Numerical simulation of titanium fibre metallic laminates under various impact loading by Selvadurai Shanmugasundram

“…In low impact velocity impact, the front and back panels failed in a petaling shape mode but when the impact velocity is increased to the ballistic level of 400m/s shear plugging was observed. The experimental setup is replicated in the FE model and analyzed for the same velocity and energy levels for both low and high velocity impacts models. …”

Range front faulting and volcanism in the mono basin, eastern California by Bursik, Marcus, Sieh, Kerry

“…Since the basin is extending obliquely to the trend of the frontal faults, there is a component of dextral shear to their motion, so that the Mono Craters may be forming on an extensional boundary of a pull-apart basin. …”

Galaxy bias in the era of LSST: perturbative bias expansions by Nicola, A, Hadzhiyska, B, Findlay, N, García-García, C, Alonso, D, Slosar, A, Guo, Z, Kokron, N, Angulo, R, Aviles, A, Blazek, J, Dunkley, J, Jain, B, Pellejero, M, Sullivan, J, Walter, CW, Zennaro, M

“…We consider a variety of different simulated galaxy samples and test the performance of the bias models in a tomographic joint analysis of LSST-Y10-like galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy-lensing and cosmic shear. We find both HEFT methods as well as LPT and EPT combined with non-perturbative predictions for the matter power spectrum to yield unbiased constraints on cosmological parameters up to at least a maximal scale of&nbsp;<em>k</em>_max&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.4&nbsp;Mpc^-1&nbsp;for all samples considered, even in the presence of assembly bias. …”

Ultrasound application and its effect on quality attributes of marinated goat meat by Kumar, P., Ahmed, M. A., Hayat, M. N., Abubakar, A. A., Rahman, M. M., Ismail Fitry, M. R., Kaka, U., Sazili, A. Q.

“…Marinade pick up (%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1, T2, T3 and T4 (2.42±0.04, 3.01±0.02, 5.24±0.05 and 5.60±0.023) compared to control (1.96±0.02).Cooking yield (%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1 (64.80±0.20) compared to T2 (63.02±0.18), T3 (62.95±0.21) and T4 (62.96±0.17). Shear force value (kg) was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T1, T2, T3 and T4 (0.842±0.04, 0.744±0.01, 0.623±0.08,0.637±0.05) compared to control (1.897±0.03). …”

Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…The simulation results also show that the presence of an interfacial void has a more adverse impact on the interfacial strength than having a void in the Si layer. Under the shear loading, the bilayer system deforms in three stages: elastic deformation, plastic flow in the a-Si3N4 layer and interfacial sliding. …”
