Net section fracture of aluminium alloy angle-to-plate connections: testing, modelling and design by Jiang, Ke, Li, Shuai, Guo, Tong, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…Twenty tension tests were conducted on aluminium alloy angle-to-plate connections, with each connection specimen consisting of an equal-leg or unequal-leg angle section member bolted to gusset plates by one leg at both ends. The test setup, procedures and key obtained results, including failure loads, load–elongation curves, failure modes and strain distributions at failure cross-sections were reported. …”

Tablets, Pens, and Pencils: The Influence of Tools on Sketching in Early Stage Design by Das, Madhurima, Huang, May, Yang, Maria C

“…We ask three mixed gender groups of participants (using pen, pencil, and a tablet) to sketch concepts in response to an open-ended design prompt. We hypothesize that participants using tablet and pencil will produce fewer drawings than those using pen due to their ability to erase and focus on perfecting drawings, and we expect participants using the tablet to produce cleaner drawings with smoother strokes due to the tablet’s ability to auto-smooth lines. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
