Author:Jansen van Rensburg, Gerhardus J; Wilke, DN; Kok, SDate:Oct 2011In the present study, numerical results obtained on different but related shapes are compared by using a non-rigid mapping. Non-rigid registration is employed to obtain mesh representations of different human skull geometries with the same ...Read more
Author:Dedekind, MO; Harris, LEDate:03 Jan 1996A case study of certain gas turbine stator vanes which fail prematurely is presented, with a view to determining whether operational procedure might have caused the failures. The engines had been operated from a ‘hot-and-high’ environment, ...Read more
Author:Botha, N; Kok, S; Inglis, HMDate:Dec 2012Corneal biomechanical properties are an important element in the study of corneal biomechanics. There are currently two techniques to obtain these properties; an inflation test and the strip extensiometry test. As the inflation test has been ...Read more
Author:Patanaik, A; Anandjiwala, RDDate:Mar 2008This paper presents the results from a study on the water permeability behaviour of nonwovens produced from the hemp fibres. Three different types of needle-punched nonwovens are produced by varying the feed rate of fibres during the ...Read more
Author:Botha, Natasha; Inglis, HDate:Sep 2018The modeling and simulation of composite materials requires the incorporation of anisotropic material models, as well as appropriate failure criteria or damage models. This was normally done by developing in-house codes or writing additional ...Read more
Author:Van Wyk, Marius; Meyer, PDate:Jul 2016The ribbon microphone serves as an excellent aid to learn computer simulation and computational skills. Simulation of this seemingly simple device is all but trivial. The ribbon microphone is an all-in-one example for simulations in acoustics, ...Read more
Author:Loveday, Philip W; Wood, DDate:Jan 2006A non-destructive examination procedure based on a guided wave inspection approach is used for the acoustic examination of glass fibre reinforced composite rods. This paper contains an investigation into the characteristics of guided wave ...Read more
