Ultra-thick micro-optical components using the PRISM photosensitive flexopolymer

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Abdeljalil Sayah, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...

Comportement structural des bétons de fibres ultra performants en traction dans des éléments composés

John Wuest

Ultra high performance concretes (UHPFRC) are characterized by a dense matrix and a high fibre content. These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and durability properties making them an ideal material for rehabilitating existing structures. The prima ...

Two-phase modelling of hot tearing in aluminium alloys using a semi-coupled method

Vincent Mathier

Hot tearing is one of the most severe defects observed in castings, e.g. in billets or sheet ingots of aluminum alloys produced by DC casting. It is due to both tensile strains and a lack of interdendritic feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict thi ...
