Optimisation of silicone-based dielectric elastomer transducers by means of block copolymers – synthesis and compounding by A Razak, Aliff Hisyam

“…The synthesised copolymers were subsequently cross-linked with a vinyl cross-linker. The obtained cross-linked PDMS-PPMS copolymers were inherently soft and robust with increased electrical breakdown strength (21%) compared to the reference elastomer without an aromatic voltage stabiliser. …”

Network performance of pruned hierarchical torus network by Rahman, M.M. Hafizur, Xiaohong, Jiang, Masud, Md. Shahin Al, Susumu, Horiguchi

“…We have explored the network diameter, average distance, bisection width, peak number of vertical links, and VLSI layout area of different HTN. It is shown that the pruned HTN possesses several attractive features including small diameter, small average distance, small number of wires, a particularly small number of vertical links, and economic layout area as compared to its non-pruned counterpart. …”

The use of horizontal and inclined bars as shear reinforcement by Abdul Hamid, Noor Azlina

“…The results show that the shear capacities of the beams with additional horizontal and independent bent-up bars larger than 1.2% of their cross-sectional area are higher than that of the conventionally designed beam with vertical links. It may therefore be suggested that these types of shear reinforcement be used to ease the congestion of links near the supports.…”
