Impact and damage resistance studies on thermoplastic reinforced composites by Muhammad Shah Abdullah

“…However, at higher energy level of 64 and 70J, delamination and fibre failure were observed on the non-impacted side of the laminate, producing a straight line fracture or a cross-shaped fracture. The composite laminates perform better at lower strain rate of 1.2mm/min compared to 2mm/min, where higher average peak force and displacement was observed. …”

Impedance controlled human–robot collaborative tooling for edge chamfering and polishing applications by Kana, Sreekanth, Lakshminarayanan, Srinivasan, Mohan, Dhanya Menoth, Campolo, Domenico

“…For these kinds of tasks, the curve to be traced assumes the shape of a straight line along the edge. We make use of the compliant feature of a cobot, which allows the user to physically guide the robot in the task space, to generate a mathematical model for the tool path. …”

Strategic production process design with additive manufacturing in a make-to-stock environment by Chua, Ping Chong, Moon, Seung Ki, Ng, Yen Ting, Lopez, Manet

“…With AM suitable for small volumes of highly customized production, there are various ways of implementing AM in a conventional production line. The aim of this paper is to present a strategic design approach to implementing AM with conventional manufacturing in a complementary manner for parallel processing of production orders of large quantities in a make-to-stock environment. …”

Enhancement of refrigerant-side condensation heat transfer performance of additively-manufactured air-cooled heat exchangers by Goh, Chok Khai

“…For the heat transfer coefficient, while the overall range of values obtained were in line with literature, the trend of an increasing heat transfer coefficient with an increase in average vapour quality was not observed. …”

A tri-level typhoon-DAD robust optimization framework to enhance distribution network resilience by Hou, Hui, Wu, Wenjie, Zhang, Zhiwei, Wei, Ruizeng, Wang, Lei, He, Huan, Dong, Zhao Yang

“…The typhoons are regarded as attackers, and a tri-level Defender-Attacker-Defender model for typhoon disaster is used to integrate multiple resilience resources. In the first level, line hardening and distributed generation unit commitment are used to improve resilience in pre-disaster. …”

Modeling public transit route choice behaviour by Zhou, Yao Hui.

“…It was subsequently concluded that morning commuters on the Singapore MRT East West Line from the western region were experiencing overcrowding on their journeys, but the majority of them did not adapt their route or departure time choice as a result of the unpleasant experience in the crowd, because their comfort loss did not easily overcome the concerns over other prevailing factors, like the early arrival schedule cost. …”

Evaporation of water droplets under the enhanced gas concentration surrounding by Tan, Gary Zhao Quan

“…The temperatures at the apex of the droplet in the liquid phase were also found to be higher than what was measured at the point close to the contact line. The relative humidity calculated based on the predicted vapor pressure computed with the SRT approach appears to support the experimental data gathered. …”

Framework of key success criteria for high performance and sustainable ports - port management perspective by Lee, Nicole Jia Ying

“…More notably, as the other dimensions and perspectives triumphed the Social & Environment dimension and Sustainability perspective, the “Planet” aspect of the triple bottom line is the least of PSA’s concerns. Therefore, being able survive the competitive pressures takes precedence over socio-environmental sustainability concerns. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…With numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we show that this model accurately captures (1) the existence of experimentally observed satellite peaks that arise from nonlinear processes, (2) the locations of the two-photon peak in the spectrum, including AC Stark shifts, and (3) in some cases, spectral line shapes. To better understand these numerical results, we develop an approximate treatment of this model, based on Floquet and perturbation theory, that gives simple formulas that accurately capture the halo-state energies. …”
