This investigation explores the conditions under which an object, moving through a liquid in high speed, has the greatest deceleration. The conditions focused on are the mass of the object, its initial velocity and its entry angle into the liquid. This is achieved through shooting pellets of varied masses and energies out of two different soft guns at a water container, recording them with a high speed camera and mapping their motion with a tracking program. The results of the experiment indicate that the lesser the mass of the object, the greater its deceleration in the fluid. The initial velocity and the entry angle of the object do not influence the rate of its speed loss. It is further explored that as the density of the fluid becomes greater, so does the deceleration of the object. The investigation is intended to deepen the understanding of the high speed motion through a medium.

This simulation plan aims to explain and document all steps to be taken in the simulation analysis of the Fokker-100 case. This case is the scenario in which the aircraft touches the ground during landing, introducing loads on the landing gear. The landing gear consists of 2 rear gears around mid-span and one in the front. Furthermore, the pilot uses the rudder which induces a lateral force on the tail. As stated in the assignment, it is required to find the maximum normal stress and location of this in the fuselage, the maximum shear stress and its location in the fuselage, and the maximum shear flow in the frames that introduce the loads from the landing gears into the fuselage.

Contains the thesis template using memoir class, which is mainly based on book class but permits better control of chapter styles for example. This template is an adaptation and modification of Oscar's. Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. UoB guidelines: The dissertation must be printed on A4 white paper. Paper up to A3 may be used for maps, plans, diagrams and illustrative material. Pages (apart from the preliminary pages) should normally be double-sided. Memoir class loads useful packages by default (see manual).
