Shear Locking in Isoparametric Spline Finite Strips (No. R876)
Published 2007The Mindlin plate bending theory includes shear deformations in the formulation to better reproduce the behaviour of thick plates and to avoid difficulties in satisfying continuity requirements along strip boundaries. ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Elastic Buckling Analysis of Perforated Thin-Walled Structures by the Isoparametric Spline Finite Strip Method (No. R879)
Published 2007In previous reports [1, 2], the isoparametric spline finite strip method was successfully applied to the in-plane stress and bending linear elastic analysis of perforated plates, and to the linear elastic analysis of folded ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Direct Strength Design of Cold-Formed Purlins (No. R882)
Published 2007The Limit States Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4600:2005 and the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members 2001 (2004 Supplement) include the newly developed Direct Strength ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigation of the Interaction of Local and Overall Buckling of Stainless Steel I-Columns (No. R887)
Published 2007This report describes an experimental program carried out at the University of Sydney to study the interaction of local and overall flexural buckling in stainless steel back-to-back channels under compression. Two stainless ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Wind Loading of Telecommunication Antennas and Head Frames (No. R881)
Published 2007The base balance wind tunnel testing technique was used to determine the wind loading on a range of telecommunication antennas and head frames. The crosswind and torsional components of the wind loading were typically ...Open AccessReport, Research
