Design method for roundwood construction using database of trees

Yves Weinand, Damien Lambert Alain Félicien Gilliard

In today's shift from steel and concrete construction toward bio-based materials such as timber, reliance on forests for construction materials is growing. However, concerns are rising regarding the type and amount of wood our forests will produce in the f ...

Full-Scale Tests to Characterize the Effect of Framing Action and Slab Continuity on the Collapse Capacity of Composite Frames Under Cyclic Loading

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

This paper presents an experimental study that examined the role of the slab continuity and framing action on the overall hysteretic behavior of a composite-steel moment resisting frame (MRF) up until incipient collapse using advanced instrumentation. The ...

Complexity of crack front geometry enhances toughness of brittle solids

John Martin Kolinski, Chenzhuo Li, Xinyue Wei

Brittle solids typically fail by growth and propagation of a crack from a surface flaw. This process is modelled using linear elastic fracture mechanics, which parameterizes the toughness of a material by the critical stress intensity factor, or the prefac ...

Gravity-driven coatings on curved substrates: a differential geometry approach

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda

Drainage and spreading processes in thin liquid films have received considerable attention in the past decades. Yet, our understanding of three-dimensional cases remains sparse, with only a few studies focusing on flat and axisymmetric substrates. Here, we ...

Leidenfrost flows: instabilities and symmetry breakings

François Gallaire

Leidenfrost drops were recently found to host strong dynamics. In the present study, we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the flow structures and stability inside a Leidenfrost water drop as it evaporates, starting with a large puddle. As r ...

Film thickness distribution in gravity-driven pancake-shaped droplets rising in a Hele-Shaw cell

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Lailai Zhu, Isha Shukla, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

We study here experimentally, numerically and using a lubrication approach, the shape, velocity and lubrication film thickness distribution of a droplet rising in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell. The droplet is surrounded by a stationary immiscible fluid and mov ...
