Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation.
Journal Article
Muneer, T. & Munawwar, S. (2006)
Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. 128, 104-117. doi:10.1115/1.2148972. ISSN 0199-6231
Solar energy applications require readily available, site-oriented, and long-term solar data. However, the frequent unavailability of diffuse irradiation, in contrast to its n...

A New Approach for Patent Use in Student Design Engineering Projects
Conference Proceeding
Maclachlan, R., Wodehouse, A., & Vasantha, G. (2018)
A New Approach for Patent Use in Student Design Engineering Projects. In Design Education: Diversity or Conformity? Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education (E&PDE18)

Modelling environmental variation in Young’s modulus for Pinus radiata and implications for determination of critical buckling height.
Journal Article
Watt, M. S., Moore, J. R., Facon, J., Downes, G. M., Clinton, P. W., Coker, G., …Bown, H. E. (2006)
Modelling environmental variation in Young’s modulus for Pinus radiata and implications for determination of critical buckling height. Annals of Botany. 98, 765-775. doi:10.1093/aob/mcl161. ISSN 0305-7364
Background and Aims: Although density-specific stiffness, E/, (where E is Young's modulus and is wood density) is often assumed constant by the elastic similarity model, and ...
Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors.
Conference Proceeding
Khokhar, A., Chui, Y., & Smith, I. (2012)
Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors. In P. Quenneville (Ed.), Proceedings of World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2012), 362-369
Floors with repetitive parallel wood joists overlain by wood panel sheathing behave as orthotropic two-way structures since their along-joist stiffness is much higher than acr...
