A fourier method of determining the speed fluctuation coefficient of a general slider-crank mechanism
(University of Botswana, 2001)
In this paper a method is presented which enables the solution of the equation of motion of the slider-crank mechanism. Expansion of functions into Fourier series is used in this method, whereby the solution of the equation ...
Designing architect's brief for a Faculty of Engineering
(Trans Tech Publications http://www.scientific.net/AMR.62-64.551, 2009)
A team of academics produced a Design Brief (DB) to assist architects design a scholarly
physical environment for modern engineering education and research. The information gathered from
external and internal sources was ...
Application of enamel-coating for draught reduction of a mouldboard plough
(Akademiai Kiado, 2007)
The effect of enamel-coating on the draught performance of an animal-drawn
mouldboard plough was studied. A single furrow swing mouldboard plough-Maun
Series, and the same type enamel-coated plough both ox-drawn, are ...
Constraints to promoting people centred approaches in recycling
(2008-07-02)
Public participation is considered the touchstone for the success of recycling schemes. In recognition of this, the trend in recycling policy and legislation is geared towards promoting people centred approaches in recycling ...
Lie group classification of the generalized Lane-Emden equation
(Elsevier http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.amc.2009.01.008, 2009)
We carry out the Lie group classification of the generalized Lane–Emden equation
xu00 þ nu0 þ xHðuÞ ¼ 0, which has many applications in mathematical physics and astrophysics.
We show that the equation admits a three-dimensional ...
Lagrangian approach to a generalized coupled lane-Emden system: symmetries and first integrals
(Elsevier http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleListURL&_method=list&_ArticleListID=1120288190&view=c&_acct=C000043160&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=778200&md5=2911144ac0b419d4936d24596384b313, 2009)
This paper aims to classify a generalized coupled Lane–Emden system and to compute the
Noether operators corresponding to a Lagrangian for a generalized coupled Lane–Emden
system which occurs in the modelling of several ...
Review of analysis methods for inelastic design of steel semi-continuous frames
(Elsevier http://www.linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0143974X05001057, 2006)
Three groups of methods for the inelastic analysis of steel plane frames with semi-rigid joints are considered in this paper. The first one
consists of simplified second-order (or P–Δ) plastic-hinge methods for the ...
Cyclic stress–strain behavior of conventional grain and ultrafine grain nickel under biaxial straining
(Elsevier http://www.linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S135964620800064X, 2008)
Results are presented on the effects of biaxial straining on the cyclic stress–strain response of ultrafine grain nickel (grain
size 260 nm) and conventional grain nickel (grain size 50 lm) over a range of effective ...
Information system based implementation of Semester-to-Semester progression at University of Botswana
(http://ijedict.dec.uwi.edu/viewarticle.php?id=555., 2008)
In August 2002, the University of Botswana changed from a yearlong to a semester based academic system. However, the progression regulations were not be fully implemented on the information system mainly due to problems ...
Accessing applications from multiple file servers in a computer network
(Science Publications http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=abstract&id=116222, 2005)
This study proposes a technique of accessing applications from multiple file servers in a computer network that caters for a large user community. The technique is a step towards creating a computer network system that is ...
