Two-dimensional design and analysis of centrifugal blood pump impeller by Koh, Choon Peng.

“…The objective for impeller's blade curvature design is to achieve high efficiency and head generation for the pump, while at the same time minimising the highly sheared turbulent flow within the pump. The blades' curvatures are assumed to have constant thickness and were modelled numerically. …”

Behaviour of reinforced welded tubular joints by Wong, Looi Kian.

“…Arising from this last minute alteration and/or addition of loading conditions, some of the tubular joints need to be reinforced in order to avoid punching shear failure due to axial compression. One of the convenient and less costly methods is to reinforce the joints with doubler plates. …”

Numerical simulation and experimental investigation of cavity filling in powder injection rapid prototyping process by Lin, Bilon.

“…The essential problem in the cavity filling is the non-homogeneous powder distribution in the green part caused by shear-induced powder migration and flow convection, which may influence dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of final PIRP parts. …”

Investigation of nano-copper for electronic packaging application : solder metallization and die attach by Luo, Kaiming

“…By fractographic analysis of the shear test result, NC/Cu failure mode is verified as bulk (cohesive) failure, which resulted in higher failure strength. …”

Near-field dynamics of parallel twin jets in cross-flow by Zang, Bin, New, Tze How

“…Further examination into the Reynolds shear stresses indicates that there exists substantial flow shear stress as the pair of inner vortices interacts, which yields higher entrainment level of the cross-flow fluid in regions adjacent to the symmetry plane. …”

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. …”

Acoustic valley edge states in a graphene-like resonator system by Yang, Yahui, Yang, Zhaoju, Zhang, Baile

“…Similar to a gapped graphene, gapless topological valley edge states can be found at a zigzag domain wall separating different domains with opposite valley Chern numbers, while an armchair domain wall hosts no gapless edge states. …”

Effects of deep excavation on pile behaviour by Vindy

“…This report will focus on the effect of deep excavation on adjacent pile behaviour.Parametric studies using plane strain and three-dimensional finite element analyses programs, PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D Foundation are carried out to investigate the various aspects that influence the pile responses such as the effect of wall stiffness (flexible, medium and stiff walls), pile diameter (0.6 m and 1 m diameter), distance from pile to the primary wall (1 m and 5 m), and undrained shear strength of the soil which is assumed to increase linearly with depth of excavation. …”

Investigation of wind actions on core-walls in high-rise buildings by Ong, Jing Yuan

“…The parameters discussed in this report include the ultimate overturning moment of the core-wall at the ground, lateral shear force, diaphragm drift of the core-wall and storey drift.…”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…Sticky patches are regions with higher basal shear stress than their surroundings. By including basal shear stresses in the classical, vertical mode-I fracture model, I model basal hydrofracturing on the ice--bedrock interface near a sticky patch. …”

Non-invertible Condensation, Duality, and Triality Defects in 3+1 Dimensions by Choi, Yichul, Córdova, Clay, Hsin, Po-Shen, Lam, Ho T., Shao, Shu-Heng

“…Interestingly, the fusion coefficients are generally not numbers, but 2+1d TQFTs, such as invertible SPT phases, $${\mathbb {Z}}_N$$ Z N gauge theories, and $$U(1)_N$$ U ( 1 ) N Chern-Simons theories. The associativity of these algebras over TQFT coefficients relies on nontrivial facts about 2+1d TQFTs. …”

Stress investigation on crack tip plastic zone - part II: sub-interface crack and crack in layered materials by Poh, Xuan You.

“…The values of plastic zone size, normal stress and shear stress are pre-determined by satisfying the conditions that both Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors vanish and the Von Mises yield criterion is met. …”
