Analysis of lightning generated over-voltages on voltage regulating devices in distribution system with centralized wind turbine generators
(IEEE, 2018)© 2018 IEEE. The effect of global warming is expected to increase the number of lightning strikes with the capacity to alter the operations of power lines and voltage regulating devices. This problem is exacerbated by the ... -
Edge Deletion Tests in Graphical Models for Multivariate Time Series
(2019)Multivariate autoregressive moving average models can be represented as graphical models with nodes representing either the autoregressive or the moving average components and the edges representing a significant partial ... -
Effect of Non-mandatory Use of an Intelligent Tutoring System on Students’ Learning
(Springer, 2020)Numerous controlled studies prove the effectiveness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). But what happens when ITSs are available to students for voluntary practice? EER-Tutor is a mature ITS which was previously found ... -
Update on the 2nd Bioactive Materials Editorial Board Meeting
(Elsevier BV, 2017)Following on from the 1st Editorial Board Meeting of Bioactive Materials (held April 2017, Minneapolis USA), the 2nd Editorial Board Meeting was held on the 28th August 2017 during the 9th Symposium on Biodegradable ... -
Shaking Table Test of a Near Full Scale Low Damage Structural Steel Building: Structural Aspects
(NZSEE, 2019)Recent severe earthquakes worldwide have put emphasis on building resilience. To achieve this procedures for low damage seismic design have been developed to satisfy the life safety requirement and to minimize the ... -
Low-cycle fatigue damage of buckling prone reinforcing bars
(NZSEE, 2019)This study summarises the results of an experimental and analytical study carried out to investigate the influence of buckling on low-cycle fatigue life of reinforcing bars. The parameters considered to experimentally ... -
Quasi-Static Uniaxial Cyclic Loading Protocol for RC Columns Simulating Wall Boundary Zones
(NZSEE, 2019)Seismic performance of a flexurally-dominated reinforced concrete wall is dependent on the response of its end boundary zones. In order to evaluate the performance of structural walls, a common practice adopted in laboratories ... -
Environment-friendly demountable precast concrete frame building system for minimization of seismic downtime
(Indian Society of Earthquake Technology, 2018)Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings and precast concrete buildings with traditional connections between precast members turn into a monolithic form. As a result, such buildings can be terminated only by demolition, ... -
Polymer Rapid Tooling for Injection Moulding
(2018)Background- Polymer Rapid Tooling (PRT) inserts for Injection Moulding (IM) are a cost-effective method for prototyping and low volume manufacturing. However, PRT inserts lack the robustness of steel inserts, leading to ... -
Rectangular RC walls under bi-directional loading: Recent experimental and numerical findings
(New Zealand Concrete Society, 2018)Following the recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2010/2011), peculiar failure modes were observed in Reinforced Concrete (RC) walls. These observations have raised a global concern on the contribution of ... -
Addressing Inter-patient Variability in DPIs: Optimizing Powder Entrainment using CFD-guided DPI Design
(2018)As portable devices dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are an attractive inhalation therapy option for patients who struggle with inhalation coordination of pressurized metered dose inhalers. DPIs also offer flexibility for ... -
Computational design optimization of a dry powder inhaler
(2018)Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are commonly used to treat lung diseases such as asthma, but can also be used to treat systemic diseases such as diabetes. Advantages of DPIs compared to oral or injection drug delivery include ... -
Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFC)
(2020)In the current design practice, the strength of Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs) is calculated considering the friction force developed at both sliding interfaces using the bolt tension reduced by the moment – shear ... -
Use of a Wellbeing Framework for Establishing Building Sustainability Performance Requirements in Building Regulations
(2020)Improving the sustainability of New Zealand's housing stock is a significant challenge. Economic, indoor climate and energy use data indicates the affordability, healthiness and environmental impacts of new and existing ... -
Finite element method for designing HF2V device force capacity
(2020)Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting loads transferred to structural elements and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial structural damage. High ... -
A Hybrid Adaptive Optics System for Space Situational Awareness
(2019)We are developing and will commission a space debris and object detection system in New Zealand that will provide high resolution capability to examine orbiting near Earth objects using a simplified, low-cost approach, ...
