Thermal stress analysis of energy piles

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

This study is concerned with the problem of energy piles subjected to constant axial load and temperature variation uniform over the cross-section. In the first part of this article, equations for the analysis of energy piles based on elastic theory and th ...

Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

Taming the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We present a simple open-loop method to suppress the viscoelastic drift of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Viscoelastic creep is one of the drawbacks of DEAs, especially when made with acrylic elastomer membranes (VHB). This leads to a time-dependen ...

Impacting factors and properties of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, François Henri Avet, Julien Ston, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Hamed Maraghechi, Wilasinee Hanpongpun

This paper details the main factors influencing the performance of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3). The kaolinite content plays a major role in the rheological properties as well as strength development. Even in the presence of secondary phases, kaol ...

An open-loop control scheme to increase the speed and reduce the viscoelastic drift of dielectric elastomer actuators

Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We present a simple open-loop method to increase the response speed and suppress the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators. The parameters of the model can be extracted from two simple measurements: a strain vs. voltage ramp, and the strain ...

Durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded GFRP adherends under hygrothermal and natural ageing

Thomas Keller

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study about the durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) adherends for civil engineering applications. Single lap joint (SLJ) specimens were manufacture ...

Multi-DoF Force Characterization of Soft Actuators

Jamie Paik, Sagar Dattatray Joshi

Soft actuators provide highly adaptable actuator options for applications in wearable devices, grippers and mobile robots due to their inherent compliance. However, this compliance causes soft actuators to have virtually infinite degrees of freedom (DoF) o ...

Scanning Probe-Directed Assembly and Rapid Chemical Writing Using Nanoscopic Flow of Phospholipids

Vytautas Navikas

Nanofluidic systems offer a huge potential for discovery of new molecular transport and chemical phenomena that can be employed for future technologies. Herein, we report on the transport behavior of surface-reactive compounds in a nanometer-scale flow of ...

Raspberry-Pi based system for propofol monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Francesca Stradolini, Tugba Kilic, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

Induction of anesthesia with propofol is a largely adopted technique in hospital environments. The correct dosage of this compound is essential to avoid under- or over-anesthesia that may result in serious side-effects. Therefore, in clinical settings, lon ...

The double-edge effect of second-phase particles on the recrystallization behaviour and associated mechanical properties of metallic materials

Roland Logé, Ke Huang

Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product, during which recrystallization and its related phenomena may take place. Seco ...
