Modelling soil compaction effects on maize growth and yield in a sandy loam soil (2019)
Journal Article

A mathematical model was developed for the prediction of soil compaction effects on the growth and yield of maize crop in a sandy loam soil in tropical climates. Field investigations were carried out at the teaching and research farm of Rivers State... Read More about Modelling soil compaction effects on maize growth and yield in a sandy loam soil.

Investigating the transition from normal driving to safety critical scenarios (2019)
Thesis

Investigation of the correlation between factors associated with crash development has enabled the implementation of methods aiming to avert and control crash causation at various points within the crash sequence (Evans, 2006). Partitioning the crash... Read More about Investigating the transition from normal driving to safety critical scenarios.

Thermo-elastic creep analysis and life assessment of thick truncated conical shells with variable thickness (2019)
Journal Article

A semi-analytical method is presented to investigate time-dependent thermo-elastic creep behavior and life assessment of thick truncated conical shells with variable thickness subjected to internal pressure and thermal load. Based on the first-order... Read More about Thermo-elastic creep analysis and life assessment of thick truncated conical shells with variable thickness.
