This chapter discusses the important issue of experimental noise simulation in the formulation of piecewise virtual fields method for the characterization of thin composite plate. In actual practice, the full field data captured through an optical dive on the surface of a specimen is always prone to some noise effect. In order to accurately identif

This chapter discusses reciprocity gap method that makes use of full filed data. In this method, full field displacement data is measured at the specimen boundary. For the case of static loading, displacement-force boundary data is measured and using principle of virtual work, a reciprocity gap functional is reconstructed to give the interior and w

This chapter discusses constitutive equation gap method used for identification of materials constitutive parameters. It involves a comparison of given stress field and displacement field to a computed stress field generated by using an initial set of materials constitutive model. This method is based on the gap estimation and minimization that is

This chapter discusses the equilibrium gap method that utilizes full field data measured over a surface. The method has been shown to give promising results for identification of elastic constitutive properties. Also, the method has been applied to the case of a damaged specimen. Initial trial values of unknown data is given as input and then the g

This paper focuses on the contractual mechanisms that will help to achieve a fair allocation of risk between operators and contractors in the oil and gas projects. Companies that are actively dealing with a wide range of activities which engage volatile hydrocarbons are exposed to substantial risks and liabilities. In this regard, most of the petro

The aspiration of Malaysian education system as mentioned in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 is to produce students who are highly critical and creative. Since teaching for higher order thinking was made explicit since 1989, a systematic evaluation of the adequacy and pitfalls of teaching for thinking programs was not done extensively. I

Kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan tentang perkembangan sejarah penglibatan wanita di Malaysia dalam bidang kehakiman. Bidang kehakiman bukan hanya tertakluk kepada hakim sahaja tetapi termasuk juga menjadi peguam Syarie, Pegawai Sulh dan Ketua Pendaftar. Antara isu-isu yang akan diketengahkan ialah mengenai kelayakan utama untuk menjad

Abstract: Inappropriate use of antibiotics in human and animal is one of the causes of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluates the prevalence and predictors of antibiotic use among pediatric patients visiting the Emergency Department (ED) in Malaysia. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the ED of a tertiary hospital. Data

The standard form of oilfield service contracts, such as the Leading Oil and Gas Competitiveness (LOGIC) model, is widely used in Southeast Asia including Thailand. Under the LOGIC model form, the allocation of risk is set out by way of knock-for-knock indemnities where each party will indemnify the other for bodily injury or death of his employees
