Monolith Catalyst Supports for Hydrogen Production by Mzolo, Ntokozo

“…Increasing slurry solid content results in an increase in washcoat loading which, in turn, results in thick and inhomogeneous layers which, in turn, arc more prone to cracking and to lo,v mcclmnical and thermal stability. …”

Zn-Al and Mg-Al layered double hydroxides as nanostructured carriers for vitamins by Foraida, Zahraa Ismail Ahmed

“…In general, the intercalated vitamin amount was higher for the Zn-Al LDH systems as the Zn is more electronegative than Mg leading to more attraction between the LDH layers and the guest molecules. …”

The response of quadrangular plates to buried encased charges by Warncke, Dale

“…In general, the impulse and midpoint deflection decreased with an increase in total distance for all loading scenarios. Burn diameters were observed on plates loaded in air, with dissimilar scorch areas observed on plates subjected to buried charges. …”

A method for in situ SEM fracture studies of brittle materials using the double torsion technique : application to nuclear graphite by Rosie, Kathryn A

“…It was concluded that the technique displayed merit in its ability to contribute to the knowledge base of slow cracking and damage development in brittle materials, with the advantage being that the gearing ratios of the current device resulted in slower specimen loading rates, which were more controlled, than reported previously.…”

High throughput experimentation: a validation study for use in catalyst development by Luchters, Niels

“…High throughput and combinatorial experimentation is becoming more and more used in catalysis research. The benefits of parallel experiments are not only limited to shorten the time - to - market, but also give opportunities to study the process in more depth by performing more experiments. …”

Fatigue Behaviour of CFRP Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams by James, Valontino Ruwhellon

“…The performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as bridges in the heavy haul industry, may be severely impacted by fatigue when subjected to repeated cyclic loading. Fatigue not only reduces load carrying capacity and serviceability limit states (SLS), but it can cause structural failure even when the components are subjected to low stress range cyclic loading. …”

Structural Investigation of Negative Gaussian Curvature Shells as Liquid-Storage Vessels by Mahlelebe, Hlasoa

“…Hyperboloid of revolution shell has been found to resist self-weight stresses better when used as a cooling tower, and it is constructed to heights up to 200m or even more (Zingoni, 1999). Concrete can be moulded into almost any shape, provided the formwork is well constructed to give the desired shape. …”
