Abstract:

This thesis examines the fundamental equations of the branch of linear oscillatory dynamics known as Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). The investigation described is limited to the study of two, point coupled multi-modal sub-systems which form the basis for most of the accepted theory in this field. Particular attention is paid to the development of exact classical solutions against which simplified approaches can be compared. These comparisons reveal deficiencies in the usual formulations of SEA in three areas, viz., for heavy damping, strong coupling between sub-systems and for systems with

Abstract:

Uncertainty involved in the safe and comfort design of the structures is a major concern of civil engineers. Traditionally, the uncertainty has been overcome by utilizing various and relatively large safety factors for loads and structural properties. As a result in conventional design of for example tall buildings, the designed structural elements have unnecessary dimensions that sometimes are more than double of the ones needed to resist normal loads. On the other hand the requirements for strength and safety and comfort can be conflicting. Consequently, an alternative approach for design of

This thesis is primarily aimed at carrying out analysis of Energy Bags, reinforced fabric bags used for subsea compressed air energy storage. Subsea compressed air energy storage is a completely new method of large-scale energy storage designed to be integrated with direct-compression offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters. Energy Bags are impermeable bags anchored to the seabed at significant depths (e.g. 500m) in which high pressure air, compressed by specially designed wind turbines and wave energy converters, is stored at pressures roughly equal to the hydrostatic pressure of th

The influence of measurement errors and noise in the modal data was studied in all cases. To validate the ex

The work focuses on the development of experimental techniques and data analysis methods for the detection, location and assessment of AE from prestressed and reinforced concrete specimens. This thesis reveals that AE can be used to detect the onset of corrosion activity in wire in the interface between prestressed concrete and mortar as found in prestressed concrete pipes. Furthermore, this technique can be used to locate the corrosion activi

A matrix stiffness method based on a secant stiffness approach is used providing a full temperature deformation history. The approach has previously been used for the analysis of continuous beams and is extended in the present work to include axial forces. These not only affect the longitudinal displacement, but also reduce the member stiffness and create secondary moments due to the p-delta effect. The influence of mater

Abstract:

Noise and vibration are important design issues for many types of vehicles such as ships, cars, and aeroplanes. Structure borne sound, which may be of relatively high frequency, usually emanates from an engine or some other type of localised source and propagates through the vehicle. Excessive vibration levels, and thus structural damage, may occur while structural acoustic interactions may lead to unacceptable interior noise. In the analysis of energy transmission between plate structures, it is common practice to consider only bending modes (or waves) of the structure. However if the concern

Abstract:

The magnitude of damage caused to the United States (US) coast due to hurricanes has increased significantly in the last decade. During the period 2004-2005, the US experienced seven of the costliest hurricanes in the country's history (NWS TPC-5, 2007) leading to an estimated loss of ~ $158 billion. The present method for predicting hurricane losses, HAZUS (HAZard US), is solely based on hurricane hazard and damage caused to building envelopes only and not to structural systems (Vickery et al., 2006). This method does not take into account an intermediate step that allows for better damage es

Abstract:

The advent of multi-processor systems has motivated programmers to develop multi-threaded and multi-process applications on shared memory data structures. In these applications, multiple processes read and update shared data structure concurrently, which may lead to race conditions resulting in incoherent memory. To ensure exclusivity of access to this shared memory, programmers have been using locks. Lock-based concurrency is a pessimistic approach that assumes conflicts among concurrent processes to occur frequently.However, if few conflicts occur, lock-based concurrency unnecessarily reduce

This work addresses the characterisation of the micro-structure of fibre bundles in reinforcement textiles for composites and its influence on resin flow in liquid composite moulding (LCM) processes. Random variations in local filament spacing result in a non-uniform flow velocity field. Merging flow fronts due to differences in local flow velocities can lead to gas entrapment in the matrix phase. This results in formation of micro-scale defects, which can significantly reduce the matrix-dominated mechanical properties of the finished composite.
