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. …”

Suction and strength of unsaturated soils by Bulolo, Sam

“…The current osmotic technique of controlling matric suction was improved using reverse osmosis membrane and sodium chloride solutions. New shear strength equation incorporating suction stress that took into account the availability of data for constant suction and constant water content direct shear tests was proposed. …”

‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). Shear adhesion was 5-fold higher than L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-based mussel adhesives tested on similar biomaterials. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…During extension, sub-orthogonal dilatational forces exceeded sub-horizontal shear stresses thus facilitating the repeated emplacement of sheeted granite melt, a process analogous to low-angle tension gash development. …”

Stiffness characteristics of unsaturated soil by Ong Lay Sah @ Lisa (Wang Lisha).

“…Soil is observed to fail at very small strain (0.001% shear strain), hence it is of great importance to understand the behaviour of unsaturated soil at very small strain stiffness and soil stiffness under load. …”
