Shear punching of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass (2012)
Journal Article
Huang, Y., Wang, D., Fan, H., Sun, J., Shen, J., & Mi, J. (2013). Shear punching of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass. Materials Science and Engineering: A, 561, 220-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2012.11.022

In the paper, the deformation of Ti40Zr25Ni3Cu12Be20 bulk metallic glass plate subjected to shear punching has been studied. The fractured surface of the punch-out disks consists of three characteristic zones, namely the deformation band, the fractur... Read More about Shear punching of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass.

Narrow sidebranch arrays for low frequency duct noise control (2012)
Journal Article
Tang, S. K. (2012). Narrow sidebranch arrays for low frequency duct noise control. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 132(5), 3086-3097. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4756951

The present study investigates the sound transmission loss across a section of an infinitely long duct where one or more narrow sidebranch tubes are installed flushed with the duct wall. The finite-element method is used to compute the wave propagati... Read More about Narrow sidebranch arrays for low frequency duct noise control.

A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception (2012)
Journal Article
Wu, Y. I., Wong, K. T., Yuan, X., Lau, S. K., & Tang, S. K. (2012). A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 131(5), 3891-3902. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3701991

Herein investigated are computationally simple microphone-array beamformers that are independent of the frequency-spectra of all signals, all interference, and all noises. These beamformers allow the listener to tune the desired azimuth-elevation "lo...
