The dynamics of geometrically compliant mooring systems
… typically require the use of a sophisticated numerical model. This thesis describes one such model and uses that model along with experimental results to develop simpler forms for understanding the dynamic response of geometrically compliant moorings. The numerical program combines the box …

GaAs/AlGaAs far-infrared quantum cascade laser
… conduction band are important for this work, a numerical program code was developed for the valence band to supplement the available tools for the conduction band. The steady state rate equations for the proposed quantum well structure were solved self-consistently for several different carrier …

Small craft motion in reflected long-crested seas
… but, surprisingly, these were fairly A numerical program was undertaken to attempt to correlate and extend the results of the experiments. Linear diffraction theory as represented by the programs FACGEN3 and WELSAS3 was used to calculate vessel movements for various wave periods, …

An integrated approach to damage ship survivability assessment
… undertaken, culminating in the development of a numerical tool for simulating ship behaviour while accounting for progressive flooding and the ensuing effects of floodwater motion. General features that have been accounted for in a new purposely developed numerical program PROTEUS3 include the …

Multiaxial Fatigue Life Extension of Steel Elements Using Shape-Memory Alloy/Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (SMA/CFRP) Patch
… a detailed documentation of the experimental and numerical investigation of the behavior, performance, and implementation of a self-stressing (thermally activated) shape-memory alloy (SMA) / carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) patch for the repair of cracked steel elements. The SMA/CFRP patch …

Determination of Optimal Stable Channel Profiles
A numerical model which determines the geometry of a threshold channel was recently developed. Such a model is an important tool for designing unlined irrigation canals and channelization schemes, and is useful when considering flow regulation. However, its applicability is limited in that its …

Back-analysis methods for optimal tunnel design
… tunnel response prediction but also more complex numerical methods. Today a wealth of monitoring techniques is available for tunnel monitoring. Progress has also been recorded in the area of back-analysis in geotechnical engineering by various researchers. One of the most frequently encountered …

Lateral outflow from supercritical channels
… to the main channel axis to determine if the numerical program was able to capture the hydraulic effects observed from the physical model. The results from the program are in agreement of the adverse affects that were seen at the different pipe angles. The program was able to capture the …

Behaviour of single batter piles and pile groups under lateral soil movement in sand
… problem, a comprehensive experimental and numerical program were carried out to investigate the behaviour of batter pile foundations embedded in sandy soil when subjected to lateral soil movements. In the experimental work, a series of model tests on single batter pile subjected to a soil …

Unsteady hydrodynamics of ships moving in confined waterways
… are two-fold:1) To develop a linear unsteady numerical program which is capable of simulating the unsteady free surface effects. This program will accurately capture the formation and evolution of unsteady waves.2) To devise a real-time updating mesh method that handles changes in waterway …

Foundation response to ground movements induced by tunnel excavation
In this study, continuum numerical approaches based on the two-stage method were developed to enable the efficient analysis of tunnelling-induced effects on shallow and deep foundations. These approaches were applied in the back analyses of well-documented field case histories and centrifuge …
