Fabrication, Characterization, and Simulation of Glass Devices with AlN Thin-Film Transducers for Excitation of Ultrasound Resonances

Paul Muralt, Ramin Matloub Aghdam

We present the fabrication of 570-mu m-thick millimeter-sized soda-lime-silicate float-glass blocks with a 1-mu m-thick AlN thin-film piezoelectric transducer sandwiched between thin metallic electrodes and deposited on the top surface. The electromechanic ...

Jean-André Deluc's Traveling Barometer

Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu, Simon François Dumas Primbault

In the second half of the 18th century, Jean-André Deluc painstakingly designed a portable barometer which could accurately determine the heights of mountains by measuring the weight of atmospheric air. While the principle behind the instrument was straigh ...

Post-tensioning of glass beams: Analytical determination of the allowable pre-load

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will in service be exposed to tensile stresses induced by bending. Maximum pre ...

Towards novel glazing with seasonal dynamics based on micro compound parabolic concentrators

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Jing Gong

Thermal loss and overheating caused by glazing is a key issue in reducing CO2 emission and energy consumption of buildings. A novel glazing based on micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) is proposed. The glazing consists of a polymer layer with emb ...

Non-contact femtosecond laser-based methods for investigating glass mechanics at small scales

Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity. In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...

Feasibility study on a novel daylighting system with embedded micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs)

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Jing Gong

A novel glazing system consisting of a polymer layer with embedded micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs), which is attached to a glass pane of glazing, is proposed. It aims to reduce the energy consumption due to cooling in buildings, provide dayli ...

Laminated connections for structural glass components: a full-scale experimental study

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The use of glass material for structural components has drastically increased in the last decade. Among others, a laminated connection is a type of adhesive joint that makes use of foil interlayer adhesive to transfer forces between glass and metal parts. ...
