Superplasticity and forming of advanced materials by Tan, Ming Jen., Liew, Kim Meow., Thiruvarudchelvan, Sinnathamby.

“…This phenomenon results from the ability of the material to resist localized deformation much the same as hot glass does. As high elongations are possible, complex contoured parts can be formed in a single press cycle often eliminating the need for multipart fabrications. …”

Experimental investigation of pile-supported/floating breakwaters integrated with oscillating-water-column converters by He, Fang

“…For a pneumatic chamber with a small top opening, energy dissipation came mainly from the air flow through the small top opening and the vortex shedding at the tips of the pneumatic chamber walls; both small reflection coefficients and large energy extraction efficiencies were achieved when the rear wall of the pneumatic chamber is part of the vertical wall. (3) Hydrodynamic performance of a floating breakwater with and without pneumatic chambers was experimentally investigated. …”

running away, running towards: a collection of sestinas by Zhu, Alan Y.

“…The repetition of words in the sestina form also gives these poems an obsessive quality, reflecting how we move forwards even as we keep returning to the same thoughts, ideas, places, and words. The thesis consists of three parts. …”

Reduced semiconductor energy conversion systems. by Zhang, Lei.

“…A detailed application study needs to be conducted before a sound judgment can be made for the considered topology especially with reduced components. The same principle applies to the nine-switch converter recently proposed for replacing the more generalized twelve-switch back-to-back converter found in many ac-ac energy conversion systems. …”
