Experimental study

This article presents the experimental results on the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with textile-reinforced concrete (TRC). Four RC beams were made of B22.5 grade concrete, and the TRC strengthening layer utilized Sigratex Grid 350 textile, with fine-grained concrete Sikagrout 214-11 serving as the binder.

Nowadays, there are many factors causing the decrease of male reproductive function such as diet, routine, chemical, ... But some of them have not been paid appropriate attention to, especially the use of paracetamol, which has a significant negative effect on the reproductive process. In this study, we will summarize the results of several studies on the harmful effects of prolonged high-dose use of paracetamol on sperm number, quality, portability and testicular morphology in experimental animals and humans.

A large number of studies have demonstrated the wound-healing effects of LLLT in vitro, in animal models, and in clinical practice. However, there are also differences in the study results, which are dose and wavelength dependent of LLLT. Objective: Evaluation of the wound healing process in experimental animals treated with low- level laser therapy in clinical and histopathology.

Magnetic bearing systems have received much attention in the research community for the past decades. Its inherent nonlinearity and open-loop instability present challenges for controller design. This thesis investigates and designs model predictive control (MPC) systems for an experimental Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) laboratory system. A host-target development environment of real-time control system with hardware in the loop (HIL) is used for implementation of the predictive control systems. In this thesis, both continuous and discrete time model predictive controllers are studied.

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 aim of this Master of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis is to study the structural response and failure of aerospace grade composites during exposure to fire. Key aspects of the research are to analyse the thermal and mechanical responses of laminates and sandwich composites in high temperature and fire environments, which result in softening and structural failure. The research is concentrated on carbon/epoxy laminates and sandwich composites, which are the most common composite materials used in aerospace structures.

The focus of this thesis was to study the chemotaxonomic relationship of selected southern Australian marine brown algae of the genera Cystophora and Sargassum. Consequently, this resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of six new terpenoids from two southern Australian marine brown algae Cystophora moniliformis and Sargassum fallax together with 10 previously reported natural products. As a result of the re-isolation of these known secondary metabolites, updated and complete structural characterisation data could be provided for the first time for 7 of these compounds.

This research examines how parametric loudspeakers may be considered unique acousmatic musical instruments; how the parametric acoustic array (PAA) can potentially make new forms of music and listening experiences; and how PAA-design problems can be overcome. Interdisciplinary in nature, the study uses grounded theory and experimental music practice within a design research methodology. Theory emerges from data, in concert with analysis and framing that draws on areas such as electroacoustic music, spatial composition, acoustics, PAA science/theory, modulation theory, and medium theory.
