Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Rock stability tests were conducted to determine the critical efflux velocity of the propeller jet when shear failure of the riprap was observed. The critical efflux velocity measured from the experiments were subsequently compared with the critical efflux velocity predicted using the German and Dutch methods. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Five RANS turbulence models: Spalart-Allmaras (Vorticity-based production); Spalart-Allmaras (Strain / Vorticity-based production); k-ε Standard (Enhanced Wall Treatment); k-ε Realizable (Enhanced Wall Treatment) and k-ω Standard (Shear Flow Correction), are chosen after comparing with DNS data published by Moser et al (1999). [20] Subsequently, the single and multiple dimpled channel flows are modeled and simulated by the five RANS models chosen in the verification stage with periodic boundary condition, a Reynolds number of 20000, and a three-dimensional channel of L = 1.5 m, B = 0.454 m and H = 1 m. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…Finally, to demonstrate potential applications, the proposed CaproGlu bioadhesive is mixed with osseointegrative additive to form a bone cement biocomposite using a model PMMA pin that allows biocomposite curing through a transparent light guide, with resulting lap shear strength up to 40 kPa. Overall, this diazirine-based adhesive system demonstrates a novelty in adhesive design where excellent tunability in material properties can be achieved by modifying composition (adding liquid polymer or solid particles) and light activation parameters (power, wavelength) with direct application towards soft and hard tissue adhesion.…”

Multi-sensor calibration and multi-modal perception for intelligent systems by Zhang, Jun

“…The main novelty is we propose to use the easy-to-obtain objects in the traffic for calibration (cars, trucks, buses, etc.). The essence is we observe that the 3D bounding box centers of the vehicles are viewpoint invariant. …”

Mechanical behaviors of individual core-shell microspheres and their polymeric composites under different strain rates by Zhang, Xin

“…The core material may also influence the properties of core-shell structure. Since Shear thickening fluid (STF) can transfer from liquid state to solid state during impact, it can diversify the application of core-shell microspheres. …”

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…The first one is the systems stemmed from random organization (RO) dynamics, which is a model originally proposed to describe the chaotic particle motion in sheared non-Brownian suspensions. The subsequent one is the hyperuniform systems found in active particle systems, including hyperuniform reactive particle fluids and the chiral active brownian systems and biological algae systems, etc. …”

Development of schlieren-image based flow diagnostics and analysis for supersonic jet flows by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang

“…When compared against PIV results, the much higher spatial and temporal resolution of SIVOF resulted in sharper and clearer vortical structures that can be tracked across several time-resolved frames. An embedded shear layer resulting from subsonic flow downstream of a 0.9 mm diameter Mach disk was also observed, which is testament to the high-fidelity flow field offered by SIVOF. …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…Secondly, current domain adaptation methods require careful manual hyper-parameter tuning, which is not realistic for unmanned systems such as smart cars. To stabilize the training of adversarial domain adaptation, Max-margin Domain-Adversarial Training (MDAT) is developed in this thesis to realize stable convergence without cumbersome manuals. …”
