Stability behaviour and dynamic response of cooling towers subjected to wind loading by Kucherera, Grant Tarwirei

“…In this study, a linear eigenvalue buckling parametric analysis is presented for various cooling tower shell geometries. The shells are subjected to increasing wind pressures (speeds) to observe the trends in the critical buckling pressures/speeds at which the shell first buckles and the corresponding buckling modes. …”

Vector acoustic miss distance indication by Thomson, R G W

“…A feasibility study showed that the task would be multi-disciplinary entailing aerodynamics telemetry, weapons performance studies and investigation of the techniques of measurement of shell location currently in use. The decision was made by the author to concentrate on a study of the technique measurements of shell location and the analysis of such measurements in view of the fact that, at least in isolation, knowledge of the other factors mentioned was fairly complete although unevenly spread in South Africa. …”

Buckling behaviour of thin concrete arch dams by Letsika, Malefetsane David

“…When subjected to the hydrostatic pressure applied by the retained water, the shell undergoes mostly compressive internal reactions, which can lead in the thin shell buckling. …”

Boltzmann equation studies of the off-equilibrium QCD phenomena by Viljoen, Brandon

“…To that end, a useful tool from the stage where we can assume the partons to be on-shell is the relativistic Boltzmann equation. We develop parallel code to solve the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation in 3 + 1 dimensions (without simplifying assumptions on possible symmetries of the dynamics). …”
