The report describes tests carried out at Edinburgh Napier University on a series of flooring systems using OSB/3 and OSB/4 floor panels supplied by SmartPly Ltd, in March 2021. The report is part of a bigger testing campaign involving several types... Read More about Structural Performance of SmartPly Flooring System Under Point-Load of 50x50, June 2021.

Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method
Preprint / Working Paper
Uheida, K., Deng, Y., Zhang, H., Galuppi, L., Gao, J., Xie, L., …Mohamed, A. (2021). Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method

This paper proposes a concise concept for quantifying the shear/torsional stiffness of the laminated glass beams experimentally by introducing the Equivalent-Sectional Shear Modulus (ESSM), that is directly measured from the torque and sectional-rota...

The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams
Preprint / Working Paper
Zhang, H., Gharavi, N., Wong, S. H., Deng, Y., Bahadori-Jahromi, A., Limkatanyu, S., …Kuang, J. (2021). The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams

This paper presents the experimental and analytical studies to investigate the impact of concentrated laminated bamboo butt-joints on the flexural properties of vertically laminated bamboo-timber hybrid beams (VLHBs, or flitch beam). The experimental... Read More about The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams.

The Prometheus ODMG Database System
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (2000). The Prometheus ODMG Database System. Napier University

Complex applications such as those to support the emerging field of biodiversity informatics, require database systems able to represent and manipulate their data. Object-oriented databases (OODBs), designed to support complex domains such as Compute... Read More about The Prometheus ODMG Database System.

Query Language For Prometheus
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. Query Language For Prometheus. Napier University

This document presents the query language developed for the Prometheus database [RKB99]. This language is based on graphs and provides the user with a means to define the data to be extracted from the database and its manipulation. The language requi...

The Prometheus Database Model
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. The Prometheus Database Model. Napier University

This report presents the Prometheus database model. The model is designed to satisfy the requirements expressed in a previous document [RKB99]. The new model is based on a graph model and is extended with some mechanisms existing in other models (e.g... Read More about The Prometheus Database Model.

Database support for taxonomy
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1999). Database support for taxonomy. Napier University

Taxonomists classify the organisms they study in order to refer to, identify and understand them. However, the same organism may at times be classified according to different taxonomic opinions and subsequently have several alternative names or be pl...
