Study on the possibility of Φ-OTDR sensing in hollow-core fibres

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Yuting Yang

The backscattering process in hollow core fibres shows a large similarity with Rayleigh scattering, offering the potential to be exploited for distributed sensing. A classical Φ-OTDR implementation is used to observe the backscattering signal from the surf ...

A life cycle analysis of novel lightweight composite processes: Reducing the environmental footprint of automotive structures

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Vincent Werlen, Christian Rytka, Colin Gomez

In this study, three novel thermoplastic impregnation processes were analyzed towards automotive applications. The first process is thermoplastic compression resin transfer molding in which a glass fiber mat is impregnated in through thickness by a thermop ...

Fiber Buckling in Confined Viscous Flows: An Absolute Instability Described by the Linear Ginzburg-Landau Equation

François Gallaire, Jean Cappello

We explore the dynamics of a flexible fiber transported by a viscous flow in a Hele-Shaw cell of height comparable to the fiber height. We show that long fibers aligned with the flow experience a buckling instability. Competition between viscous and elasti ...

Characterization of the Radiation Resistance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics for Superconducting Magnets

Sandra Sequeira Lopes Tavares

The overall performance of accelerator magnets strongly relies on electrical and mechanical robustness of their components. With an increase of the energy, future particle accelerators will have to withstand integral doses of ionizing radiation of up to se ...

Capillary Effects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Processing: A Review

Véronique Michaud, Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Capillarity plays a crucial role in many natural and engineered systems, ranging from nutrient delivery in plants to functional textiles for wear comfort or thermal heat pipes for heat dissipation. Unlike nano- or microfluidic systems with well-defined por ...

A Novel Method to Quantify Self-Healing Capabilities of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Robin Samuel Trigueira, Cecilia Scazzoli

The present work investigates a novel and practical method to evaluate the healing efficiency of carbon-reinforced polymer composites. The method should be representative of damage occurring during the lifetime of a composite part, should tend to damage th ...

Singularities of general fibers and the LMMP

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We use the theory of foliations to study the relative canonical divisor of a normalized inseparable base-change. Our main technical theorem states that it is linearly equivalent to a divisor with positive integer coefficients divisible by p - 1. We deduce ...

Polyethylene wear of dual mobility cups: a comparative analysis based on patient-specific finite element modeling

Alexandre Terrier, Ehsan Sarshari, Matthieu Boubat

Purpose Concerns remain about potential increased wear with dual mobility cups related to the multiple articulations involved in this specific design of implant. This finite element analysis study aimed to compare polyethylene (PE) wear between dual mobili ...

Computed Three-Dimensional Atomic Force Microscopy Images of Biopolymers Using the Jarzynski Equality

Marcos Penedo Garcia

Three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM) has resolved three-dimensional distributions of solvent molecules at solid-liquid interfaces at the subnanometer scale. This method is now being extended to the imaging of biopolymer assemblies such as chr ...
