Ringkasan Produk
Infiltration of rainfall is known as a main factor
for failure of unsaturated soil in tropical region.
Most of the previous researches were using
soil column system and numerical modeling to
study and predicting volumetric water content
which is the main parameter in analyzing
soil failure. In this research, an innovative
method called Electrical Capacitance Volume
Tomography (ECVT) was used in geotechnical
engineering application in determining the
real time imaging of rainfall infiltration into
unsaturated soil. This method also attains
permittivity value through the experiment and
converted to volumetric water content using
equation. Four types of soils were used in
the research; soil from Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia (UKM), gravelly sand, silty sand, and
kaolin. The results show that real time images
were produced through image reconstruction
method. Images which permittivity indicated
the rainfall infiltration were clearly shown in the
results. This new technology is expected to
enhance the understanding of soil behavior
especially for rainfall infiltration that relates to
soil failure.
Blast resistance glass panel is developed using
lamination technology comprises of several
layers of annealed glass panel permanently
bonded together with Polyurethane interlayers.
Through the field blast test conducted , the
laminated glass have shown a significant
resistance to blast loading. This results show
that this glass panel is potential to be used in
high risk terrorist threat environment such as
hotels, government building and also airports.
Chemring Technology Solutions has
successfully integrated SmartLink™, a
portable network-in-a-box, with TACCOMS,
a unique software application developed by
the National Defence University of Malaysia,
to deliver a complete C4 (command, control,
communication and coordination) capability for
tactical operations. TACCOMS + SMARTLINK
integrated solution’s C4 capability improves
tactical team collaboration and situational
awareness.
This research endeavoured to analyse the
issues and challenges faced by the Malaysian
Armed Forces (MAF) in force modernization.
MAF’s existing strategic plan and capability
planning approaches was assessed initially.
This was followed by validating capabilities-
based approaches employed by other modern
defence forces. Challenges and issues for MAF
in adopting a similar approach are discussed.
It was concluded that chief among these
challenges was invigorating greater leadership
in defence planning. Subsequently, the national
security and defence policies must be aligned
to provide clearer direction for the military
strategy. Other challenges include the need to
break old mind-sets vis-à-vis service rivalry. In a
resource constrained environment, MAF’s force
development has to be addressed through a
more methodological approach in the form of
CBP. Insights and best practices from around
the world have to be adopted to avoid the
debilitating pitfalls and obstacles.
