Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Design of a pneumatic launcher and glider by Pang, Shiuh Woon.

“…The size of this glider is about 150mm for the wing span and 200mm for the fuselage. The whole system of this design was based on the pneumatic power and the aerodynamics of a fixed wing. …”

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

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”
