A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mario Paolone, Reza Razzaghi, Zhaoyang Wang

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...

Fundamental Applications of Nanopores: Controlled DNA Translocations to Nanofluidics

Sebastian James Davis

Nanopores are nanometer sized openings that are the connection between two electrolyte filled reservoirs. The measurement of the ion transport flowing through such a pore allows to probe physically or biologically interesting phenomena. These range from th ...

The Upper Bound of the Speed of Propagation of Waves along a Transmission Line

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...

Anisotropic behaviour of shallow opalinus clay

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay shale, the selected host geomaterial of a high-level radioactive waste repository in Switzerland, was sourced at shallow depth in a borehole in the northern part of the country. Pairs of specimens, retrieved from the same depth were prepared ...

Nonlinear electrical conductivity through the thickness of multidirectional carbon fiber composites

Marcos Rubinstein, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Xi Chen

Lightning strikes pose a serious natural threat to carbon fiber-reinforced poly- mers (CFRPs). Knowledge of the electrical current distribution is essential for modeling the interaction between CFRP with lightning. In most applications, the anisotropy of C ...

Reduced scale model testing for prediction of eigenfrequencies and hydro-acoustic resonances in hydropower plants operating in off-design conditions

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Christian Landry, Sébastien Alligné, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

The massive penetration of the electrical network by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, pushes the operators to extend hydropower plant units operating range to meet the transmission system operator requirements. However, in off-design opera ...

Potential erosion capacity of gravity currents created by changing initial conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

We investigate to what extent the initial conditions (in terms of buoyancy and geometry) of saline gravity currents flowing over a horizontal bottom influence their runout and entrainment capacity. In particular, to what extent the effect of the introducti ...
