Progress on Tests on Splices Between Nb3Sn Rutherford Cables for Graded High-Field Accelerator Magnets

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Xabier Sarasola Martin, Vincenzo D'Auria, Mithlesh Kumar

Future high-field accelerator magnets foresee the extensive use of Nb3Sn, more expensive than the Nb-Ti of LHC. For projects involving the series production of magnets, conductor grading is mandatory in order to reduce the cost. To allow grading ...

Acoustic emission and ultrasonic testing for fatigue damage detection in a RC bridge deck slab

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

There is a significant need to examine precisely the conditions of concrete road bridges because of the increasing traffic and axle loads and the fact that most existing bridges were not designed with respect to fatigue. In-situ investigations are challeng ...

Modeling of Reconfigurable Medical Ultrasonic Applications in BIP

Alena Simalatsar, Stefanos Skalistis

Medical ultrasonic imaging applications require high quality of images produced in real-time often with limited resources available. Deadlock-freedom and confluency must be guaranteed to ensure the correctness of the applications, while feasibility and opt ...

Robust Array Calibration Using Time Delays with Application to Ultrasound Tomography

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ivana Jovanovic

Accurate calibration is a requirement of many array signal processing techniques. We investigate the calibration of a transducer array using time delays. We derive a strategy based on the mean square error criterion and discuss how time delays that are not ...

An Integrated Probe for Electromagnetic NDT Inspection

Pavel Kejik

Electromagnetic techniques present definite advantages for Non Destructive Testing such as no need for surface couplant, potential for miniaturization, and fast scanning rates. They suffer, however, from a lack of reliability when crack sizing capabilities ...
