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. …”

Analysis of a car door subjected to side impact by Long, Christopher Robert

“…Drop test experiments on beams with square and round cross -sections were carried out to validate the equivalent finite element model. The drop mass and height of the striker was varied such that the transient response of the isolated side impact beam matched the response of the beam in the simulation of the equivalent door model and full vehicle model. …”

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). …”

The effectiveness of Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area in the conservation of rocky shore biodiversity by Baliwe, Ndiviwe Gabriel

“…Secondly, to disentangle the effects of harvesting from those of alien invasions, I made spatial comparisons using my 2017 data, between two harvested sites and two sites in a no-take zone. …”

A study of nucleon unstable states produced in direct nuclear reactions by Hartmann, Kurt Miklos

“…An expression is derived for the wave function of such an excited nucleus, using the continuum shell-model theory. The bound and resonant states of the shell-model Hamiltonian are treated on an equal footing. …”

Multi-dimensional simulations of bow shocks of massive, high-velocity runaway stars by Ramalatswa, Katlego Jafta

“…This study serves as the foundation of future work in which we will i) investigate the potential of observing these HVR bow shocks by making multi-wavelength estimates using established radiative transfer codes (e.g., TORUS) and producing synthetic images at different wavelengths (e.g., ultraviolet, Hα, infrared and radio), ii) couple these hydrodynamic models to established stellar evolutionary codes (e.g., MESA), and iii) include the effect of magnetic field and stellar rotation.…”
