An Inertial Uni-Axial Interferometer-Based Accelerometer for Harsh Environments

Mark Edward John Butcher, Gerard Aliana Cervera

For high-impact devices, subsequent vibrations have as much influence on the deterioration of the mechanical structure as the impact itself. To mitigate the consequences of both impacts and resulting vibrations, it is crucial to accurately understand the p ...

Cavitation induction by projectile impacting on a water jet

Mohamed Farhat

The present paper focuses on the simulation of the high-velocity impact of a projectile impacting on a water-jet, causing the onset, development and collapse of cavitation. The simulation of the fluid motion is carried out using an explicit, compressible, ...

Vibration tests on interconnected timber elements using wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet

Vibration tests were performed on 3 large-scale timber slabs using wood-wood connections with a span of 8.1 meters. 10 impulsive vibration tests per specimen were performed to estimate the initial natural frequency. Vibrations were triggered using a hammer ...

Numerical simulation of two-dimensional crack propagation

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Aida Cameselle Molares

A numerical investigation was carried out to simulate the experimental results previously obtained concerning two-dimensional in-plane crack propagation in laminated glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates. The plates were designed with an embedded ci ...

Rebounds of deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Outi Supponen

Presented here are experiments clarifying how the deformation of cavitation bubbles affects their rebound. Rebound bubbles carry the remaining energy of a bubble following its initial collapse, which dissipates energy mainly through shock waves, jets, and ...

Shock waves from nonspherical cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Outi Supponen, Marc Tinguely

We present detailed observations of the shock waves emitted at the collapse of single cavitation bubbles using simultaneous time-resolved shadowgraphy and hydrophone pressure measurements. The geometry of the bubbles is systematically varied from spherical ...

Experimental Investigation of the Dynamic Performances of a Miniature Soft Magneto-Rheological Shock Absorber

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

In the proposed work, the dynamic performances of a miniature soft Magneto-Rheological (MR) shock absorber are analyzed. The final application for which the damper has been designed and in which it will be embedded is a variable stiffness insole for patien ...

The Euro Interbank Repo Market

Loriano Mancini, Angelo Ranaldo

The search for a market design that ensures stable bank funding is at the top of regulators' policy agenda. This paper empirically shows that the central counterparty (CCP)-based euro interbank repo market features this stability. Using a unique and compre ...
