Fano resonances in metamaterials can be explained by the coupling between different modes sustained by the meta-atom. While the associated spectral features are usually quite easy to identify for top-down metamaterials, thanks to the deterministic arrangem ...
Offshore lighthouses are a remarkable historical heritage often over 100 years old. The management of their ageing is a challenge and requires a thorough understanding of their structural response under wave loading. With this aim in view, the dynamic resp ...
This paper presents design and characterization of a new type of structural joint which can vary its stiffness through actuation. Stiffness variation is employed to control the dynamic response of frame structures equipped with such joints. The joint is ma ...
Infrastructure (asset) risk management is essential for a resilient environment. Several industries are concerned to improve their building asset preparedness subject to seismic hazard. To this end, the development of software tools that quantify and asses ...
A single-hole probe was designed to measure steady and periodic flows with high fluctuation amplitudes and with minimal flow intrusion. Because of its high aspect ratio, estimations showed that the probe resonates at a frequency two orders of magnitude low ...
This article presents a Siren Disk proof of concept for the dynamic excitation of pressure probes, and a method to reconstruct distorted signals due to pneumatic channels. Constraints in sensor installation require placing a pressure transducer distant fro ...
