Structural sections of laminated bamboo can be connected using methods common in
timber engineering, however the different material properties of timber and laminated …

A detailed interpretation of load distribution in composite single-lap bolted joints is
presented based on theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations. Modified …

Bamboo is in the spotlight as a potential building material in the current pursuit of a CO2-
neutral society, due to its rapid maturation and excellent mechanical properties. Despite the …

An analytical tri-linear joint stiffness model accounting for the effect of bolt-hole clearances
on the bearing chord stiffness is presented. A single-parameter iteration method is also …

Interference fit can bring benefits such as fatigue life enhancement to mechanical joints. In
this paper, an analytical method is proposed to calculate stress around interference fit holes …

This paper examines the dynamic behaviour of timber framed buildings under wind and
dynamic loads, focusing on the role of connections being experimentally tested. The main …

This paper reports on recent experimental work to investigate the response of bolted carbon
fibre composite joints and structures when subjected to constant dynamic loading rates …

Bolted joints are widely used to connect safety-critical parts in the aeronautical industry and
require precise structural assessment tools. Focus of this paper is the development of an …
