Design optimisation and experimental evaluation of a grain vibration screen
(2016)Mechanical screening is an important process which is used in a wide range of industries. This study focused on screens in the agricultural industry used for cleaning and classifying of grain. Mathematical models were ... -
Design, analysis and experimental evaluation of a vibration energy generator
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)Generating energy from ambient vibration is a method of harvesting green energy. Harvesting energy in this manner is similar to that of solar and wind energy harvesting. The vibration energy generator discussed in this ... -
Development of the JS-2 landing gear system
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The aim of this study was to review literature for the most suitable landing gear components used in modern gliders in order to develop a landing gear system that will adhere to the geometrical constraints of the JS-2 ... -
Evaluation of finite element analysis on topology optimized direct metal laser sintered TI6Al4V structures
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The problem under investigation in this dissertation is the validity of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) when applied to topology optimized Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) structures manufactured from Ti6AL4V with the ... -
Integration of cast simulated mechanical properties into FEA for improved tensile strength evaluation of ductile iron gate valve bodies
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Valve production is one of the most cost competitive industries worldwide, and South African valve manufacturers face strong competition, predominantly from China. Simulation software can be used to engineering lighter, ... -
Wind excitation structure design and evaluation for a vibration pump
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2017)A wind excitation structure was designed, built, tested and experimentally evaluated. This excitation structure was used to drive a vibration pump. The vibration pump excluded any rotating parts. The design entailed that ...
