Simulating the stress-strain properties of woollen yarns
(Lincoln University, 1997)
This thesis describes a new model of the behaviour of staple fibre yarns under longitudinal extension. Within this new model, several of the most important yarn structural features are described by arbitrary distribution ...
Assessment of growing seasons characteristics in the Dry zone of Sri Lanka based on stochastic simulation of rainfall and soil water status
(Lincoln University, 1998)
Rainfall and crop water demand are two major agro-climatic variables that determine the crop production in the Dry zone of Sri Lanka. The lack of long series of historical data of these variables often hinders the proper ...
Development of a simulation model for drying deformation in radiata pine boards
(Lincoln University, 1998)
Drying deformation of radiata pine (Pinus Radiata D. Don) boards results in a great loss of revenue to the wood industry. A computer simulation model, which is capable of predicting the drying quality of radiata pine boards, ...
