Reconfigurable Drone System for Transportation of Parcels With Variable Mass and Size

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Leonardo Cencetti

Cargo drones are designed to carry payloads with predefined shape, size, and/or mass. This lack of flexibility requires a fleet of diverse drones tailored to specific cargo dimensions. Here we propose a new reconfigurable drone based on a modular design th ...

Creep/fatigue/relaxation of angle-ply GFRP composite laminates

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used in engineering structures of several domains, such as wind energy, bridges, and automotive industry. Usually such material systems include polymeric matrices and exhibit behavior that is sensitive to the l ...

Quasi-static shear-compression tests on stone masonry walls with plaster: Influence of load history and axial load ratio

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Shenghan Zhang, Michele Godio

This paper describes quasi-static cyclic shear-compression tests on six plastered single-leaf stone masonry walls. Of the six walls, four are tested under different axial load ratios, performing a cyclic load history with two cycles per increasing drift de ...

Comparison of the two point bending and four point bending test methods for aged asphalt concrete field samples

André-Gilles Dumont, Michel Pittet, Manfred Partl

Complex modulus and fatigue behavior are important characteristics for all materials. Some European countries have developed performance oriented requirements for bituminous mixtures. Using such requirements it is expected that the life of pavements can be ...

Strong Interplay between the Electron Spin Lifetime in Chemically Synthesized Graphene Multilayers and Surface-Bound Oxygen

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi

The electron spin lifetime in an assembly of chemically synthesized graphene sheets was found to be extremely sensitive to oxygen. Introducing small concentrations of physisorbed O-2 onto the graphene surface reduced the exceptionally long 140 ns electron ...

Numerical model of the ankle joint for the study of total ankle replacement

Younouss Faye

Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a successful short-term procedure but after ten years the implants have low survival rates involving numerous complications. Today the mechanism that leads to the failure of TAR remains unclear. Therefore there is a need a ...

Prospects for logic-on-a-wire

Giovanni De Micheli, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, David Atienza Alonso, Didier Bouvet, Kirsten Emilie Moselund, Yusuf Leblebici, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa

In this paper we present the top-down fabrication of gate-all-around (GAA) and body-tied @W-gate devices by a combination of etching and oxidation steps resulting in a local silicon-on-insulator structure. The GAA has advantages in terms of enhanced curren ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Biofibres Replacing Glass Fibres as Reinforcement in Plastics

Yves Leterrier

This article aims to determine the environmental performance of China reed fibre used as a substitute for glass fibre as reinforcement in plastics and to identify key environmental parameters. A life cycle assessment (LCA) is performed on these two materia ...
