Predicting response of reinforced concrete slabs under low-velocity impact by Xiao, Yao, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…In this model, the slab stiffness is calculated based on its dynamic load–displacement curve, which is built using moment–curvature analysis and critical shear crack theory. The contact between the impactor and the impacted RC slab is modelled with an elastic spring and a viscous damper. …”

Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As compared with the control wafer pair with a prebonding anneal at 300°C for 1 h in N2, the wafer pair without a prebonding anneal showed greater improvement in void density based on c-mode scanning acoustic microscopy (c-SAM). Dicing yield and shear strength were also enhanced when a prebonding anneal was not applied. …”

Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. Treatment of sago starch with a mixture of STPP and STMP yielded the best starch phosphate at the reaction pH of 9.5 which showed lower hot paste viscosity and much higher cold paste viscosity than that of sago starch phosphates prepared at pH 9 using STPP. …”

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. …”

The Influence of Root Geometry on Soil Cohesion and Anchoring Ability through Geologic Time by Colicci, Vittorio

“…Force laws were then derived to approximate the anchoring contributions of root weight, sediment weight, static friction, and shear strength. This analysis revealed a strong dependence on the span, surface area, and volume of the root system, which were used to normalize values across different geometries. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…Above a threshold value of c/U ≈ 1, separation is eliminated; and, relative to small- c/U cases, turbulence intensity and turbulent shear stress are reduced significantly. The drag force decreases monotonically as c/U increases while the power required for the transverse motion generally increases for large c/U; the net power input is found to reach a minimum at c/U ≈ 1.2 (for fixed U). …”
