Finite element modelling of voided slab bridge decks using orthotropic plate theory by De Kock, Warrick

“…The net effect of using a two-dimensional analysis is the averaging out of the stress transverse distribution, which cannot predict the peak stresses around the voids. The orthotropic models compared more favourably with the 3D model than the isotropic models with increasing void diameter ratio. …”

Structure incorporation of model uncertainty for Bayesian adaptive tracking and its application to maritime surveillance by Bradshaw, Charles

“…However, we propose that the current tendency is to restrict the inference to a subtask (e.g. classification), rather than phrasing the entire task, including the adaptive observation model, within the Bayesian inference. In this thesis we develop a framework for simultaneous modelling and estimation (SMAE), in which the common Bayesian recursive estimator (BRE) is extended to include estimation of the underlying hidden Markov model (HMM). …”

Application of the fast model from value engineering to capture and communicate project lessons learnt by Mguti, Maclean M M

“…Purpose - This research investigated the advantages of using a diagramming tool such as the Functional Analysis System Technique (FAST) model to enhance the effectiveness of capturing and communicating lessons learnt onto future projects. …”

Towards identifying platinum anchor sites on carbon via a model electrochemical system by Fortuin, Adrian Charles

“…The interaction between Pt and its carbon support was investigated by a model electrochemical system. This entailed aggressively oxidising a two-dimensional carbon substrate, i.e. highly orientated pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and mirror finish graphite (MFG) quartz crystal, to incorporate oxygen terminated groups into the graphitic matrix. …”

Numerical modelling of onshore wind turbine gravity foundations susceptible to cyclic soil degradation by Seymour, Steven

“…This was undertaken by: (1) analysing a case study of a wind farm in South Africa, and quantifying the effect of cyclic degradation on the foundation design for three separate ground profiles; (2) performing a parametric study to identify key parameters controlling cyclic degradation in the context of wind turbine foundations. Numerical modelling was undertaken to investigate these objectives, through the development of three-dimensional finite element models in the software package RS3 by Rocscience. …”
