The bending-stretching effect of a nonlinear elastic beam under finite deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…This effect is present as long as there is finite deformation, even if the material is linearly elastic. A small shear modulus μ and/or a large third-order elastic constant l, m or n will result in a large ξ. …”

Database for dynamic properties of Singapore soils by Leong, Eng Choon.

“…The effects of void ratio, confining pressure and plasticity index on the stiffness-strain relationship of saturated undisturbed soil samples were investigated. It was found that shear modulus increases with increase in plasticity index and confining pressure but decreases with the increase in void ratio. …”

Stress singularity of a notch in a higher-order elastic solid under anti-plane deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…Specifically, for a given notch angle the stress exponent becomes more negative with decrease in the first Lamé constant λ and the third-order elastic constant n, and with the increase in the magnitude of the negative third-order constant m, while it varies non-monotonically with the second Lamé constant (shear modulus) µ.These results have significant implications for notch-like defects in soft solids, e.g., replacement tissues, industrial robots and devices in biomedical applications.…”

Seismic behavior of interior concretebeam-column joints with non-seismic and limited seismic detailing by Li, Qingyuan.

“…Recent post-earthquake investigations indicated that extensive damage occurred as a result of excessive shear deformation and severe strength degradation of the beamcolumn joints in non-seismically detailed frames, thus leading to full collapse of structures. …”

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. …”
