Isoparametric Spline Finite Strip Method for the Bending of Perforated Plates (No. R877)
Published 2007In a previous report [1], the isoparametric spline finite strip method was successfully applied to the in-plane stress linear elastic analysis of perforated thin-walled structures. In the present report the application of ...Open AccessReport, Research -
The Behaviour of Drive-in Racks under Horizontal Impact Load (No. R871)
Published 2006This report is concerned with the behaviour of drive-in steel storage racks under horizontal impact load in the down-aisle direction. Such impact loads due to forklifts striking an upright us a major cause of structural ...Open AccessReport, Research -
A three-dimensional numerical model for wave-induced soil response around the head of a breakwater (No. R859)
Published 2005The evaluation of wave-induced seabed response has been recognised as a dominant factor in analyzing the seabed instability in the vicinity of a breakwater. Most previous investigations for wave-induced pore water pressure ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Self-Organizing Polynomial Neural Network for Modelling Complex Hydrological Processes (No. R861)
Published 2005Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used increasingly for modelling complex hydrological processes. In this paper, we present a self-organizing polynomial neural network (SOPNN) algorithm, which combines the theory ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element Modelling and Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Sections (No. R845)
Published 2005This report describes the numerical investigation of cold-formed, thin-walled stainless steel sections subject to distortional buckling under compression. Austenitic alloy 304 and ferritic alloys 430 and 3Cr12 were considered. ...Open AccessReport, Research
