Surface wave interaction with a vertical viscoelastic barrier by Bi, Cheng, Wu, Mao See, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung

“…As the regime changes from plate-like to membrane-like, the wave transmission diminishes and the sheet boundary displacement together with the flexural strain and shear force reduce, while the corresponding resonating wavenumber increases instead. …”

Predicting response of reinforced concrete slabs under low-velocity impact by Xiao, Yao, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…In this model, the slab stiffness is calculated based on its dynamic load–displacement curve, which is built using moment–curvature analysis and critical shear crack theory. The contact between the impactor and the impacted RC slab is modelled with an elastic spring and a viscous damper. …”

Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As compared with the control wafer pair with a prebonding anneal at 300°C for 1 h in N2, the wafer pair without a prebonding anneal showed greater improvement in void density based on c-mode scanning acoustic microscopy (c-SAM). Dicing yield and shear strength were also enhanced when a prebonding anneal was not applied. …”

Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. Treatment of sago starch with a mixture of STPP and STMP yielded the best starch phosphate at the reaction pH of 9.5 which showed lower hot paste viscosity and much higher cold paste viscosity than that of sago starch phosphates prepared at pH 9 using STPP. …”

Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11p safety message broadcast with and without relaying at road intersection by Md. Noor-A-Rahim, G. G. Md. Nawaz Ali, Nguyen, Hieu, Guan, Yong Liang

“…From the results, we find that the overall delivery ratio is very poor when the broadcasting vehicle is not close enough to the intersection-center. To improve the overall broadcast performance of such scenarios, we employ a road side unit (RSU) at the intersection-center to relay the safety messages once. …”
