Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…To improve on this, Burland et al. (1977) first proposed the concept of adding piles to rafts about 30 years ago. Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. …”

Femtosecond laser interaction with fused silica in surface structuring by Tan, Tong Tat

“…Femtosecond laser has been considered as an advanced technique for microfabrication and micromachining of various multi-functional structures in dielectric materials through multi-photon absorption because of its high-quality and damage-free processing. However, femtosecond beam-glass interaction can be very complex when coupled with the non-linear effect of air and this is not well understood. …”

Single antenna power measurements based direction finding : an FRI solution by Zhang, Song Bai

“…Determining the angle of arrival (AoA) for wireless source signals has great poten- tial practical applications, one example is beam forming in cellular communication. The conventional methodology used to determine the AoA mainly uses the an- tenna array as an acquisition system, and there are many signal process algorithms developed to retrieve the direction of arrival information. …”

Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”
