Critical temperatures in thermocompression gold stud bonding by Zhang, G. G., Ang, X. F., Chen, Z., Wong, Chee C., Wei, J.

“…Under similar bonding conditions, the critical temperature is lower for a harder substrate than for a softer substrate, primarily because of larger interfacial shear stresses. This is supported by the observation on the interfacial shear stress distribution at the bonding interface based on finite element simulation models of substrates with different hardness.…”

Near bed hydraulics and sediment transport in currents and waves by Lim, Siow Yong., Tan, Soon Keat., Yu, Guoliang.

“…The first is a theory on the flow distribution near channel beds and shear stress on the beds. The second topic is an experimental study on the velocity distribution and scour around submerged structures, while the third topic involves large scale physical modeling of seabed sediment motion in the southern waters of Singapore Waters.…”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…These starches can be recognised physically by their clarity on gelatinisation, stability to retrogradation, low resistance to shear and high cold‐paste viscosity. The addition of mung bean flour to tapioca flour helped increase the protein content and flavour of the keropok; it also reduced the oil absorption of the keropok during frying. …”
