The purpose of this study was to develop analytical and numerical solutions to be used in the design of thick walled high pressure vessels for optimal location of a cross bore. In addition, the effects of internally applied ...
In this work, an investigation on the fraction of tyre pyrolysis oil with a similar distillation range to that of automotive diesel (150 – 360 oC) was carried out to determine its suitability as an alternative or additive ...
Presently there exist a lot of controversies about the mechanical properties of nanomaterials. Several convincing reasons and justifications have been put forward for the controversies. Some of the reasons are varying ...
Monitoring the condition of equipment in industry is very important to prevent unplanned breakdowns and to prolong their life. This is necessary, since it is not always economically viable to stop equipment at regular ...
A project investigating the behaviour of an assembled preloaded rotor was performed for an M-Tech qualification in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Pre-Stressing of mechanical structures is widely applied to improve ...
Strict emission legislation has forced industry in general to seriously consider the
negative impact it has on the environment, specifically concerning emissions from
burning fossil fuel into the atmosphere. In cases ...
Bearing condition monitoring and fault diagnosis have been studied for many years.
Popular techniques are applied through advanced signal processing and pattern
recognition technologies. The subject of the research was ...
