Abstract:
In recent years, we have witnessed the introduction of hybrid powertrains into the world of automobile racing. When compared to their conventional counter parts, hybrid powertrains demonstrate increased complexity with added degrees of freedom and technical barriers. For this reason, optimization of these systems becomes significantly more difficult requiring novel techniques.<br>This thesis documents the work performed to develop simulation techniques intended for the optimization of a series hybrid powertrain which was itself designed for an open wheeled, single seat race vehicle.

Abstract:
The elasticity equations have been solved to an arbitrary degree of precision for a thick-walled orthotropic cylinder, subject to axisymmetric loading. The theory is directly applicable to a layered composite material where each layer is orthotropic in character. The solution proceeds by representing the deformations of the cylinder wall as a power series in a non-dimensional radial parameter. By introducing a generalized stress resultant and a generalized stiffness for the material, a series of coupled second order differential equations in the coefficients of the deformation series results.

The total creep contraction of the alloys was found to be well correlated using an empirical equation. On the basis of this equation, a parametrical relationship was derived which allowed the total creep contraction to be related to the applied stress, the temperature and the time of test, so that a quantitative assessment of compressive creep of the alloys could be made under dif

Thesis (MScEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Air pollution is a major concern III the Cape Metropole. A major contributor to the air pollution problem is road transport. For this reason, a national vehicle emissions study is in progress with the aim of developing a national policy regarding motor vehicle emissions and control. Such a policy could bring about vehicle emission control and regulatory measures, which may have far-reaching social and economic effects. Air pollution models are important tools 10 predicting the effectiveness and the possible secondar

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.<br>In order to meet the requirements for the MFA degree at the University of Cape Town I proposed to create a body of sculptures based on studies initiated during my year of study for the Advanced Diploma in Art at the Michaelis School of Fine Art. These studies involved the observation and formal analysis of certain functional structures relating mostly to industry, and led to the making of sculptures characterised by formal reduction and abstracted 'constructivist' forms. My intention for the MFA study was to pursue this methodology and to extend the scop

Abstract:
L'analyse dynamique intègre des outils propres aux systèmes dynamiques (comme l'opérateur de transfert) au cadre de la combinatoire analytique, et permet ainsi l'analyse d'un grand nombre d'algorithmes et objets qu'on peut associer naturellement à un système dynamique. Dans ce manuscrit de thèse, nous présentons, dans la perspective de l'analyse dynamique, l'étude probabiliste de plusieurs problèmes qui semblent à priori bien différents : l'analyse probabiliste de la fonction de récurrence des mots de Sturm, et l'étude probabiliste de l'algorithme du “logarithme continu”. Les mots de Sturm con
