Abstract:

This thesis looks at various problems relating to the value distribution of certain discrete potentials. Chapter 1 - Background material is introduced, the motivation behind this work is explained, and existing results in the area are presented. Chapter 2 - By using a method based on a result of Cartan, the existence of zeros is shown for potentials in both the complex plane and real space. Chapter 3 - Using an argument of Hayman, we expand on an established result concerning these potentials in the complex plane. We also look at the consequences of a spacing of the poles. Chapter 4 - We exten

Abstract:

A novel method of predicting the multiaxial high-cycle fatigue strength of metallic components is proposed and verified for various steel, aluminium and cast iron alloys. The proposed Fatigue Damage Function shows superior multiaxial fatigue strength prediction compared to the established methods of Gough and Pollard, McDiarmid and Carpinteri and Spagnoli. A new material property, the Normal Stress Sensitivity Factor, is also introduced and its applicability is verified according to published test results of sixteen different structural alloys.

Abstract:

When a structure with an in-plane discontinuous frame is used, a discontinuous load path is formed due to the irregularity. This is continuous load path can lead to the failure of certain elements and the structure as a whole when the structure is exposed to lateral loading. In this study, an in-plane discontinuous frame structure is exposed to gravity as well as lateral loading due to which a discontinuous load path is formed. Due to the discontinuous load path, higher value of axial load is developed on a beam which is generally designed considering it as a flexural member. The main objectiv

Abstract:

The linear stability of high speed-viscous plane Couette and Couette-Poiseuille flows are investigated numerically. The conservation equations along with Sutherland&amp<br>#65533<br>s viscosity law are studied using a second-order finite difference scheme. The basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small-amplitude normalmode disturbance. The small-amplitude disturbance equations are solved numerically using a global method using QZ algorithm to find all the eigenvalues at finite Reynolds numbers, and the incompressible limit of these equations is investigated for Couet

Abstract:

Fatigue, or failure of material due to repeated cyclic loading, is one of the most common causes of mechanical failures. The risk of fatigue in a load carrying component is often lowered by adding material, thereby reducing stresses. This increases the component weight, reducing the performance of the component and increasing its manufacturing cost. There is thus a need to design components to be as light as possible, while keeping the risk of fatigue at a low enough level, i.e. there is a need for optimization of the component subject to fatigue constraints. This thesis deals with design aga

For an electrical utility, the unplanned outage of a major plant item can lead to a substantial loss of revenue. In addition, outage costs must take into account the cost of any required repairs, or even replacements.

The condition monitoring techniques available to a utility are related to the quality and quantity of data present. In order to capture the dynamics of complex systems, high frequency data is preferred. Lack of a sufficiently high sampling rate can rend

This project is about mass tourism engagement with place in Halkidiki, Greece. It seeks to understand in a critical way how mass tourists engage with place through their actual doings and their everyday practices and performances in Halkidiki. The study is routed in the understanding that mass tourism is an embodied act that is full of performances, doings and possibilities and that the holiday is not just 'passive' or 'package' but is alive and vivid. In doing so, I move away from social constructions of the mass tourist as a passive consumer, towards a more nuanced and critical understanding

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the ways in which young people conceptualise crime, policing, safety and security in their own localities. It draws upon primary empirical research to elicit the experiences and perceptions of young people in two coastal resorts. The methods employed in this research give voice to young people and aim to provide a greater understanding of their lives. An ethnographic study was conducted in two coastal resorts, one in England and one in Wales, and access to young people was facilitated through centre-based youth organisations and outreach work in the communities over a peri

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The real-life problem in strategy communication is generally defined as that strategic plans are not generally well communicated to the workforce and therefore not executed to their full potential. This leads to subordinate problems such as that the strategic plan is not bought into by the employees, which leads to a lack of commitment and involvement. When not well understood, the strategic plan loses its motivational power because employees do not know what their role is. The strategy thus is not likely to have the desir

Abstract:

In March 2010, parents and community activists in rural Sunflower County, Mississippi, organized and enacted a boycott of the local public schools, which led to a comprehensive accreditation audit by the Mississippi Department of Education and the subsequent takeover of the local education agency. This study examines the boycott's connections to local discourses of protest in the Black community, to local histories and contemporary quality of life, and to the circulations of power evident in the grassroots activism and in the state intervention. This work is situated in an interdisciplinary th
