Metal additive manufacturing repair study on rail steel with Stellite 6 powder by Nellian, Alagu Subramaniam, Pang, John Hock Lye

“…The measured wear data and wear coefficients for Stellite 6 and rail steel were fitted to Archard's wear model. Shear testing was conducted to measure the clad/substrate shear strength as an indication of the metallurgical bond strength. …”

Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Furthermore, in order to examine the buckling phenomena of moderately thick composite beam, three different collections of expressions designated as FSDT methods 1, 2 and 3 are presented to compute three separate sets of values for the effective flexural stiffness, effective shear modulus and shear correction factor in the first-order shear deformation beam theory. …”

Study of local site effects using microtremor survey method by Zhu, Cheng.

“…Local site effects are typically characterized by the shear-wave velocity profile of the subsurface layers or the fundamental frequency of the site, which can be obtained by various means. …”

The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…Using high-resolution bathymetry and seismic reflection data, we report the discovery of new N294°E-striking shear zones, oblique to the plate fabric. These shear zones are expressed by sets of normal faults striking at N335°E, defining the direction of the principal compressional stress in the region. …”

Experimental and numerical investigation of adhesively bonded kfrp/steel double strap joints incorporating eggshell powder-toughened epoxy adhesive by Chia Lia Yip, Chia Lia Yip, Sugiman Sugiman, Sugiman Sugiman, Desmond Chin, Desmond Chin, Ahmad, Hilton

“…Moreover, epoxy resin is widely used as a matrix of composites and adhesives; however, it has low shear strength. Improvement of epoxy properties is therefore required, for example, by incorporating biofiller such as eggshells from household waste, which contain calcite, to improve its shear strength. …”

Non-slipping adhesive contact between dissimilar elastic solids under normal and tangential loads by Ma, L, Chen, Y, Hills, DA

“…Specifically, (i) the shear-off force of adhesive contact is proposed; (ii) the effect of tangential load on the puff-off force is presented; (iii) the influence of the normal load on the shear-off force is obtained; (iv) in the context of these results, the nominal static friction coefficient is defined and analyzed, and it is shown that the static friction coefficient is a function of external normal load, which can well explain some experimental results in the literature. …”

Durability of woven composite structures by Satrio Wicaksono

“…There are evidences showing that accelerated testing methodology cannot be used to predict the shear fatigue strength at arbitrary load ratio but can be used to predict the shear fatigue strength at arbitrary temperature and zero load ratio. …”

Governing failure mode of unsaturated soil slopes under rainwater infiltration by Huang, Wengui, Leong, Eng-Choon, Rahardjo, Harianto

“…The governing failure mode is likely to be affected by soil properties, slope geometry, depth of wetting front and contribution of matric suction to shear strength, which were investigated in this study. …”

Evaluation of process requirements for room temperature direct copper bonding by Chen, Qiang.

“…In this thesis, by coating the copper surface with a self assembled monolayer of alkanethiol prior to bonding, Cu joints can be successfully formed at room temperature in ambient environment, yielding joint shear strength up to 60MPa. Copper bond shear strength of 15 MPa is achieved even at 50MPa at 25°C with copper coated with C18. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”

Encapsulation of probiotics for food and beverage applications by Ang, Kai Lin

“…Up to date, no studies have been done to examine the viability of probiotics in popular, well-liked, commercialized carbonated sodas/beers, but it is known that certain components in these matrices (e.g. phosphoric acid in soda, hops and ethanol in beers) can reduce the viability of probiotics. …”
