Shear Buckling of Channel Sections with Simply Supported Ends using the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (No. R931)
Published 2013Buckling of thin-walled sections in pure shear has been recently investigated using the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (SAFSM) to develop the “signature curve” for sections in shear. The method assumes that the buckle ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Static Friction Coefficient Between Pallets and Beam Rail and Pallet Shear Stiffness Tests (No. R914)
Published 2011An experimental program was established at the University of Sydney to determine the coefficient of friction between various types of timber pallets and a typical Dematic beam rail. In addition, another test series was ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigation of High Strength Cold-Formed SupaCee Sections in Combined Bending and Shear (No. R907)
Published 2009High strength steel cold-formed purlins of lipped C or Z-sections are commonly used throughout the world, one of which is the SupaCeeE section (Lysaght, 2003). They contain additional return lips and web stiffeners which ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Buckling Analysis of Thin-Walled Sections under Localised Loading Using the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (No. R951)
Published 2014Thin-walled sections under localised loading may lead to web crippling of the sections. This report develops the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (SAFSM) for thin-walled sections subject to localised loading to investigate ...Open AccessReport, Research
