Dry ports, port centric logistics and offshore logistics hubs: strategies to overcome double peripherality. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Monios, J., & Wilmsmeier, G. (2011, April). Dry ports, port centric logistics and offshore logistics hubs: strategies to overcome double peripherality. Paper presented at Associationof American Georaphers Annual Meeting

Scotland's low accessibility is reflected in the limited share of Scottish unitised freight traffic coming through Scottish ports. This paper will consider site development strategies to overcome Scotland's double peripherality (i.e. both physically...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crossan, K., Tan, H., Paxton, S., & Weaver, M. (2015, July). A Systems Thinking Approach to Connecting and Aligning CSR Responses to Social Need in Scotland. Presented at 27th European Conference on Operational Research

The session aims to present a conceptual model of the governance issues in connecting and aligning the CSR activities of Scottish Businesses and the real and emerging needs in Scotland and the third sector. This forms part of a KTP funded project to... Read More about A Systems Thinking Approach to Connecting and Aligning CSR Responses to Social Need in Scotland.

Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J., & Zhang, H. (2003). Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method. In B. Topping (Ed.), Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Civil and Structural Engineering Computing. https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.77.36

During the past three decades, a large amount of research results on the analysis and design of stiffened plates has been reported. Most of the methods used in the analyses include finite element [1,2,3], finite strip [4,5,6] and boundary element [7,...

Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A., Zhang, H., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Moore, J. (2008). Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests. In 10th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2008 (2137-2144)

This paper presents details of the experimental method, and preliminary results from, a series of torsion tests undertaken to evaluate the shear modulus of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) timber. Direct torsion tests were used to determine the variat... Read More about Determining the Shear Modulus of Sitka Spruce from Torsion Tests.

Using OpenSees for structures in fire (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Usmani, A., Zhang, J., Jiang, Y., Kotsovinos, P., Zhang, J., & May, I. (2010, June). Using OpenSees for structures in fire. Presented at Structures in Fire - The Sixth International Conference, SiF'10

OpenSees is an open source object oriented software framework developed at UC Berekeley and currently supported by PEER and Nees. OpenSees has so far been focussed on providing an advanced computational tool for analysing the non-linear response of s... Read More about Using OpenSees for structures in fire.

Rethinking graduate attributes: understanding the learning journeys of part-time students in the Open University in Scotland. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Caddell, M., & Cannell, P. (2011, March). Rethinking graduate attributes: understanding the learning journeys of part-time students in the Open University in Scotland. Presented at Conference of the Universities Association for Lifelong Learning (UALL) 2011

Four in ten of Scotland’s university students study part time. But their voices and experience are often sidelined in debates about employability and graduate attributes. What do part-time students value in their course of study, and how does this di...

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]. Compared with other engineering materials, timber has relatively low shear stiffness in comparison to its modulus of elasticity, and so shea...
