The shear strength and failure modes of timber joists obtained from the torsion test method. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010). The shear strength and failure modes of timber joists obtained from the torsion test method. In A. Ceccotti (Ed.), 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010 (WTCTE 2010) (3509-3516)

This paper presents details of the experimental method and test results from a series of torsion tests undertaken to evaluate the shear strength of timber joists. The failure modes and the correlation of shear strength and torsional shear modulus we...

Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010). Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. In A. Ceccotti (Ed.), 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010 (WCTE 2010) (2127-2132)

This paper describes means to overcome some of the computational issues related to lattice models. The first is the use of a solution technique, different from a Newton-Raphson approach, called the Step-Size-Control (SSC) algorithm to handle strain-s...

The future of quality control for wood & wood products. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
(2010). The future of quality control for wood & wood products. In D. Ridley-Ellis, & J. Moore (Eds.), Proceedings of the final conference of COST Action E53

The principal aim of the COST Action E53 was to improve methods of quality control in processing round wood and timber to ensure that timber products and components meet the requirements of the users. The Action also promoted the improvement of spe... Read More about The future of quality control for wood & wood products..
