3-D analysis of one-strut failure in braced excavation by Tan, Pei Qi.

“…The strut failure level was designated at either the 3rd layer or the 5th layer, in a 5 layer strutting system. The shear strength of the deeper clay layer was varied for better understanding of the excavation site.Comparing the data from the three-dimensional analysis, the plane strain analysis resulted in a slight overestimation of the results. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…The first step is to find the relationship of a crack and inclusion whereby it is found that the CTOD of the crack will increase with the increase in crack size and the impact of Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus ratio, radius of inclusion, and the crack-inclusion distance on fracture properties was also found. …”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. Shear-wave velocity reductions in the two LLVPs are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. …”

Mechanical properties and cracking behaviour of marble and moulded gypsum under high strain rates by Zou, Chunjiang

“…The mechanical properties of both intact and non-intact specimens including the compressive strength, the tensile strength, the elastic modulus, and the failure strain are tested under different strain rates by using a servo compression machine and a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. Experimental results reveal that these mechanical properties all show strain rate-dependence to different degrees. …”

Synthesis and performance analysis of a polysulfone braid-supported hollow fiber membrane for natural gas purification by Imtiaz, Aniqa, Kamaludin, Roziana, Othman, Mohd. Hafiz Dzarfan, Jilani, Asim, Khan, Imran Ullah, Muhammad Ayub, Muhammad Ayub, Samuel, Ojo, Iftikhar, Musawira

“…To assess the performance, gas separation tests were conducted using pure gases at 3 bar. Notably, the membrane sample with 21 wt% PSF and the 3rd coating layer (21_3 PSF) exhibited the most promising gas separation performance among all the samples selected to carry out the separation performance test, achieving a CO2/CH4 selectivity of 1.83. …”
