Monometallic and multimetallic complexes as precatalysts in the hydroformylation of olefins by Siangwata, Shepherd

“…Kinetic studies using the mononuclear precatalyst were investigated by evaluating the effect of temperature, syngas total pressure and catalyst loading on the rate of hydroformylation. The activation energy for the hydroformylation of 1-octene was calculated to be 62 kJ mol-1 and the experimental rate constants were found to be in good agreement with the predicted rate data obtained using a modified fundamental mechanismbased rate model. …”

A proposed segmented precast concrete spherical cap: geometry, structural stability and construction by Kenawy, Maha

“…The results of this study demonstrate that the proposed precast system and connection design perform efficiently when compared to the monolithically-cast counterpart, particularly under uniform loading conditions. Additional insights on the properties and solution parameters of finite element modelling of concrete shell structures are presented based on the structural analysis of this work. …”

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

“…The drop mass and height were chosen such that the maximum deflection in the car door impact test would be of similar magnitude to the deflecti n of the door in full vehicle model when subjected to an impact load in accordance with the FMVSS 214 Standard - which requires that the vehicle be projected into a rigid vertical 10 inch diameter pole at 29 km/h in a direction 75° to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle . …”
