Introduction The unconsolidated undrained (UU) Triaxial Test is a quick method of estimating the shear strength of a soil. The soil which undergoes the test is sheared to failure without prior consolidation meaning this test is perfect for soil samples which are undisturbed however this is never the case. This means that results have to be interpreted with care so the undrained shear strength of the soil is not underestimated. For the purpose of this test I used the results posted by Dr.Brian Mc

Executive summary In this day and age we have so many forms of transport to take us far or near‚ but the safest and fun way to travel is by flying. Even though it is the safest way of transport accidents still happen due to many reasons. The factor this report will be dwelling on is the way weather phenomena affect these accidents. The purpose of this report is to highlight the possible dangers of certain weather phenomena and research ideas to help prevent these accidents from occurring again.

This will involve a detailed report and further questions. The simplest strategy is to do the lab.] Notes For the First Year Lecture Course: An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics School of Civil Engineering‚ University of Leeds.

affect an aircraft‚ in this report I will specifically talk about the microburst. Microbursts are powerful downdrafts associated with thunderstorms. We have been able to identify microbursts through many studies regarding wind shear and meteorology research. Wind shear is basically a rapid change in wind velocity and direction that happen because of many factors in weather conditions. Such conditions include frontal activity‚ temperature inversions‚ and thunderstorms amongst other factors.

The results of the present paper show the flow velocity and the surface shear stress on the stretching sheet and also reduced Nusselt number and reduced Sherwood number are strongly influenced by the slip parameter. The objective of the present study is to analyze the development of the slip effects on the boundary layer

Requirement definition 1.0. Introduction For this project‚ the aim was to research different geared trolley cranes and come up with a brief outline/ design which would meet some specific design limitations. The trolley crane that we had to come up with was meant to be designed to lift and carry a load of 1.5 tonnes along I-beam of 4 metres long. The research that we did was mainly on existing trolley cranes and the configurations of these cranes which allowed us to familiarize ourselves
