Elements of study

This article presents the study of calculating the draft of continuous floating bridge assembled from plastic buoys. The author calculates the draft by two different methods, which are theoretical calculation and finite element modeling using SAP2000 software, to verify the discrepancy of the results of these two methods.

To enhance load-bearing capacity and prevent structural damage, reinforced concrete elements are often strengthened with additional layers of material. This study investigates the bonding performance between Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) and reinforced concrete slabs through four-point bending tests.

This study investigates the impact of the flipped classroom model on self-learning ability development through teaching “The Periodic Table of Elements” at a high school in Tay Ninh province. Surveys into the reality of the usage of FCM and the development of SLA at several high schools in Tay Ninh province show that most teachers care about the development of SLA for students. However, they assign tasks to students in the form of questions after the lessons.

In this study, a new method for analyzing safety factor (Fs) of natural slopes was developed. Rigid-plastic constitutive equation for soil materials and a slope stability analysis framework were formulated to account for both soil properties and slope geometry (slope angle β and slope height H).

This research aims to numerically simulate the performance of the tested PC utility poles using Applied Element Method (AEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM). The simulation results demonstrate that both AEM and FEM effectively reproduce the load-displacement relationship observed in the test. Additionally, this study discusses the material models employed in simulations, considering the limitations inherent in numerical modeling.

This thesis presents a study of impedance optimisation of active microstrip patch antennas to multiple frequency points. A single layered aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna has been optimised to match the source reflection coefficient of a transistor in designing an active antenna. The active aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna was optimised to satisfy Global Positioning System (GPS) frequency specifications.

The study is focused on the experience of conferencing from the perspective of young people (offenders), their families and supportive others. Of particular interest is the role of the offender’s family (and/or significant others), the nature of their support, and how this impinges on the conference and its outcomes. Although the supporters’ role is pivotal in the conferencing process, its significance has remained largely implicit in the research to date. The objective of the study is to explore this crucial element, using an interpretive approach.

This study focuses on experimental testing and subsequent numerical analysis of impacted and pre-loaded composite coupons and bonded composite scarf joints under varying impact conditions. A methodology will be developed for the numerical modelling of preloaded impact tests to enable capture of critical failure modes and ultimate failure. The main aim is to validate a modelling strategy that will provide accurate failure characterisation of the tested joints using numerical analysis.

The Australian music industry is growing and developing yet specific information about the ways in which distribution systems develop is limited. In this study I examined the growth and change of the Australian music value chain. This includes the development of digital distribution systems and the effect that peer‐to‐peer technology has on system development, specifically the disintermediation between consumers and artists to the detriment of the multinational value chains.

The main aim of this study is to investigate utilising root-like architectures to improve the interfacial strength of pin-integrated hybrid composite-metal structures. Joints are critical elements in aircraft structures and require special consideration due to their vital role in the structural integrity of airframes. Although bonded and bolted systems are used commonly in engineering applications, pinning technologies have shown tremendous potential for hybrid joints.

This study explores the way in which Primary School Principals perceive and experience emotions in their day-to-day lives. To understand the varying elements of school leadership a qualitative research approach using semi-structured interviews was used, which was appropriate due to the social and psychological nature of the topic being studied. Two interviews were conducted a year apart with participants to provide a detailed examination of the participants’ experiences and to gain deeper insights into their perceptions of emotions in their work.

This thesis develops a contingency-based model for competitive advantage, tested over time on a sample of rapidly growing small-to-medium enterprises. Incorporating two independent studies, the project addresses interactions between specific elements of strategic orientation, strategic behaviour, firm performance, while examining the moderating role of environmental turbulence.

This thesis examines the elements of career growth that influence and shape organisational commitment and job satisfaction in the context of a ‘closed’ government agency in Malaysia. While a number of studies report empirical research in the private sector, as yet there has been little research published on this in the public sector. To address this research deficiency, a mixed methods approach was employed in this study.

This thesis derives closed form equations to describe electromagnetic device characteristics for a toroid, solenoid and a case study induction machine. By considering stored magnetic field energy, this approach allows the relationship between electrical, magnetic and kinetic energy to be quantified and analyzed in ways that allows improved accuracy compared with conventional magnetic circuit modeling methods. This thesis also provides insights into how geometric parameters impact energy transfer and operational characteristics of electromagnetic devices.

This study examined the phenomenon of residual protection by suspending the operation of established ICCP systems in two wharves located in southern Victoria and monitoring the effect on the passivity of the steel via electrochemical testing. The results of the study confirm that the steel in selected elements within these structures remained passive once the ICCP system was interrupted. The primary factor in determining which elements remained passive, and the duration of passivity was the amount of charge injected into the element over the life of the ICCP system.
