Study of impact properties of materials by instrumented impact testing by Zheng, Qi.

“…However, the previous investigations were limited in scope because the impact testing was non-instrumented and the specimens used contained weak interfaces made artificially either by soldering thin mild steel plates together or by laminating high-strength titanium alloys and maraging steels. …”

Leakage modelling of revolving vane expander by Hans, Hendrik.

“…Now, we are trying to include the use of expander so that, instead of the refrigerant gas being expanded isenthalpically (without extracting any work), it will be expanded more towards isentropically. …”

Three essays on gender wage differentials by Fang, Zheng

“…Within the growing literature on gender wage differentials over the wage distribution, two terms - glass ceilings and sticky floors - are used. Glass ceilings refer to a phenomenon where the counterfactual gender wage gap is wider at the top than at the bottom, while sticky floors refer to a wider gap observed at the bottom relative to the top. …”

Boundary element methods for axisymmetric heat conduction and thermoelastic deformations in nonhomogeneous solids by Yun, Bao Ing

“…New axisymmetric interpolating functions, which are bounded in the axisymmetric coordinate plane but are expressed in terms of relatively simple elementary functions, are proposed for use in the dual-reciprocity method. In the last part of the thesis, an alternative boundary element approach, based on the theory of complex variables, is proposed for solving an axisymmetric problem involving steady heat conduction in a nonhomogeneous solid. …”
