22 May 2003: RESULTS. The proposed new method, together with the two existing methods mentioned earlier, are tested and compared against a full time domain situation. ... CONCLUSIONS. The proposed new method of modelling seabed interaction has shown to improve the

10 Nov 2003: This dissertation is an attempt to inject new ideas into the field of deployable structures. ... Previous work on this concept is reviewed, and a new analysis of the fold pattern is presented.

4 Nov 2003: by R D Kangwai. A symmetric structure is a structure that can be brought into a new position which is mechanically and geometrically identical to its original position. ... This thesis provides a new application of group theory to the force method of

10 Nov 2003: The new model is composed of two pairs of coupled non-linear differential equations; one for the structure and the other for the vortices. ... The new coupled--oscillator model allows the comparison of classes of bridge with various control mechanisms.

13 Nov 2003: Due to their importance, research in deployable structures is a new and active field. ... A new deployable mast is proposed and explained in detail in this dissertation.

10 Nov 2003: As a result, a new type of high-resolution, long-stroke actuator has been recently developed at Cambridge University. ... Also, the piezoelectric behaviour changes as the frequency is increased. A simulation based on experimental results is developed,

10 Nov 2003: correlation with the new experimental results as well as data from 90 push tests conducted elsewhere. ... Therefore, five new expressions based on concrete plasticity theory, have been developed for this form of failure.

10 Nov 2003: In this dissertation, a new approach to stress-based equilibrium models is developing for use with the force method of analysis. ... A new method of analysis, the Tangent Equation Approach, is developed for linear-elastic perfectly-plastic analyses.
