Solution methods for dynamic and non-linear finite element analysis by Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen

“…Although difficulties were still encountered in the linear static analysis of some structures, e.g. complex shells, most of the structures could already be analysed in a routine manner. …”

Lead isotopes as a palaeodietary tracer in southwestern South Africa by Scott, Mari

“…Samples were introduced into the system as solutions, producing an order of magnitude more precise results than laser ablation analysis on the same material. …”

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). …”

Seasonal and long-term change in the abundance, accumulation and distribution of beach litter within Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa by Opie, Brandon

“…There is a need to shift away from single-use plastic items (such as straws, earbuds and food packaging) and to find more sustainable alternatives.…”

Ion Pairing in Aqueous Metal Sulfates and Platinum Group Metal Ammonium Solutions by Matthews, Richard P

“…The formation of ion pairs disrupts the solvent structure where the hydration shells about the bivalent hexachlorometallates are more affected compared with the trivalent hexachlorometallates and these first shell waters in turn are more affected than those in the bivalent tetrachlorometallates. …”

The inertisation of the zeolites ZSM-5, mordenite and beta by chemical vapour deposition using tetraethoxysilane by Weber, Reinier Willem, Weber, Reinier Willem

“…The silica layer can also narrow the pore openings uniformly, thus increasing the shape selective properties of the zeolites even more. By implication, coating ZSM-5 in a shell of iso-structural Silicalite-1 may provide an inert layer around the ZSM-5 crystals, without necessarily altering the pore opening size. …”

The interaction of acidification and warming on the South African abalone, Haliotis midae, and the potential for mitigation in aquaculture by Lester, Nina Catherine

“…Warming conditions were within the thermal optimum ranges for H. midae and did not significantly affect abalone growth; however warming did bring about significant changes in Condition Factor, shell shape, and strength over time and shifted acid-base regulation towards a more stable status. …”
