Reduction of bubble cavitation by modifying the diffraction wave from a lithotripter aperture by Zhou, Yufeng

“…There is no difference, however, in both the amplitude and duration of the compressive shockwaves between these two configurations as well as the −6 dB beam width in the focal plane. The significant suppression effect of bubble cavitation was confirmed by the measured bubble collapse time using passive cavitation detection. …”

Investigation of soil-structure interaction for deep excavations by Hensman, P

“…The deep excavation was supported by a complex ’combi-wall’ cofferdam, a reinforced concrete (RC) capping beam, and two levels of internal bracing, and its performance was assessed through measured wall deflections, bracing member loads, and site and bunker water levels. …”

Evaluation and selection of rice mutants for high yield and quality fodder production by Abisola, Oladosu Yusuff

Programmable interfacial band configuration in WS2/Bi2O2Se heterojunctions by Zhang, Hanwen, Fu, Jianhui, Carvalho, Alexandra, Poh, Eng Tuan, Chung, Jing-Yang, Feng, Minjun, Chen, Yinzhu, Wang, Bo, Shang, Qiuyu, Yang, Hengxing, Zhang, Zheng, Lim, Sharon Xiaodai, Gao, Weibo, Gradečak, Silvija, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Lu, Junpeng, He, Chunnian, Sum, Tze Chien, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Using this material combination, we further design a sophisticated band architecture incorporating both type-I (WS2 straddles Bi2O2Se, fluorescence-quenched) and type-I (Bi2SeO5 straddles WS2, fluorescence-recovered) alignments in one sample through focused laser beam (FLB). By programming the FLB trajectory, we achieve a predesigned localized fluorescence micropattern on WS2 without changing its intrinsic atomic structure. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Constructing 3D self-supporting surfaces with isotropic stress using 4D minimal hypersurfaces of revolution by Ma, Long, He, Ying, Sun, Qian, Zhou, Yuanfeng, Zhang, Caiming, Wang, Wenping

“…The existing thrust network analysis methods discretize both geometry and material by approximating the continuous stress field through uniaxial singular stresses, making them an ideal tool for analysis and design of beam structures. In contrast, our method works on piecewise linear surfaces with continuous material. …”

Effect of geometric scaling on the microstructural development of selective laser melted metal parts by Ng, Angelin Shia Yin

“…This study discusses the effect of geometric scaling, delay time (i.e., the time it takes for the laser beam to jump from one scan vector to the adjacent scan vector, which is controlled by the jump speed), gas flow, and defocusing distance on microstructural development and mechanical properties of selective laser melted 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel has been used in various industries such as aerospace and petrochemical industries due to its superior properties such as very good corrosion resistance. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our model reveals that, depending on the fibrillar aspect ratio, the adhesive fibril exhibits three distinct deformation regimes: thin film shearing, thick block shearing, and slender beam bending. The important parameters governing the shear adhesion of the lap shear system are the aspect ratio of fibrils, elastic moduli of the fibrils and substrates, while the Poisson's ratio of fibrils has no noticeable effect. …”
