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. …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…Thrust-sense D2 fabrics were reactivated during D3 as the Greater Himalayan Sequence was exhumed along the normal-sense Zanskar Shear Zone, which is part of the South Tibetan Detachment System. …”

The bending-stretching effect of a nonlinear elastic beam under finite deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…This effect is present as long as there is finite deformation, even if the material is linearly elastic. A small shear modulus μ and/or a large third-order elastic constant l, m or n will result in a large ξ. …”

Database for dynamic properties of Singapore soils by Leong, Eng Choon.

“…The effects of void ratio, confining pressure and plasticity index on the stiffness-strain relationship of saturated undisturbed soil samples were investigated. It was found that shear modulus increases with increase in plasticity index and confining pressure but decreases with the increase in void ratio. …”

Effect of rainfall on the slope stability of residual soil in Singapore by Rahardjo, Harianto

“…The project consisted of field and laboratory investigations to establish the shear strength and permeability characteristics of selected residual soils, field instrumentation to study matric suction profiles in a typical residual soil slope, field reconnaissance of several rainfall-induced landslides, and a numerical back analysis of a failed slope.…”

Stress singularity of a notch in a higher-order elastic solid under anti-plane deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…Specifically, for a given notch angle the stress exponent becomes more negative with decrease in the first Lamé constant λ and the third-order elastic constant n, and with the increase in the magnitude of the negative third-order constant m, while it varies non-monotonically with the second Lamé constant (shear modulus) µ.These results have significant implications for notch-like defects in soft solids, e.g., replacement tissues, industrial robots and devices in biomedical applications.…”

Seismic behavior of interior concretebeam-column joints with non-seismic and limited seismic detailing by Li, Qingyuan.

“…Recent post-earthquake investigations indicated that extensive damage occurred as a result of excessive shear deformation and severe strength degradation of the beamcolumn joints in non-seismically detailed frames, thus leading to full collapse of structures. …”

Study of endothelial cell apoptosis using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor cell line with hemodynamic microfluidic chip system by Yu, J. Q., Liu, X. F., Chin, Lip Ket, Liu, Ai Qun, Luo, Kathy Qian

“…A 12% apoptotic rate (nearly a 4-fold increase compared to the static condition) was observed when the endothelial cells were exposed to a high glucose concentration of 20 mM under 2 h exhaustive pulsatile shear stress of 30 dyne cm−2 and followed with another 10 h normal pulsatile shear stress of 15 dyne cm−2. …”

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. …”
