Evaluation of the Shear Constant of a Timber Beam using a Photogrammetric Approach (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, H., Mohamed, A., & Xiao, Z. (2011, June). Evaluation of the Shear Constant of a Timber Beam using a Photogrammetric Approach. Presented at Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

The shear modulus is a fundamental mechanical property of wood that is used in general timber design [1,2,3].
