The effect of laser shock peening and shot peening on the fatigue performance of aluminium alloy 7075 by Becker, Alexander

“…The introduction of residual compressive stresses into the surface layers of components, through various means including shot peening and laser shock peening, can result in local residual compressive stresses which provide a resistance to both crack initiation and propagation, thus leading to an increase in the fatigue life of the components. …”

Vibration Serviceability of Long Span Slender Floors by Matela, Mou Michael

“…Even though these vibrations do not lead to structural failure in most cases, they can often create such an excessive discomfort to the occupants that they render the structure unusable (Orvin et al, 2016). …”

Water quality effects on the bubble-particle attachment of sulfide minerals by October, Lisa Louise

“…Literature would suggest that this result of an increase in particle recovery and bubble-particle attachment may be due to the increase in concentration of inorganic electrolytes; which leads to the compression of the electrical double layer and the subsequent faster rupturing of the film at the air – water and solid – water interfaces resulting in faster bubble-particle attachment. …”

Powder packing optimisation for clinker reduction in concrete by Holmes, Matthew

“…This was attributed to the ability of fine fillers to prevent interconnectivity of the pore structure and the decreased volume of gel hydration products leading to reduced drying shrinkage. Compressive strength was tested for a binary (cement/limestone) and ternary (cement /limestone/fly ash (FA)) binder blend for Phase 2 in conjunction with a substantially reduced water content. …”
