Unified formulation for Reissner-Mindlin plates: a comparison with numerical results

Analytical solutions to problems of solids mechanics are useful to test the accuracy and the precision of the numerical approaches. Problems such as shear locking or boundary layer can be better understood with the help of analytical solutions. However, it ...

Dynamic amplification of traffic loads on road bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Hannes Ludescher

Today all major standards implicitly or explicitly include an “impact factor”, “dynamic amplification factor” (DAF) or “dynamic load allowance”. The amount of dynamic traffic action represented by the factor varies considerably [6, 7]. The values are usual ...

Structural behavior of multifunctional GFRP joints for concrete structures

Thomas Keller, Florian Riebel

A multifunctional all-FRP joint has been developed for the transfer of bending moments and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab structures used in building construction. Tensile forces from moments are transferred by horizontal GFRP ...

Hydrodynamic Damping Identification from an Impulse Response of a Vibrating Blade

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Steven Roth, Martin Calmon

In the present study, the identification of hydrodynamic damping is investigated in the case of 2D blade placed in the test section of the EPFL High Speed Cavitation Tunnel. A non intrusive technique, based on a spark generated bubble, is used to generate ...

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Didier Bouvet, Kirsten Emilie Moselund

The local bending of a silicon nanowire induces tensile strain in the wire due to the stretching of the silicon lattice. This in turn enhances the mobility of the free carriers (electrons) in the direction of transport along the wire. Thus, for example, wh ...

Numerical-experimental identification of the elastic and damping properties in composite plates

Thomas Gmür, Alain Schorderet, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

A novel method is presented for estimating the elastic and dissipative parameters of composite plates and shells through a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure based on the natural frequencies, modal damping factors and mode shapes of the ...

Hybrid glass mat reinforced polypropylene-montmorillonite nanocomposites

Véronique Michaud, John Christopher Plummer, Sara Dalle Vacche, Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

Although addition of montmorillonite (MMT) clay to isotactic polypropylene (iPP) results in large increases in the melt viscosity at low shear rates, satisfactory impregnation of glass mats is obtained with iPP/MMT under conditions typical of industrial pr ...

Shear resistance of lightweight concrete core of FRP-concrete sandwich structure

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Erika Schaumann

This paper presents a model to predict the shear resistance of the unreinforced lightweight concrete core of a recently developed hybrid sandwich concept for bridge decks. The sandwich skins consist of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheet for t ...

The Matricellular Protein Periostin Is Required for Sost Inhibition and the Anabolic Response to Mechanical Loading and Physical Activity

Vincent Stadelmann

Periostin (gene Postn) is a secreted extracellular matrix protein involved in cell recruitment and adhesion and plays an important role in odontogenesis. In bone, periostin is preferentially expressed in the periosteum, but its functional significance rema ...

Structural implications of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete in bridge design

Ana Spasojevic

The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
