Findings from the study indicated that there was a preference for the use of mixed method designs that concurrently implement qualitative and quantitative elements to examine the validity of program outcomes.
Key elements to examine include measures of genetic distance to other wild populations (near and distant), heterozygosity, allelic richness and similarity to hatchery populations.
Based on the behavior of a three-void cluster embedded within a representative volume element, this study utilizes three-dimensional finite element analyses to examine the sensitivity of void growth and coalescence to strain hardening, multiaxial stress state and inter-void spacing.
We apply a finite element analysis to examine the stability of spherical, thick-walled domes undergoing large deformation.
Finally, the proposed model was applied to the finite element method to examine the heat flux of the composites according to the constitutive properties, and their results were compared to the experimental results.
The aims of this study are to undertake nonlinear finite element analysis to examine the ultimate-strength characteristics of steel brackets, and to develop a simple design formula to predict the ultimate strength of a steel bracket.
Here, as part of a preliminary investigation into this problem, we use the combined finite discrete element method to examine how the mean of local stress tensors is related to the far field stress.
The experimental modes were then compared to the analytical modes estimated using finite element analysis to examine the correlation, and highly correlated modes were adopted in identifying structural parameters using a system identification method.
In this study, we used finite element analysis to examine effective en-masse retraction with orthodontic mini-implant anchorage and sought to identify a better combination of the above factors.
Presented are results from geometric non-linear finite element analyses to examine the Lateral Torsional Buckling (LTB) resistance of a Pultruded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) I-beam when initial geometric imperfections associated with the LTB mode shape are introduced.
