(2007)The idea of combining photovoltaic and solar thermal collectors (PVT collectors) to provide electrical and heat energy is not new, however it is an area that has received only limited attention. With concern growing over ... -
(AUT University, 2011)With increasing pressure being placed on traditional energy sources, both in terms of supply and also regulatory, there is an increasing need to explore alternative generation technologies. In global terms, solar energy ... -
(School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Massey University., 2011)The electrical output of concentrating photovoltaic devices is significantly affected by the temperature of the photovoltaic cells. The ability to actively cool photovoltaic cells under concentrated radiation allows their ... -
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2012)A low friction tractor seat with nonlinear stiffness and dead-band damping was investigated both by simulation and experimentation. The objective was to determine if a practical, soft suspension system could be developed ...

(The University of Waikato, 2007)A building integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPVT) system based on long-run metal roofing is being developed at the University of Waikato in partnership with Dimond Ltd., a long-run roof product manufacturer. The concept ... -
(University of Waikato, 2012)The buckling and post-buckling behaviours of corrugated paperboard packaging structures are the focus of this study. The motivations for this study are to improve understanding of post-buckling behaviour to better predict ... -
(University of Waikato, 2011)The need for a technical standard for the conversion of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to electric drive has been identified by government regulators in New Zealand (NZ). The aim of this project was to review ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2009)In this study a novel building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) solar collector was developed, tested, modelled and optimised both experimentally and theoretically. Experimental testing found that glazing the prototype ... -
(University of Waikato, 2010)This thesis is devoted to investigate the capability of the Superposition Method for obtaining the transient response of plates and the natural frequencies of thin doubly curved shallow shells. The Superposition Method ...
