Comparative study on design of braced excavation systems by Toh, Yan Ting

“…From this study, the following findings are drawn: The Hardening Soil and the Hardening Soil with small-strain stiffness models generate conservative settlement profiles compared to the Mohr-Coulomb model; Combination 1 provides a conservative estimation of the wall bending moments; Upper strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 1 while bottom strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 2 Scheme 1; Scheme 2 gives a large bending moment than Scheme 1; The Mohr-Coulomb model, generally, gives a smaller maximum wall bending moment than the Hardening Soil model; findings from sheet pile excavation deviate from those from diaphragm wall excavations; and lastly, consideration of factored E50/cu ratio produces similar strut forces and bending moments compared to unfactored E50/cu values.…”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”

Slow viscous flow around two particles in a cylinder by Yao, Xin, Marcos, Wong, Teck Neng

“…The two solutions are performed in an iterated framework using the method of reflections. We compute the drag force and torque coefficients of the particles which are dependent on the distances among the cylinder wall and the two particles. …”

A model of intonational phonology of Singapore Malay by Diyana Hamzah

“…Intonation in Singapore Malay involves phrase-final rises, and an utterance-final rise-fall at the end of declaratives. The location of the utterance-final rise is dependent on the number of syllables of the final word. …”

Experimental investigation of a distributed propulsion system by Mehta, Ronak Chittesh

“…Another configuration was also tested, with an opposite rotation direction of the propellers, with similar parameters and showed an overall better performance than the prior configuration through higher lift and lower drag at all parameters resulting in a higher aerodynamic efficiency.…”

the other child / by Atkins, Lucy, 192824 author

“…When Tess is sent to photograph Greg, a high-profile paediatric heart surgeon, she sees something troubled in his face, and feels instantly drawn to him. Their relationship quickly deepens, but then Tess, single mother to nine-year-old Joe, falls pregnant, and Greg is offered the job ofa lifetime back in his hometown of Boston. …”

Numerical study of trapped vortex combustors characteristics in small ramjets by Chen, Song

“…The results show that the optimal cavity size that traps a vortex inside can be determined by calculating the drag coefficient. Because the designed small combustor does not have bypass air directed into the cavity, injecting all the fuel directly in the optimal cavity always leads to an overly fuel-rich condition. …”
