Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010, June). The shear strength and failure modes of timber joists obtained from the torsion test method. Presented at 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010, Riva del Garda, Italy

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010, June). Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. Presented at 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010., Riva del Garda, Italy

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...
