Transportation Engineering-Green port strategies in China (2019)
Thesis
Du, K. Transportation Engineering-Green port strategies in China. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2383378

In responding to the increasing challenges from both global climate change and local air pollution, environmental strategies are increasingly applied by ports in many developed countries, either independently by ports or as part of a national transpo...

Modelling and analysing cyclist road safety performance in Scotland: a safety in numbers perspective (2019)
Thesis
Meade, M. S. Modelling and analysing cyclist road safety performance in Scotland: a safety in numbers perspective. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2682661

Reported cyclist casualties are disproportionally high relative to their modal share. This is a well-documented problem and yet we currently do not have local or national models that can estimate exposure (i.e. intensity of travel by bike). There is...

Architecture of emergencies in the Middle East: Proposed shelter design criteria (2019)
Thesis
Alshawawreh, L. Architecture of emergencies in the Middle East: Proposed shelter design criteria. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2005914

The number of displaced individuals has been significantly increasing globally during the past decade, reaching over 68 million by end of 2017. The Syrian conflict in the Middle East has attracted more attention to refugee issues, specifically in rel...

Surface Functionality in Nanocellulose Processing and Composite Formulations (2019)
Thesis
Onyianta, A. Surface Functionality in Nanocellulose Processing and Composite Formulations. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2025207

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are cellulose nanomaterials with desirable properties and offer great potentials to be applied in diverse fields. While various pre-treatments have been studied with the aim of reducing the intensity of mechanical fibrilla...

Racking performance of platform timber frame walls (2019)
Thesis
Dhonju, R. L. Racking performance of platform timber frame walls. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2058930

Platform timber frame construction is considered an efficient building method for multistorey dwellings where timber walls and diaphragms provide the overall stability for the structure to resist lateral forces such as those generated by wind action....

Energy delivery of solar farms with reference to shading (2019)
Thesis
Jeffrey, M. Energy delivery of solar farms with reference to shading. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2086186

This study has been undertaken to research the impact of shading on a large scale solar PV site at 56° latitude north, this is the first site in the UK at this latitude, consisting of 2500 solar panels across a 5 acres. As solar altitude decreases ob... Read More about Energy delivery of solar farms with reference to shading.

Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures (2019)
Thesis
Li, M. Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2086333

Topology optimization technique has been used as an efficient tool that optimizes material layout within a given space to obtain the desired functional performance. So far, topology optimization has been mainly focused on linear problems and less att... Read More about Topology optimization of elastoplastic structures.
