Measurements and finite element modelling of transformer flux with dc and power frequency current by Chisepo, Hilary Kudzai

“…Saturation inductance (Lsat) is an important parameter for input into mid- to low-frequency lumped parameter transformer models that are used in electromagnetic transients software such as PSCAD/EMTDC, but it is not easily measured and is seldom provided by manufacturers. Some Lsat measurements on the 1p4L test transformers are presented in this thesis, along with some 3D FEM analyses. …”

Lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of monosymmetric steel sections formed with flange upstands by Mudenda, Kenny

“…Monosymmetric sections, however, do offer some advantages over doubly symmetric beams if the monosymmetry is applied in a way that it can be exploited. …”

Numerical simulation of nuclear reactor isotope depletion by Keyser, Tinus

“…The output of the reactor burnup simulation was compared to that of ORIGEN (The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Isotope Generation And Depletion Code) for a Light Water Reactor at constant load to a burnup of 33GWd/ton. The output of the simulation was relatively similar to that of ORIGEN, but differed in some marked ways, e.g. plutonium breeding, which suggested that the neutron flux calculations and neutron absorption by U238 was not similarly modelled as in ORIGEN. …”

Condition monitoring of lithium-ion batteries using broadband multisine excitation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy by Waligo, Alfred

“…Lithium-ion(Li-ion) cells are some of the cells to which it has been applied. The impedance spectra obtained from EIS can be used to estimate various batteries State of Health (SOH) and State of Charge (SOC) characteristics. …”

Identification and quantification of bacteria associated with cultivated Spirulina and impact of physiological factors by Mogale, Motlalekgomo

“…This raises concerns relating to suitability for human ingestion and the need to control bacterial growth to prevent contamination by pathogens and to minimise the overall bacterial load. Further, bacterial contamination in processed (harvested and dried) Spirulina biomass has been reported, suggesting that some of these contaminants may end up in the market ready product where appropriate processing approaches are not used. …”

Domes and Crosses: Exploiting synergies in two methodologies for biaxial tensile testing of membrane tissues by Pons, Daniel Jonathan

“…Biaxial tensile testing is the preferred method for mechanically testing membranous tissue as it can capture the tissue load response more holistically than uniaxial methods. …”
