Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

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. …”

Extremely versatile deformability beyond materiality : a new material platform through simple cutting for rugged batteries by Kim, Kee-Bum, Lee, Young-Joo, Costa, Avelino, Lee, Yu-Ki, Jang, Tae-Sik, Lee, Myoung-Gyu, Joo, Young-Chang, Oh, Kyu Hwan, Song, Juha, Choi, In-Suk

“…In particular, an auxetic cut flexible substrate accommodates various complex deformations and adaptive conformations through the hinge joints because the external force is highly localized in the hinges while the segmented motifs remain almost undeformed. …”

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. …”
