(University of Waikato, 2010)This Thesis investigates the possibility of replacing, in small craft and recreative boats, some of the more traditionally made joints (using tabbing) with ones made using structural adhesives (adhesive used where the load ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2010)The design and manufacture of a RC model boat is a component of the compulsory paper ENGG180 for first year engineering students at the University of Waikato. ENGG180 is a foundation of engineering paper which includes ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2010)Aluminium and stainless steels are susceptible to pitting corrosion in sea water. Mild steel is susceptible to corrosion in general. Titanium however, has good corrosion resistance in chloride solutions and thus is not ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Measuring hormonal changes is vital for understanding how the social and physical environment influences behaviour, reproduction and survival. Various methods of hormone measurement exist, potentially explaining variation ... -
(University of Waikato, 2011)The global poultry industry generates at least 2 million tonnes of chicken feather every year. Feathers are currently hydrolysed into meal used for animal feed and fertilizer. Feather consists of 91% keratin, 1% lipid and ... -
(University of Waikato, 2012)The flow cytometers are one of the most powerful devices used to measure the properties of individual particles passing through a sensing region. In this thesis, a low cost cytometer using a Blu-ray pickup is analysed and ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Exact solution to the vibration of rectangular plates is available only for plates with two opposite edges subject to simply supported conditions. Otherwise, they are analysed by using approximate methods. There are several ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Breathing Stabilization System is a new idea and method. The purpose of this system is to produce a device to control a patient’s breathing for gated radiotherapy. This thesis focuses on building a simple Breathing ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Characterization of the three different as- received TiAl powders, namely Tax1, Tax2 and Tax3 produced by Titanox development Ltd has been done. Predominate TiAl phase was observed in all the three compositions .The powder ... -
(University of Waikato, 2012)Recently, there has been a surge in investigating the potential of using natural fibers for reinforcements in composite materials. One such natural fiber having immense potential for use in polymer composites is chicken ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)The main purpose of this thesis is to automate laboratory instruments with command lines. The created commands allow users to control instruments and record measured values into a file, by using industrial standards, ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Ruminants possess a unique digestive system. Using the high metabolic potential of the symbiotic microflora of the rumen, ruminants are capable of digesting plant material and obtaining nutrients and energy from this ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2006)The project to design a CD transport (CD player) in conjunction with Perreaux Industries came about from the need for a source component in their Silhouette series of products. This project describes the design a high ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)The design and manufacture of lightweight electric vehicles is becoming increasingly important with the rising cost of petrol, and the effects emissions from petrol powered vehicles are having on our environment. The ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2008)A lightweight chassis for a battery electric vehicle being developed at the University of Waikato was required. The chassis was designed around a predetermined body shape and suspension setup. A chassis, built from 20mm ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2007)This thesis explored the development of a faster and more efficient means of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the products of the nitric acid oxidation of D-glucose and other simple sugars, for the Shafizadeh Rocky ... -
(University of Waikato, 2011)Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) provide short-term power back-up to sensitive electronic and electrical equipments, where an unexpected power loss could lead to undesirable outcomes. They usually bridge the connected ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2010)This project focuses on bio-derived composites made from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and hemp as well as the influence of PLA crystallinity on material properties. It is known that crystallinity can occur as spherulites within ... -
(University of Waikato, 2011)Supercapacitors are used in various industrial applications and the supercapacitors technology is gradually progressing into a mature state. Common applications of supercapacitors are in electric vehicles, hybrid electric ... -
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Electric fencing is commonly used on New Zealand's farms. Modern technology is used in farm management systems to solve old farming problems in a more efficient and simple way. Engineers have researched the use of the ...
