Curing kinetics of epoxies by thermal and alternative radiation in the application of fibre-reinforced composites by Ng, Feng Lin.

“…Therefore, the removal of the gel time constraints could lead to improved laminate quality; for example, there is more time for precise fibre placement and orientation, complete fibre wetting and the removal of entrapped air. The aim of this project is to study the feasibility of employing radiation curing in the fabrication of glass fibre reinforced composites using epoxy based matrices. …”

3D profilometry for turbine blade shape profiling by Koh, Hoe Jyh.

“…The fringe patterns captured by a CCD camera are then analyzed with phase shifting method to retrieve the wrapped phase map. This is followed by temporal phase unwrapping to obtain the unwrapped phase map, which is then paired with calibration parameters to obtain the final 3D result. …”

Study of zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb composite structure by Chia, Yingxue

“…By using zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structure, it may relieve problems of fitting into “out of plane” structures into the desired product shape, allowing the honeycomb sandwich panels to wrap around 2D curved surfaces without geometric trimming and comprising mechanical properties. …”

An elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization by Hartquist, Chase M, Lin, Shaoting, Zhang, James H, Wang, Shu, Rubinstein, Michael, Zhao, Xuanhe

“…However, the crystallinity induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers (e.g., natural rubber) is typically below 20%, and the stretchability plateaus due to trapped entanglements. We report a class of elastomers formed by end-linking and then deswelling star polymers with low defects and no trapped entanglements, which achieve strain-induced crystallinity of up to 50%. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”

High cycle fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel manufactured via directed energy deposition with varying laser energy by Boey, Kai Jun

“…Results have shown that volume fraction of porosity reduces monotonously with increasing laser energy, accompanied by a transition in porosity category from lack of fusion defects to gas-entrapped porosity. Rotating bending fatigue (RBF) tests were performed on all these blocks to explore high cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of samples containing different microstructures. …”

Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency by Sun, Changqing

“…Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f and 5d bands undergo quantum entrapment while the 6s level is subject to localization and polarization because of the undercoordination-induced local bond contraction and bond strength gain – named bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP). …”
