Net section fracture of aluminium alloy angle-to-plate connections: testing, modelling and design by Jiang, Ke, Li, Shuai, Guo, Tong, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The test setup, procedures and key obtained results, including failure loads, load–elongation curves, failure modes and strain distributions at failure cross-sections were reported. The shear lag effect and influences of the out-of-plane eccentricity, in-plane eccentricity, connection length and type of the connected leg on the net section efficiency were discussed. …”

Micro-engineered perfusable 3D vasculatures for cardiovascular diseases by Menon, Nishanth Venugopal, Tay, Hui Min, Wee, Soon Nan, Li, King Ho Holden, Hou, Han Wei

“…Whole blood was perfused (1-10 dyne cm-2) into the microdevices and distinct platelet and leukocyte adherence patterns were observed due to increased shear stresses at the constriction, and an additional convective flow through the collagen. …”

Remarkably enhanced thermal transport based on a flexible horizontally-aligned carbon nanotube array film by Qiu, Lin, Wang, Xiaotian, Su, Guoping, Tang, Dawei, Zheng, Xinghua, Zhu, Jie, Wang, Zhiguo, Norris, Pamela M., Bradford, Philip D., Zhu, Yuntian

“…Here we report a simultaneous sevenfold increase in in-plane thermal conductivity and a fourfold reduction in the thermal contact resistance at the flexible CNT-SiO2 coated heat sink interface by coupling the CNTs with orderly physical overlapping along the horizontal direction through an engineering approach (shear pressing). The removal of empty space rapidly increases the density of transport channels, and the replacement of the fine CNT tips with their cylindrical surface insures intimate contact at CNT-SiO2 interface. …”

Hydrate-phobic surfaces: fundamental studies in clathrate hydrate adhesion reduction by Smith, J. David, Meuler, Adam J., Bralower, Harrison L., Venkatesan, Rama, Subramanian, Sivakumar, Cohen, Robert E., McKinley, Gareth H., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…In this paper, we present an alternate approach of using functionalized coatings to reduce hydrate adhesion to surfaces, ideally to a low enough level that hydrodynamic shear stresses can detach deposits and prevent plug formation. …”

Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…The upper region of its valence band is found to solely consist of lone pair p-orbital states, which are by nature more delocalized than the d-orbital states in transition metal dichalcogenides, implying superior transport performance of antimonene. The Young's and shear moduli of β-antimonene are observed to be ∼25% higher than those of bulk antimony, while the hexagonal lattice constant of the monolayer reduces significantly (∼5%) from that in bulk, indicative of strong interlayer coupling. …”

Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Rock stability tests were conducted to determine the critical efflux velocity of the propeller jet when shear failure of the riprap was observed. The critical efflux velocity measured from the experiments were subsequently compared with the critical efflux velocity predicted using the German and Dutch methods. …”
