Cyclic tests of glulam frames with buckling restrained braces
(2020)In this study, an attempt was made to integrate BRBs to glulam frames to provide strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. Two 8 m wide, 3.6 m high full-scale BRB glulam frame (BRBGF) specimens were designed ... -
Investigating the compressive toe of post-tensioned CLT core-walls using particle tracking technology
(2020)Post-tensioned timber technology was originally developed and researched at the University of Canterbury (UC) in New Zealand in 2005. It can provide a low-damage seismic design solution for multi-storey mass timber ... -
An updated survey on the use of geospatial technologies in New Zealand’s plantation forestry sector
(2020)Background: Geospatial technologies have developed rapidly in recent decades and can provide detailed, accurate data to support forest management. Knowledge of the uptake of geospatial technologies, as well as barriers to ... -
The Estimation of Radiation Exposure for Arcsecond Pico Star Tracker (APST) in Low Earth Orbit
(2016)In general COTS components have radiation tolerance of 1-10 Krad/year and untested components which are made up of silicon is estimated to have radiation tolerance up to 5 Krad. The primary idea of this paper is to estimate ... -
Nox emission performance assessment on a perforated plate-implemented premixed ammonia-oxygen micro-combustion system
(2020)The present work examines the NOx emission characteristics of a premixed micro-combustion system with a perforated plate implemented. For this, a three-dimensional (3D) computational model involving a detailed chemical-kinetic ... -
Chronotopic Information Interaction: Integrating Temporal and Spatial Structure for Historical Indexing and Interactive Search
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021)Domain-based learning and research are important applications driving the development of exploratory search systems. A wealth of historical information about events from around the world resides within documents on the ... -
Waterway barrier design for protection of native aquatic values
(University of Canterbury, 2013)Introduction: New Zealand has around 51 species of native freshwater fish, with an additional 3 colonist species and 20 introduced species that are now considered naturalised in New Zealand waters (Allibone et al., ... -
Quantitative system dynamics modelling of organisational health/resilience of infrastructure service providers
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Despite universal recognition of the importance of the infrastructure services, there has been very little focus on the enabling organisations and how they are affected by major disruptions. The work of Resilient ... -
HRI'16 chairs' welcome
(IEEE, 2016)We are excited to welcome you to the Eleventh Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on HumanRobot Interaction (HRI 2016). The HRI Conference is a highly selective, single track, international meeting showcasing the ... -
A peer pressure experiment: Recreation of the Asch conformity experiment with robots
(IEEE, 2014)© 2014 IEEE.The question put forward in this paper is whether robots can create conformity by means of group pressure. We recreate and expand on a classic social psychology experiment by Solomon Asch, so as to explore three ... -
Seismic performance of bolted column splice connections in steel moment frames
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Column splices are common in multi-storey steel construction. When buildings are designed for ultimate limit state, discontinuity in column stiffness due to splice stiffness properties is not often taken into account. ... -
Development of photoelectrochemical anodes for solar redox flow batteries
(University of Canterbury, 2020)Photoelectrochemical processes have been widely studied for water splitting and dye-sensitized solar cells. Lately, a new concept has emerged, the photoelectrochemical redox flow battery. A photoelectrochemical redox battery ... -
Evaluation of Microsoft HoloLens Augmented Reality Technology as a construction checking tool
(2019)Increasing productivity is one of the most important objectives of the construction industry. Building Information Modelling (BIM) was introduced to facilitate collaboration and coordination in the life-cycle of buildings ... -
Numerical Studies on Thrust Vectoring Using Shock- Induced Self Impinging Secondary Jets
(2015)Numerical studies have been carried out using a validated two-dimensional standard k-omega turbulence model for the design optimization of a thrust vector control system using shock induced self-impinging supersonic ... -
Multi-Bandpass Filter Coarse Decomposition for Cubesat Multi-Spectral Imager
(2017)Recent missions such as Planet Labs Dove have shown relatively high resolution imaging capabilities using CubeSats, with resolutions up to 5 m. Such resolutions are sufficient in capturing large characteristic features ... -
Academic Level Space Environment testing Facilities for Small Scale Systems
(2016)In this study, a realistic test is proposed in order to provide reliability while not over testing (“low-cost and fast-delivery“). Following this study, the objective was to set up a academic level space environment ... -
Essential elements of the energy transition for freight movements: data mining, modelling tools and policy scenarios - with case study in New Zealand
(University of Canterbury, 2020)New Zealand’s commitment towards the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement requires a 70% reduction of current gross emissions by 2050. Oil’s high energy return on investment, containerization, the expansion of the road ... -
Drone Aided Machine-Learning Tool for Post-Earthquake Bridge Damage Reconnaissance
(2020)After a high-intensity seismic event, inspections of structural damages need to be carried out as soon as possible in order to optimize the emergency management, as well as improving the recovery time. In the current practice, ... -
