Computational simulation of bone remodelling post reverse total shoulder arthroplasty by Liedtke, Helen

“…In this procedure up to 75 % complications are reported in some clinical series. It is therefore necessary, for the design of successful implants, to understand the loading environment to promote bone growth in the correct areas. …”

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

“…This makes it possible to be built into a large-capacity supersized tank (Zingoni, Mokhothu & Enoma, 2015). Some research has emerged on the analysis and design aspects of some elevated liquid containment vessels such as cylindrical, spherical, conical, and an Inze tank (a tank of compound geometry comprising of spherical top closure, vertical cylindrical sides, a conical transition in a lower part and a spherical bottom closure). …”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of The Behavior of Screen Grid ICF Walls by El Maghraby, Yosra Hesham

“…Finite Element Modeling was performed in order to create a reliable model, validated by the experimental results, on which future intensive parametric study can be performed The monotonic loading experimental program was designed to investigate some test parameters; connection of the wall panel to the footing (dowel effect), grid size/ percentage of perforation, steel bars distribution, reinforcement ratio, use of steel fibers in the concrete mixture, effect of openings and opening sizes. …”

Influence of symmetry on the stability behaviour of plane and space frames by Kaluba, Chisanga

“…Lastly this study found that, plane frames that are Cnv symmetric in terms of loading and subjected to Cnv/2 loading display the buckling behaviour of a plane frame symmetric to Cnv with respect to loading and stiffness for the case where n/2 is even. …”
