The Harvard Author-Date Referencing System
Referencing, or citing, means acknowledging the sources of information and ideas you have used in an
assignment (e.g. essay or report). This is a standard practice at university and whenever you write an
assignment that requires you to find and use information, you are expected to reference the source of
the information in your writing. Sources could include books, journal or newspaper articles, pictures,
diagrams or items from the internet. The two most common types of referencing systems used are:
author-date systems—such as the Harvard system, APA and MLA
numeric systems—such as Chicago or Turabian, Vancouver and Footnote.
There are a number of variations of the Harvard system and this Guide presents one consistent version
which is based on Snooks & Co (eds) 2002, Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn,
Wiley & Sons, Australia. The first part of the Guide outlines the main rules for referencing; the second
part contains frequently asked questions and the final part contains examples of a range of reference
types.
Why do we reference?
Academic assignments require wide reading so that the current thinking about a particular topic can be
identified. Ideas expressed by other people reinforce the arguments you present in your assignment.
The referencing in your assignment:
shows the range of ideas and approaches that you have found and thought about
gives your acknowledgement of where these ideas came from
shows where your reader can locate the sources you have used
avoids plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s ideas and/or the way they express
their ideas, as if they are your own. Plagiarism can be unintentional and appropriate
referencing helps writers to avoid this.
Citation management software
Citation management software such as RefWorks and EndNote enables you to establish your own
database of references, store and transfer them from the database to your own documents (e.g. an
assignment). There is further information about this software in the ‘Managing References’ link on the
Library’s homepage.

How do you reference?
In-text reference
Every time you use someone else’s ideas or information an intext reference must be included (this is
sometimes called a citation). For example when you:
paraphrase (express someone else’s idea in your own words)
summarise (express someone else’s idea concisely in your own words)
quote (express someone else’s idea in their exact words)
copy (reproduce a diagram, table or any other graphic).
The in-text reference is shown each time you refer to an idea or information and should include:
the author’s or editor’s family name (or organisation responsible). Do not include given
names or initials
the year of publication
page numbers if appropriate and where available.
There are two main ways to present an in-text reference.
1. in brackets, outside your sentence structure:
Many factors are known to affect the successful outcomes for students at university (Johnston
2003).
2. using the author’s name as part of your sentence structure, with the date in brackets:
Johnston (2003) claims that there are many factors that are known to affect the success of
students at university.
Page numbers are included when you:
use a direct quote from an original source
summarise an idea from a particular page
copy tables or figures, or provide particular details like a date.
McLaine (2002, p. 16) stated that productivity was found to be affected by work related stress
in 69% of workers.
The reference list
Each citation must have a matching entry in the reference list. It must have the full bibliographic details
so that readers can find the source.
The reference list is not a bibliography. A bibliography lists everything you may have read, while a
reference list is limited to the in-text references in your assignment. A bibliography is not needed
unless specifically asked for by your lecturer.
The reference list is:
titled ‘References’
arranged alphabetically by author’s family name, or title if a source has no auth
or
a single list—books, journal articles and electronic sources are listed together and not arranged
in separate lists.
Developed by Learning Advisers and Librarians © UniSA, November 2009 3
Setting out items in a reference list
The main elements required for all references are the author, the date, the title and the publication
information.
The basic formats are shown in the examples below. These should be followed exactly, paying special
attention to details of capitalisation, punctuation, italics and wording.
Example of a book
The basic format required for books is:
Author’s family name, Initial(s) year, Title of book, Publisher, Place of publication.
Daly, J 2004, Nursing leadership, Elsevier, Sydney.
Component Explanation
Daly, J The author’s name, family name first, followed by a comma and an initial.
2004, Year of publication followed by a comma, no parentheses/brackets.
Nursing leadership, Title in italics, followed by a comma. Upper case used for first letter; lower case for
the rest.
Elsevier, Publisher followed by a comma.
Sydney. Place of publication. If more than one place is listed give only the first listed. If there
is another place of the same name or if the place is little known add the state or
country. Full stop at the end.
Example of an academic journal article
The basic format required for journal articles is:
Author’s family name, Initial(s) year, ‘Title of article,’ Title of Journal, vol and issue numbers, page
range.
Davis, L, Mohay, H & Edwards, H 2003, ‘Mothers’ involvement in caring for their premature infants:

punctuation after the initials. Ampersand (&) joins second or last
author— no comma after last author’s initials.
2003, Year of publication followed by a comma, no brackets.
‘Mothers’ involvement in caring for their
premature infants: an historical
overview,’
Title of the article in single inverted commas, (capital for first word
only), followed by a comma.
Journal of Advanced Nursing, Title of the journal capitalised and in italics, followed by a comma.
vol. 42, Volume number of the journal followed by a comma.
no. 6, Number of the issue followed by a comma.

Example of an electronic publication
The basic format required for electronic sources is:
Author’s family name, Initial(s) year date, Title of document or website, date viewed,
Thomas, S 1997, Guide to personal efficiency, Adelaide University, viewed 6 January 2004,

The internet address (URL or Uniform Resource Locator) is enclosed in < and >, with the full address and followed by a full stop if at the end.
Frequently asked questions
1. How do I reference an idea or information by one author (Author 1) which occurs in a book or
journal article by another author (Author 2)?
The rule is that you should mention both authors (Author 1 and Author 2) in your in-text
reference; but in your reference list you only list the item you read, that is, by Author 2. For
example, if you read about an idea by Lim (Author 1) in a book by Strauss (Author 2) you need to
mention both in your in-text reference. So the in-text reference would be written as:
Lim (Strauss 2004, p. 71) stated that … or
Lim’s study (cited in Strauss 2004, p. 71) indicates that … or
Lim’s 1972 study (Strauss 2004, p. 71) shows that … or
Strauss (2004, p. 71) in reporting Lim’s study, emphasized the aspect …
In the reference list you list only Strauss (Author 2 – the source you read) and not Lim (whose idea
you only read about in Strauss).
2. How do I present exact quotations?
Short quotations of fewer than thirty words should be enclosed in single quotation marks (‘….’) as
part of your own sentence accompanied by an in-text reference including a page number. For
example:
A recent report showed that ‘…universities are forced to expect a significant level of independence
from students in their learning’ (Pokorny & Pokorny 2005, p. 449).
Long quotations of more than thirty words should be written without any quotation marks,
indented (using Tab key) at the left, and introduced in your own words. A font one size smaller
should be used followed by an in-text reference including a page number. For example:
Developed by Learning Advisers and Librarians © UniSA, November 2009 5
Australians have developed:
an emerging interest in values, vision, meaning and purpose which is the common characteristic of
societies facing the end of a chronological era … each new decade is approached as if it holds some
new promise (Mackay 2005, p. 231).
The three dots after the word ‘era’ show that a word or words have been left out.
3. How do I reference two or three authors?
When there are two or three authors for a reference, all their family names are included in the in-
text reference. For example:
According to Cooper, Krever and Vann (2007) the use of this process leads to greater accuracy.
or
The use of this process leads to greater accuracy (Cooper, Krever & Vann 2007).
4. How do I reference more than three authors?
If there are four or more authors for a reference you use ‘et al.’ (which is Latin for ‘et alia’
meaning ‘and the others’) in the in-text reference, after the first family name listed on the source.
For example:
This has been suggested by Sandler et al. (2002) in their first Australian study.
Use ‘et al.’ for the first and every time you give an in-text reference for more than three authors.
However, all the authors are listed in your reference list in the same order that they are listed in the
original reference.
Can’t find an example to match your resource?
If none of the examples (pages 6 to 13) match the resource you want to reference. Identify the:
type of resource you want to reference (book, journal article, web page, blog, wiki, video etc).
A book in electronic form is still categorised as a book
author or authors. An author can be an individual, a number of individuals, an editor
(abbreviated to ed.) or a number of editors (eds), or an organisation (such as a business, a
government department). If there is no author, use the title (in italics)
year the resource was produced. If there is no date the use the abbreviation n.d. which stands
for ‘no date’
title of the resource.
Go to the example pages of this Guide, find a similar type of reference to use as a model. Then,
construct your reference using the main elements you have identified, including the:
author
year of publication
title
publication information.

6.1 Simple Trusses
• A truss composed of slender members joined together
at their end points
Planar Trusses
• Planar trusses used to support roofs and bridges
• Roof load is transmitted to the truss at joints by means
of a series of purlins
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.1 Simple Trusses
Planar Trusses
• The analysis of the forces developed in the truss
members is 2D
• Similar to roof truss, the bridge truss loading is also
coplanar
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.1 Simple Trusses
Assumptions for Design
1. “All loadings are applied at the joint”
– Weight of the members neglected
2. “The members are joined together by smooth pins”
– Assume connections provided the center lines of the
joining members are concurrent
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.1 Simple Trusses
Simple Truss
• Form of a truss must be rigid to prevent collapse
• The simplest form that is rigid or stable is a triangle
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.2 The Method of Joints
• For truss, we need to know the force in each
members
• Forces in the members are internal
forces
• For external force members, equations of equilibrium
can be applied
• Force system acting at each joint is coplanar and
concurrent
• ∑Fx = 0 and ∑Fy = 0 must be satisfied for equilibrium
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.2 The Method of Joints
Procedure for Analysis
• Draw the FBD with at least 1 known and 2 unknown
forces
• Find the external reactions at the truss support
• Determine the correct sense of the membe
r
• Orient the x and y axes
• Apply ∑Fx = 0 and ∑Fy =
0
• Use known force to analyze the
unknown forces

• FBD of each pin shows the effect of all the connected
members and external forces applied to the pin
• FBD of each member shows only the effect of the end
pins on the member

6.3 Zero-Force Members
• Method of joints is simplified using zero-force
members
• Zero-force members is supports with no loading
• In general, when 3 members form a truss joint, the 3rd
member is a zero-force member provided no external
force or support reaction is applied to the joint

Example 6.4
Using the method of joints, determine all the zero-force
members of the Fink roof truss. Assume all joints are pin
connected.

6.4 The Method of Sections
• Used to determine the loadings within a body
• If a body is in equilibrium, any part of the body is in
equilibrium
• To find forces within members, an imaginary section is
used to cut each member into 2 and expose each
internal force as external
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.4 The Method of Sections
• Consider the truss and section a-a as shown
• Member forces are equal and opposite to those acting
on the other part – Newton’s Law
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.4 The Method of Sections
Procedure for Analysis
Free-Body Diagram
• Decide the section of the truss
• Determine the truss’s external reactions
• Use equilibrium equations to solve member forces at
the cut session

• Consists of members joined together at their ends to
form 3D structure
• The simplest space truss is a tetrahedron
• Additional members would be redundant in supporting
force P
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.5 Space Trusses
Assumptions for Design
• Members of a space truss is treated as 2 force
members provided the external loading is at the joints
• When weight of the member is considered, apply it as
a vertical force, half of its magnitude applied at each
end of the member
Method of Joints

• Force analysis has at least 1 unknown force and 3
unknown forces
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
6.5 Space Trusses

• When imaginary section is passes through a truss it
must satisfied
∑Fx = 0, ∑Fy = 0, ∑Fz = 0
∑Mx = 0, ∑My = 0, ∑Mz = 0
• By proper selection, the unknown forces can be
determined using a single equilibrium equation

Management Implementation
Project Brief
Movable Electric Stacker (Lift and Stack Pallet)
(Sample picture)
Project Brief
You are working as design engineer at ACK workshop. You get a Request for Proposal (RfP) from the
School of Engineering (client). The RfP includes initially the design of a Movable Electric Stacker model.
This model will be produced later by another production firm that is selected by the client.
The client (represented by your professor) has no constraints regarding the material to be used. Each
member of the design team must individually develop a design idea, calculate reaction forces and forces at
the joints, draw it with suitable CAD software including all necessary details, and submit it later as drawing
folder. All dimensions must be in mm. Your design team needs to discuss advantages and disadvantages of
each design idea, decide on one of the designs using an engineering method, and prepare the design and
production documents. The group final design idea must be also analysed by using appropriate software (e.g.
Multiframe), and by performing detailed hand calculations. Software analysis is required only for the final
portfolio technical report. All detailed workshop and assembly drawings and documents need to be
presented and submitted to the production team by the beginning of week 6. The necessary material needed
to construct the model must be purchased by the design team as well. Purchased material is reimbursed by
submitting the receipts to ACK before the end of the semester. Furthermore, in order to qualify for
reimbursement, your purchase order needs to be approved by your professor.
Production teams must ensure that all necessary material and information to construct the model are
received from the designer teams by the end of week 6.
Requirements:
1. A stable user-friendly product must be created.
2. The total height of the stacker with all components is 800 mm.
3. The stacker should be movable along flat surfaces.
4. The forks length should not exceed 400 mm. This applies to the straddle legs as well.
5. The forks must be lifted by using a single DC motor.
6. The cross-sectional area of each fork must be rectangular, not exceeding the dimensions 40 mm x 20 mm.
7. The minimum lifting height of the fork is 400 mm.
8. The minimum load capacity of the stacker is 5 kg. Testing weight has a cross-section of 400 mm x 400
mm
9. The product (lifting height) x (load capacity) must be maximized.
10. The masts need to include trusses.
11. Joints could be either pin joints (using nuts and bolts) or welded or a combination of both.
12. No balancing weights are allowed on the back side of the stacker. However, stabilizing plates with a
maximum length of 150-200 mm can be used.
13. The product must not be painted and all work must be carried out on-campus (i.e. in workshop)
14. The model has to be ready for testing at the beginning of week 13.
15. Budget: 50.- KD per team (please hold receipts for purchased items to submit them to Client for
reimbursement before the end of the semester).
Students can enter the workshop only with safety overall and safety shoes. Using workshop machines is only
allowed under supervision of the workshop staff.
This is a team work. All team members are responsible for the produced model.

http://www.hndszj.com/eng/uploads/201008101822313
Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force
members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the
truss
changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

Working with Trusses:
Analyzing Structural Forces in Truss Members
• Truss members will carry either
– axial tension (T) forces or
– axial compression (C) forces
• There are two methods of evaluating
trusses.
– Method of Joints (static equilibrium of a point)
– Method of Sections (static equilibrium of a
rigid body)
15
Truss Analysis: Method of Joints
Evaluate an individual joint or pin connection.
• Treat each joint as a 2D particle in equilibrium
• Can have a maximum of two unknowns
• Can sum forces in x & y direction
16
Truss Analysis: Method of Sections
Evaluate a section including multiple joints.
• Treat as 2D rigid body in equilibrium
• Must cut through structural members to evaluate the force.
• Maximum of three unknowns (to solve everything)
• Can sum forces in x & y direction
• Can sum moments
17
Method of Approach for Truss
Problems
1. Solve for support reactions if needed.
2. Mark all members on the truss that need to be
solved.
3. Pick the joint / section for which you will draw your
FBD. Make sure you have the appropriate number
of unknowns.
4. ALWAYS assume unknown forces to be in
TENSION.
5. Be sure to designate answers as (T) or (C)
6. In subsequent FBDs, draw known forces in the
direction they actually act.

Can trusses have curved
members?
• Two-force members do not have to be
straight…
• The ideal answer is NO, but …
• Yes, if the members are sufficiently stiff
so that moments developed at the
connections are negligible.
• Curved members are not as cost-
effective.
