that influence the resistance and stiffness of single shear bolted joints. These effects develop as a result of joint deformation and the rotation of all, or part,... Read More about Geometric Non-Linear Behaviour of Single Shear Bolted Joints..

Timber Plate Dynamics with Space-Time Finite Element (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Hapca, A. I. (2006). Timber Plate Dynamics with Space-Time Finite Element. Timber Engineering,

A new space-time finite element formulation for dynamic analysis of timber plates is presented. The method is based on an unconventional Hamilton variational principle and a special technique in time domain interpolation is employed. For the simple c...
