Characterization of residual soil properties on slope in Dusun UTM, Johor by Norhidayah, Mohamed, Muhammad Farhan, Zolkepli, Ahmad Safuan, A. Rashid, Muhammad Syamsul Imran, Zaini, Mohd Fakhrurrazi, Ishak

“…Result for consolidated isotropic undrained (CIU) test indicates that the stress-strain curve demonstrates a hardening behaviour, which no peak stress observed during shearing process. Moreover, increasing confining pressures applied to the soil sample led to enhancement in the soil’s strength properties. …”

Poroelastic behavior and water permeability of human skin at the nanoscale by Oftadeh, Ramin, Azadi, Mojtaba, Donovan, Mark, Langer, Jessica, Liao, I-Chien, Ortiz, Christine, Grodzinsky, Alan J, Luengo, Gustavo S

“…Furthermore, our methods can assess the ability of these individual layers to respond to both compressive and shear deformations. In addition, since human skin is mechanically loaded over a wide range of deformation rates (frequencies), we studied the biophysical properties of skin over a wide frequency range. …”

Explaining the spread in measurement of PDMS elastic properties: influence of test method and curing protocol by Varner, Hannah, Cohen, Tal

“…Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), commonly obtained from Dow as SYLGARD 184, is a ubiquitous such material, which has been integral to the rapid development of biocompatible microfluidic devices and flexible electronics in recent decades. However, reported shear moduli of this material range over 2 orders of magnitude for similar chemical compositions. …”

Remarkably enhanced thermal transport based on a flexible horizontally-aligned carbon nanotube array film by Qiu, Lin, Wang, Xiaotian, Su, Guoping, Tang, Dawei, Zheng, Xinghua, Zhu, Jie, Wang, Zhiguo, Norris, Pamela M., Bradford, Philip D., Zhu, Yuntian

“…Here we report a simultaneous sevenfold increase in in-plane thermal conductivity and a fourfold reduction in the thermal contact resistance at the flexible CNT-SiO2 coated heat sink interface by coupling the CNTs with orderly physical overlapping along the horizontal direction through an engineering approach (shear pressing). The removal of empty space rapidly increases the density of transport channels, and the replacement of the fine CNT tips with their cylindrical surface insures intimate contact at CNT-SiO2 interface. …”
