Finite element analysis of ROM silo subjected to 5000 tons monotonic loads at an anonymous mine in Zimbabwe
(International Institute of Engineers, 2014-07)This paper introduces finite element analysis of Run off Mine (ROM) silo subjected to dynamic loading. The proposed procedure is based on the use of theoretical equations to come up with pressure and forces1 exerted by ... -
Water insecurity in Zimbabwe’s towns and cities: Challenge for institutions
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2014-11)There is widespread concern over water insecurity in most towns and cities in Zimbabwe. Some households have gone for years without receiving water yet most reservoirs supplying such towns or cities have been recording ... -
The spatio-temporal variation of the 2014 Tokwe-Mukosi floods: a GIS and remote sensing based approach
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2014-11)Floods are natural hazards that have always created an unexpected threat to human life and property. When severe floods occur in areas occupied by humans, they can create natural disasters that involve the loss of human ... -
Modelling and simulation of a dump truck tipping mechanism using EdenLISP
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2013-12)The application and use of EdenLISP in mechanism design and analysis is demonstrated on the tipping mechanism of a dump truck. The foundation for mechanical engineering design is centred on mechanisms, their design operation ... -

Effects of Plasma cutting on surface integrity of mild steel
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2013-12)Persistent fatigue failure observed in vibrating screen side plates motivated this investigation to determine the effects of plasma cutting on the surface integrity and hence fatigue performance of mild steel plates. ... -
Machinery maintenance yesterday, today and tomorrow in the manufacturing sector
(International Association of Engineers (IAENG), 2015-07)Maintenance is what is done in machinery to prevent failure or breakdown. In ancient times no proper planning was carried out to do maintenance with the idea behind being simple machines and easy to control. As time ... -
Analysis of a gear train using finite element modelling
(Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Society (IEOM Society), 2015-09)Here the theoretical maximum contact stress is calculated by Hertz equation. Also the finite element analysis of spur gear is done to determine the maximum contact stress by ANSYS 14.5. It was found that the results from ... -
Dimensioning of hybrid solar-battery-grid micro-energy power systems to alleviate domestic power outages in urban Zimbabwe: A reliability-cost approach
(Namibia Energy Institute (NEI), 2015-10)Power outages are rampant in most of Southern African countries due to inadequate electricity generation capacity by the utilities in these countries. This situation results in direct and indirect costs to both the consumers ... -
