An introduction to system dynamics
(Cham: Springer, 2016-06-15)
This chapter presents the important concepts underlying the system dynamics modeling method. Following an initial definition of the term model, a summary of a successful system dynamics intervention is described. The key ...
Perceived non-value added activities in the research grant application process through a lean Six Sigma lens: Lean Six Sigma in higher education.
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020-11-30)
Universities as part of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) operate in a climate of reduced state funding and increased oversight and competitive performance pressures. Universities are mandated to award degrees and other ...
Finite element modelling of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a 9Cr martensitic steel
(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2013-01-01)
A multi-axial, unified sinh viscoplastic material model has been developed to model the behaviour of advanced materials subjected to high temperature cyclic loading. The material model accounts for rate-dependent effects ...
Fretting fatigue and wear of spline couplings: From laboratory testing to industrial application through computational modelling
(World Scientific Publishing Europe Limited, 2022-04)
One of the major challenges for fretting fatigue design is the bridging of the gap
between laboratory tests, including associated theoretical and computer models, typically constrained to simplified loading conditions, ...
