Single fibre electrode measurements - a versatile strategy for assessing the non-uniform kinetics at carbon felt electrodes
(2020)Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a promising technology for the storage of intermittent renewable energy. Graphite and carbon felts electrodes are commonly used in RFBs as they typically exhibit good conductivity, high ... -
Progress in seismic research of wood structures in New Zealand
(2019)New Zealand's seismic experience shows that wood structure as a reliable structural system can fully meet the seis mic design requirements of large earthquakes. However, structural and non-structural damage caused by ... -
Full waveform seismic tomography for geophysical velocity model in the South Island region, New Zealand based on adjoint-wavefield method
(2020)In this poster we apply Full Waveform Tomography (FWT) based on the Adjoint-Wavefield (AW) method to iteratively invert a 3-D geophysical velocity model for the South Island region, New Zealand (Eberhart-Phillips, 2010). ... -
Ground motion simulation validation with explicit uncertainty incorporation for small magnitude earthquakes in New Zealand
(2020)This study explicitly includes source, path and site uncertainties into physics-based ground motion simulations, in order to account for: inherent modelling restrictions, ground motion randomness and modelling errors. ... -
Do Gaming Experience and Prior Knowledge Matter When Learning with a Gamified ITS?
(IEEE, 2021)Gamification has gained much popularity, due to its positive effects on learner engagement and motivation in online learning environments. However, there is still insufficient understanding of factors, including personal ... -
Sensitivity of 1-D ground motion predictions to analysis codes and material models using KiK-net vertical arrays
(Elsevier BV, 2020)One-dimensional (1-D) ground response analysis (GRA) predictions are highly sensitive to the analysis methods and dynamic soil models employed, contributing to significant scatter in analysis outputs. In this paper, a ... -
Several insights from a decade of earthquake reconnaissance and response in New Zealand
(2019)• In light of the recent 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence … • Provide some insights from experience dealing with impactful earthquakes in New Zealand from the past decade that are hopefully relevant for the n ... -
Effects of spatial soil variability in 2D ground response models of Wellington
(2020)Current analytical techniques for seismic ground response analysis are largely based on 1D wave propagation assumptions, while the growing body of evidence indicates that 1D analysis is only appropriate at a minority of ... -
Incorporating the influence of duration on dynamic deformation capacity in structural design and assessment
(2021)The dynamic deformation capacity of a structure is the peak storey drift ratio it can safely withstand without collapsing due to dynamic instability. In a previous study, the authors developed a robust procedure to compute ... -
Modelling distribution network through tensor representation in the presence of power electronic devices.
(University of Canterbury, 2021)The development in electronics technology in the last decade has greatly increased the use of power electronic-based non-linear loads. This power electronic equipment consists of power electronic loads, Renewable Energy ... -
Simulation of flow and heat transfer in 3D printable triply periodic minimal surface heat exchangers
(University of Canterbury, 2020)3D printing allows the manufacture of novel processing equipment including heat exchangers. A wide variety of different heat exchanger designs exist, and the usage of each depends on the application for which they are ... -
Aerogels synthesised from Canola seed meal protein: processing-structure-property relationships
(University of Canterbury, 2021)Novel bioaerogels produced via the gelation of protein extracts from canola seed meal (CSM) are described for the first time, adding to the scant collection of aerogels that are derived from plant-based biotechnology. ... -
Investigating the impact of design criteria on the expected seismic losses of an office building
(2021)Low Damage Seismic Design (LDSD) guidance material being developed by Engineering NZ is considering a design drift limit for multi-storey buildings of 0.5% at a new damage control limit state (DCLS). The impact of this ... -
Novel gear to improve selectivity in the trawling industry
(University of Canterbury, 2021)Trawling is a fish harvesting process that catches many non-target species which derive little income for fishers. Legislation is being adopted by countries including Iceland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, the USA, the United ... -
Understanding disaster risk exposure to visitors to the South Island of New Zealand
(2019)1. Identify the risks posed by disasters to transient population groups in the New Zealand disaster risk management context. 2. Develop novel methods to assess disaster risk for transient populations in space and time, ... -
Automated workflow for validation of ground motion simulations using conventional and complex intensity measures
(2019)This is an open-source software project that provides engineering seismologists and structural/geotechnical earthquake engineers with an easy-to-use IM calculation and plotting capability, seen as a critical toolchain ... -
Using Bayesian growth models to predict grape yield
(University of Canterbury, 2021)Seasonal differences in in vine yield need to be managed to ensure appropriate fruit composition at harvest. Differences in yield are the result of changes in vine management (e.g. the number of notes retained after harvest) ... -
Optical and electrochemical properties of the periodically patterned photoanode.
(University of Canterbury, 2021)The integration of a photoelectrode into a redox flow battery (RFB) enables direct solar charging of the battery. The efficiency of a solar RFB depends on the number of photons that excite the electrons and lead to electron ... -
Hybrid Broadband Ground Motion Simulation Validation of New Zealand Earthquakes with an Updated 3D Velocity Model and Modified Simulation Methodology
(2019)This poster presents a ground motion simulation validation study in New Zealand considering small magnitude earthquakes (3.5≤Mw≤5.0). 498 earthquakes were modelled as point sources with 5350 ground motion recordings ...
