Analysis of bedload transport in laminar flows by Cheng, Nian-Sheng

“…Bedload transport generally depends on the bed shear stress and Reynolds number. Many studies conducted for the condition of turbulent flows have revealed the dependence of the transport rate on the bed shear stress, while knowledge of the Reynolds number effect on the transport rate is very limited. …”

Failure mode classification for reinforced concrete members using data-driven approaches by Ong, Billy

“…This study aims to classify images of reinforced concrete (RC) structures by examining characteristic crack patterns associated with specific failure modes in RC columns, beams, and walls. Post-classification, shear strength equations are employed to determine the shear force to predicted shear strength ratio (m), utilizing various parameters obtained from the collected database. …”

A carbuncle cure for the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme using a novel velocity-based sensor by Vevek, U. S., Zang, B., New, Tze How

“…A hybrid numerical flux scheme is proposed by adapting the carbuncle-free modified Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLCM) scheme to smoothly revert to the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme in regions of shear. This hybrid scheme, referred to as the HLLCT scheme, employs a novel, velocity-based shear sensor. …”
