Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…To motivate the analysis we consider the paradigm problem of the debonding of a distribution of cylindrical inclusions in an elastic material undergoing antiplane shear, with bonded and debonded inclusions playing the role of unbuckled and buckled shells respectively. …”

Mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in mammalian cochlea by Chan, Wei Xuan

“…The theoretical analysis of the energy absorption and distribution in the thin film composite provides a guideline for selection of thermoplastic and elastomer as well as estimation of the power required for ultrasonic bonding of the film composite. The experiment shows sufficient bonding strength in the bonded samples and verified the feasibility of this methodology. …”

Social capital of NGO food support providers for the homeless in Kuala Lumpur by Oria, Prescious Ann Santos

“…It is therefore concluded that in the context of this study, NGO food support providers to homeless in Kuala Lumpur operate in between bonding and bridging types of social capital. This “Bonding-Bridging SC” suggests the feature of moralistic trust whereby trust is based on their faith that goodwill rests on other NGOs which is essential for civic engagement. …”

Ultrasonic, shearography and thermography testing of heat damaged composite materials by Ang, Ying Mei

“…Like all materials in an aircraft, composites can experience heat damage in-service resulting in delaminations and debonding. Eventually, the material will experience degradation in its strength properties and fatigue failure which can be catastrophic. …”

Processing of Dissimilar Metals in Selective Laser Melting by Sing, Swee Leong, Liu, Zhong Hong, Zhang, Dan Qing, Yeong, Wai Yee, Chua, Chee Kai

“…The novel approach, by the separation of a single dispensing coating system into two compartments, is described and the resulting samples were analyzed based on the bonding of their interface. A substantial amount of Fe and Cu element diffusion was observed in the fabricated samples, suggesting good metallurgical bonding and the feasibility of dissimilar metals processing in SLM.…”

Polar curved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soot formation by Menon, Angiras, Martin, Jacob W., Bowal, Kimberly, Slavchov, Radomir I., Akroyd, Jethro, Mosbach, Sebastian, Kraft, Markus

“…The earliest (smallest size) onset of curvature integration was found to be a six ring PAH with at least one pentagonal ring. The σ bonding in the presence of pentagons led to curvature, however, the π bonding strongly favored a planar geometry delaying the onset of curvature and therefore the induction of a flexoelectric dipole moment. …”

Raman spectroscopic study of the effects of dissolved NaCl and temperature on water structure by Wang, Yanan.

“…It is believed that the addition of NaCl introduces new ions, which breaks the water molecules tetrahedral hydrogen bonding and meanwhile helps to form the donor hydrogen bonding, thus the number of free OH bonds is slightly lowered. …”

Theoretical Modelling and Facile Synthesis of a Highly Active Boron-Doped Palladium Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction by Vo Doan, Tat Thang, Wang, Jingbo, Poon, Kee Chun, Tan, Desmond Chun Long, Khezri, Bahareh, Webster, Richard David, Su, Haibin, Sato, Hirotaka

“…Another computational result is that the surface core level of Pd is negatively shifted by B doping, as confirmed by XPS, and implies that filling the density of states related to the anti-bonding of oxygen to Pd surfaces with excess electrons from B doping, weakens the O bonding to Pd and boosts the catalytic activity.…”
