Geobarrier system for use in underground structure by Leong, Eng Choon, Zhai, Qian, Tan, Sze Tiong, Wang, Chien Looi, Lim, Vincent Han, Kew, Jernice Huiling, Seow, Wei Kiong, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Gofar, Nurly, Mohamed, Haneena

“…On the other hand, the negative pore-water pressure contributes additional shear strength to the unsaturated soil. As water infiltrates into the slope, pore-water pressure in the slope increases (matric suction decreases), and the additional shear strength due to matric suction will decrease or even disappear, causing the slope to be more susceptible to failure. …”

Rainfall-induced slope failures and preventive measures in Singapore by Harianto, Rahardjo, Leong, Eng Choon, Alfrendo, Satyanaga, Ng, Yew Song, Tan, Hong Tuan, Hua, Chai Juay

“…The negative pore-water pressure (matric suction) above the water table provides additional shear strength to the unsaturated soil. The unsaturated soil zone is also influenced by the ground surface moisture flux boundary condition changes (i.e. infiltration, evaporation and transpiration). …”

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. …”

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. …”

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. …”
