Shell finite elements, with applications in biomechanics by Bartle, Samantha

“…Implementation has been carried out in deal.II, an open source library of finite element code. Substantial detail is given about how the shell formulation was implemented; this includes preprocessing, programming of the solution algorithm, and post-processing of results. …”

Stability behaviour and dynamic response of cooling towers subjected to wind loading by Kucherera, Grant Tarwirei

“…In this study, a linear eigenvalue buckling parametric analysis is presented for various cooling tower shell geometries. The shells are subjected to increasing wind pressures (speeds) to observe the trends in the critical buckling pressures/speeds at which the shell first buckles and the corresponding buckling modes. …”

Boltzmann equation studies of the off-equilibrium QCD phenomena by Viljoen, Brandon

“…To that end, a useful tool from the stage where we can assume the partons to be on-shell is the relativistic Boltzmann equation. We develop parallel code to solve the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation in 3 + 1 dimensions (without simplifying assumptions on possible symmetries of the dynamics). …”

Computational model of intraluminal thrombus growth in abdominal aortic aneurysms with fibrin generation by Taylor, Mark Robin

“…Another key feature is the thrombosis growth model, which incorporates conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, variation between clot core and shell, and mechanical lysis. The model generates ILTs with morphologies visually similar to those typically found in the body, however more work is required to refine and validate the mode.…”
