Stability of domestic dwellings. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2006, August). Stability of domestic dwellings. Presented at 9th World Conference on Timber Engineering

A comparative study of typical UK timber frame domestic dwellings is carried out in relation to
system stability. The concepts of stiffness proportionality, redundancy, continuity and robustness
are explored in relation to current UK timber frame d... Read More about Stability of domestic dwellings..

Formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a viable alternative to traditional wood stud shear walls. Developed in North America, SIPs satisfy building... Read More about Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels.

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...

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..
