    • Condition monitoring of a gearbox through the Internet 

      Grabler, G.S. (North-West University (South Africa)., 2015)
      Condition monitoring of rotating machines used at factories and mines could significantly reduce production losses to allow continuous production. Unexpected machine failures could be eliminated, and specific problems ...
    • Design optimisation and experimental evaluation of a grain vibration screen 

      Bloem, Johann (2016)
      Mechanical screening is an important process which is used in a wide range of industries. This study focused on screens in the agricultural industry used for cleaning and classifying of grain. Mathematical models were ...
    • Karakterisering en evaluering van 'n hidrouliese enjinmonteerstuk 

      Steyn, Abraham Jacobus (North-West University, 2011)
      The engine mount system is an important aspect to achieve vibration isolation, and has a very important effect on the ride standards and noise in a vehicle's compartment. In this study a hydraulic engine mount was designed ...
    • Simulation of the deformation of a stope support design 

      Laubscher, Abraham Johannes (2014)
      Supported stope mining is one of the most common types of mining in the modern day gold mining industry. The excavated regions, where ore is extracted, are supported with a combination of roof-bolting, timber packs, ...
    • Vehicle vibration analysis 

      Van Wyngaardt, J. (North-West University (South Africa)., 2014)
      Engine noise and vibration harshness is a big concern in the competitive automotive vehicle manufacturing industry. It is very important to limit the vibration and noise levels for the general pleasure of driving. Vibration ...
    • Vibration isolation of dimple plate heat exchangers 

      Vergeer, Pieter (North-West University, 2012)
      Dimple plate heat exchangers are a new type of welded compact plate heat exchangers. The dimple plates increase the turbulence of the fluid flowing over the plate, increasing the efficiency of the heat exchanger without ...
    • Wind excitation structure design and evaluation for a vibration pump 

      Pretorius, L.P. (North-West University (South Africa)., 2017)
      A wind excitation structure was designed, built, tested and experimentally evaluated. This excitation structure was used to drive a vibration pump. The vibration pump excluded any rotating parts. The design entailed that ...
