Information cascades and the collapse of cooperation by Yang, Guoli, Csikász-Nagy, Attila, Waites, William, Xiao, Gaoxi, Cavaliere, Matteo

“…For newcomers it is beneficial to interact with cooperators but detrimental to interact with cheaters. However, cheaters and cooperators usually cannot be identified unambiguously and newcomers’ decisions are often based on a combination of private and public information. …”

The Impact of Vegetation Morphology on Turbulence and Bedload Transport by Zhao, Tian

“…With increasing submergence, H/h (defined as the ratio of flow depth H to canopy height h), the near-bed velocity and TKE decreased, and the source of near-bed turbulence shifted from stem wake to the shear layer at the canopy top. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…Sticky patches are regions with higher basal shear stress than their surroundings. By including basal shear stresses in the classical, vertical mode-I fracture model, I model basal hydrofracturing on the ice--bedrock interface near a sticky patch. …”

Prismatic, basal, and slip strengths of commercially pure Zr by micro-cantilever tests by Wilkinson, A

“…This study aimed to measure the critical resolved shear strength (CRSS) of individual slip systems in a polycrystalline, commercially pure zirconium sample. …”

Analysis and design of curved steel beam member in elevation using Eurocode 3 by Yandarmadi, Kelvin

“…It is proven that the maximum arch rise ratio value for shallow curved is 0.0900108 with shear force as the governing factor. In the second part of the study, the design of a curved beam in elevation based on Eurocode 3 is presented on a design case for five different cross-sections.The cross-section section modulus becomes the governing factor across the beam span except for the end span near the support. …”

Bacterial type VI secretion system helps prevent cheating in microbial communities by Filloux, Alain

“…Although microbial “societies” do not have such rules codified, they nonetheless implement molecular strategies to restrict foes and cheaters within their respective populations and communities.…”

Large eddy simulations of turbulent circular wall jets by Zhang, Shuai, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Zhao, Bing

“…Overall, the study shows that LES coupling with proper near-wall modelling can simulate both the kinematic and mixing characteristics of the turbulent wall jet in a satisfactory manner, and the accuracy is superior to the RANS models with enhanced wall functions for this three-dimensional wall-bounded shear flow. …”

Mach 3.5 Compression Corner Control Using Microvortex Generators by Gochenaur, Daniel C., Williams, Rhys D., Sabnis, Kshitij, Babinsky, Holger

“…Inverted vanes tend to generate large areas of near-wall low-momentum flow that locally increase separation length, making standard vane configurations more effective at reducing separation size. …”

Spatiotemporal signatures of elastoinertial turbulence in viscoelastic planar jets by Yamani, Sami, Raj, Yashasvi, Zaki, Tamer A., McKinley, Gareth H., Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…In agreement with linear stability analyses of viscoelastic jets, an inertioelastic shear-layer instability emerges near the edge of the jet for small levels of elasticity, independent of bulk undulations in the fluid column. …”

The role of hydrodynamic conditions and pH on algal-rich water fouling of ultrafiltration by Zhang, Yan., Tang, Chuyang Y., Li, Guibai.

“…This paper also studied an important consideration of aeration in algal fouling: shear force. Besides alleviating membrane fouling, the shear produced by the bubbling should take responsible for the breakup of cells and the release of intracellular organic matters which caused the rate of the TMP increase closed to that without aeration. …”

Experimental studies on the behaviour of non_seismically detailed reinforced concrete column by Lim, Marvin Wei Sheng.

“…Post earthquake and experimental research have shown that old reinforced concrete structures which are designed based on non-seismic details are vulnerable to shear failure during earthquakes. Shear failure can lead to a reduction in building lateral strength, change in inelastic deformation mechanism and loss of axial load-carrying capacity. …”
