Strongly orthotropic continuum mechanics
… dissertation is a theory of Strongly Orthotropic Continuum Mechanics that is derived entirely from an assertion of geometric strain indeterminacy. Implementable into the finite element method, it can resolve widespread kinematic misrepresentations and offer unique and purportedly exact …

Continuum: A Poetry Manuscript
<p>This project is a memoire-based collection of verse and prose poetry completed since I decided to try my hand at creative writing. For me, it is truly a "culminating project" because the subjects style in the seminar, and the creative spark I experienced while working on the MA degree in …

Discrete Continuum Robotic Structures
… capacity to generate hybrid hard-soft morphing continuum structures at very low cost at almost any scale. Human attempts to replicate nature-like systems to overcome modern engineered solutions, based on classical rigid mechanics, commonly lead to hyper-redundant and complicated designs. Novel …

Continuum models for fungal growth
Fungi generally exist as unicellular organisms (yeasts) or in a vegetative state in which a mycelium, i.e. an interconnected network of tubes (hyphae) is formed. The mycelium can operate over a very large range of scales (each hypha is only a few microns in diameter, yet mycelia can be kilometres …

Continuum modeling of polarizable systems
The basic equations embodying macroscopic conservation and balance statements applicable to polarizable media are derived phenomenologically. These general balance statements are then applied to the particular case of ferrofluids, thereby obtaining the governing equations for isothermal …

A continuum approach to lifestyle entrepreneurship.
… objectives present, and proposes the model of a continuum to portray these lifestyle business owners as being between low intensity and high intensity lifestyle goals and objectives. It is suggested that the typologies and subsequent lifestyle continuum presented in this study can be used by …

Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Corrugated Board
The storage of compressive loaded boxes in an environment with naturally varying humidity is a practical issue in corrugated board employment. Time dependent variables such as moisture content, strain fields, stress fields and material strength play important roles for the time to failure. …

Neurosis - Continuum [ Architecture As Urban Therapy ]
This dissertation is rooted within the personal struggle to understand the absurdity of spaces which exist within Woodstock, Cape Town. The project draws a psychological connection between the site and its absurdities, implying that spatial absurdity is the effect of problems of the personified …

Continuum structure in strong electromagnetic fields
[Pages missing ] In this chapter, the Dirac equation for spherically symmetric potentials is closely examined. Analytical solutions are found for a square well potential, the properties of which will be used later when the equation is solved for arbitrary potentials using numerical methods. The …

Continuum modeling of particle suspension conductivity
A suspension of network-forming, electrically conductive particles imparts electrical conductivity to an otherwise insulating medium. This effect can be used to great effect in many industrial applications. The ability to describe these networks and to predict their physical properties is a key …

CONFIGURATIONAL FORCES IN STRUCTURAL AND CONTINUUM OPTIMISATION
… deals with optimisation using the principles of continuum mechanics. Both shape and mesh optimisation will be covered. A unified approach will be introduced to obtain shape and mesh optimisation for hyperelastic, hyperelastodynamic and hyperelastoplastic settings. The approach makes use of the …

White Light Continuum for Broadband Nonlinear Spectroscopy
Supercontinuum (SC) generation, oftentimes referred to as white-light continuum (WLC), has been a subject of interest for more than 40 years. From the first observation of WLC in condensed media in the early 1970s to the first observation of WLC in gases in the mid-1980s, much work has been devoted …

The phosphorus transfer continuum under climate change
… to the movement of P across the land-water continuum yielding potentially detrimental impacts to water quality which underpin many ecosystem services. This thesis uses the ‘P transfer continuum’ as a framework to discuss and explore the possible impacts of climate change to P in the …

Accurate Continuum Theories For Condensed Matter Systems
… construction and application of novel accurate continuum theories to various many-body problems in condensed matter systems. We begin with the construction of a new "classical" density-functional theory for general molecular liquids which is based on an exact evaluation of the free energy of a …
