Experimental tests of fundamental economic theories
Chapter one of this dissertation provides an experimental test of a joint hypothesis implied by the constant relative risk averse model of first price sealed bid auction theory and standard risk preference theory. This test will be used to determine whether observed risk attitude is solely a …

Experimental tests of parallel impurity transport theory in Tokamak plasmas
… species that has an anisotropic pressure tensor. Experimental measurements in plasmas where the minority resonance layer is scanned show good qualitative and quantitative agreeinent with this extended theory. The sensitivity of 51/(nz) to fast-ions demstrates the opportunity for the impurity …

Some theoretical considerations related to the experimental tests of a Temporal Bell's inequality
… Although in the last few years there have been tests of the TBI on microscopic systems with the use of INR measurements [4] and on macroscopic systems using weak measurement [5], no one has ever implemented INR measurements on macroscopic systems in TBI tests so far. In addition, the NIM …

How motivated reasoning leads to tolerance of false claims: Three experimental tests of mechanisms
Many recent electoral events have been characterised by false claims which, despite abundant fact-checking, were often widely believed. This led to much talk about a ’post-truth’ politics. Meanwhile, an extensive literature confirms that false beliefs voters have about political issues are of- ten …

The strength of glulam beams with holes - A probabilistic fracture mechanics method and experimental tests
This thesis deals with experimental tests and methods for strength analysis of glulam beams with holes. Test results and methods for strength analysis available in literature are compiled and discussed. The methods considered comprise both code strength design methods and more general methods for …

Preliminary Test Predictions for Scale Ram-Air Parachute Testing
… to predict the aerodynamic performance for experimental tests of ram-air parachutes in a wind tunnel. A scaled experimental test setup is developed for determining the aerodynamic coefficients of lift (𝐶𝐿) and drag (𝐶𝐷) conducted in a wind tunnel. Additionally, a CFD approach where a …

Efficient finite element modeling of WT sections subjected to uniaxial tension
… bending in statically loaded members. Previous experimental tests conducted at West Virginia University [WVU] have shown that connection eccentricity induced bending effects have the potential to significantly reduce the net section rupture capacity of a section.;The present study is focused on …

Ultimate capacity of offshore platform conductor strings
… behavior is also reviewed. The results of seven experimental tests are evaluated and compared with the existing conductor design criteria. The test matrix calls for various amounts of lateral loading to be imposed on the conductor system. Axial load, applied to simulate the weight of inner …

A numerical study of surface air temperature response to vertical mixing and momentum extraction by wind farms and the impacts of wind farms on mesoscale boundaries
… run with no wind turbines is compared to three experimental tests, each with differing thrust and TKE coefficients. The experimental tests are fist compared to observed data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data on the Terra and Aqua Satellites. It is shown that the …

Estudo sobre a ocorrência de ressonâncias paramétricas numa plataforma TLWP próxima a um FPSO em ondas irregulares
… of studies done on observed phenomena during experimental tests of a TLWP platform coupled with a FPSO. The tests were performed on scaled models. The results from regular sea states show that the system presents excessive amplifications for a band of wave periods and heights in the yaw …

Circular plates subjected to localised blast loads : some insights into the mechanism of tearing and the energy required
The scope of this study extends to experimental tests of plates subjected to blast loads with the intention of measuring the velocity of fragments and the subsequent modelling of the plates. A comparison of the results of the numerical and experimental results must be undertaken. An energy balance …
