AE monitoring of reinforced concrete squat wall subjected to cyclic loading with information entropy-based analysis by Zhang, Xinchen, Shan, Wenchen, Zhang, Zhongwen, Li, Bing

“…Furthermore, accumulated AE energy shows a good correlation with the accumulated hysteretic energy and the damage assessment based on RA-AF analysis indicates the shear cracks are the dominant crack mode. Information entropy-based analysis was conducted, and its feasibility in monitoring the development of main cracks was validated. …”

Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…To motivate the analysis we consider the paradigm problem of the debonding of a distribution of cylindrical inclusions in an elastic material undergoing antiplane shear, with bonded and debonded inclusions playing the role of unbuckled and buckled shells respectively. …”

Dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete beams under varying rates of concentrated loading by Adhikary, Satadru Das, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models of RC beams have been described and verified with the experimental results, followed by a parametric study to investigate the influence of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the transverse reinforcement ratio and the shear span to effective depth ratio. Empirical equations are proposed in terms of various parameters to predict the Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF) of maximum resistance of RC beams under varying loading rates.…”

Two and three-dimensional slope stability reanalyses of Bukit Batok slope by Leong, Eng Choon, Rahardjo, Harianto

“…The 2D and 3D slope stability analyses on the slope that failed in 1989 showed that the average shear strength parameters of the residual soils are representative of the slope and the factors of safety obtained from 2D slope stability analyses are not necessarily more conservative than 3D slope stability analyses. …”

Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As compared with the control wafer pair with a prebonding anneal at 300°C for 1 h in N2, the wafer pair without a prebonding anneal showed greater improvement in void density based on c-mode scanning acoustic microscopy (c-SAM). Dicing yield and shear strength were also enhanced when a prebonding anneal was not applied. …”

Large eddy simulations of turbulent circular wall jets by Zhang, Shuai, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Zhao, Bing

“…Overall, the study shows that LES coupling with proper near-wall modelling can simulate both the kinematic and mixing characteristics of the turbulent wall jet in a satisfactory manner, and the accuracy is superior to the RANS models with enhanced wall functions for this three-dimensional wall-bounded shear flow. The advantages can be attributed directly to the better simulations of the anisotropic jet spreading near the wall.…”
