考虑抗弯刚度不确定性的简支梁桥损伤定位方法 = Damage localization method for simply supported bridge with flexural stiffness uncertainty considered by 王艺霖 Wang, Yi-lin, 张鑫 Zhang, Xin, 安新梅 An, Xin-mei

“…则说明损伤出现在区间[x',x'+m]或[l- x'- m,l- x' (之内)损伤定位的效果可 通过改变荷载加载值的大小来进行调节。In order to deal with flexural stiffness uncertainty of main girder and then localize the damage of main girder for simply supported bridges accurately, a damage localization index based on the idea of second order difference of displacement influence line－difference index of influence line for mid-span displacement (DIILMSD), was presented by employing influence line analysis. …”

Reverse emulsion polymerization : study of variables’ effects on nanogel synthesis and behaviour by Ho, Cheng En

“…Stable water-dispersible nanohydrogels of crosslinked acrylic acid-co-acrylamide (Poly AAc-co-AM) polymer were formed by inverse emulsion polymerization using N,N'methylenebisacrylamide (NNMBA) as cross-linking agent, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate (TWEEN80) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN80) as cosurfactants. Various factors (temperature, initiator type, solvent ratio and surfactant ratio) that affect the reaction were arranged in a matrix and experiments were carried out in order to test how the factors affect the formation of the nanogel. …”

Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Two other existing equations indicated as CLT methods 1 and 2 that can also be used to evaluate the effective bending rigidity are presented. Furthermore, in order to examine the buckling phenomena of moderately thick composite beam, three different collections of expressions designated as FSDT methods 1, 2 and 3 are presented to compute three separate sets of values for the effective flexural stiffness, effective shear modulus and shear correction factor in the first-order shear deformation beam theory. …”
