Predictive Models for Thermal Behavior of Chemicals with Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships

Thierry Meyer, Annik Nanchen, Francis Stoessel, Nadia Baati

Most processes in the chemical industry involve potentially hazardous steps. It is thus of critical importance to perform risk assessments and to know the thermal behavior of the chemicals at stake. A widely used thermal analysis, differential scanning cal ...

Investigation of resins suitable for the preparation of biological sample for 3-D electron microscopy

Giovanni Longo

In the last two decades, the third-dimension has become a focus of attention in electron microscopy to better understand the interactions within subcellular compartments. Initially, transmission electron tomography (TEM tomography) was introduced to image ...

Electrical Property of Platinum Micro Heater for Thermal Analysis of Microfluidic Device

Jürgen Brugger, Filiz Yesilköy

This paper shows thermal measurement and analysis of a microfluidic device integrated with local thin film heater. Thermal analysis was calculated by finite element modeling. Electrical property of the micro heater was calibrated in advance of the thermal ...

TaSiN nanocomposite thin films: Correlation between structure, chemical composition, and physical properties

Rosendo Sanjines, David Oezer

The structural and electronic properties of fcc-TaN/SiNx nanocomposite thin films deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering have been investigated as function of the N and Si contents. Our studies have been mainly focused on three different types of nanoc ...

How simple can nonlinear finite element modelling be for structural concrete?

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Galina Argirova

This paper discusses on the required level of simplicity for suitable modelling of structural concrete. Traditional equilibrium-based approaches (as strut-and-tie models) are too coarse in some cases, as they account for the cracking state of concrete in a ...

Experimental Study of Non-Ideal Phenomena Affecting Magneto-Rheological Elastomers Piezoresistivity

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

Magneto-Rheological Elastomers (MREs) represent emerging composite materials consisting of small magnetic particles dispersed in a highly elastic polymeric matrix. Particles interactions with external fields (magnetic and electric) and external stresses re ...

Bingham-Papanastasiou and Approximate Parallel Models Comparison for the Design of Magneto-Rheological Valves

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

Magneto-Rheological Fluids (MRFs) are smart materials whose physical properties can be controlled by an exciting magnetic field. MRFs are described as Bingham plastics with variable magnetic field dependent yield stress. Thanks to their particular features ...

Hydromechanical coupling in CO2 geological injection processes

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

CO2 storage in deep aquifers is considered as a potential technology to reduce the greenhouse effects of CO2. Practically, a large-volume (>1 Mt/year) of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host aquifer covered by a low-per ...

Learning of Grasp Adaptation through Experience and Tactile Sensing

Aude Billard, Miao Li

To perform robust grasping, a multi-fingered robotic hand should be able to adapt its grasping configuration, i.e., how the object is grasped, to maintain the stability of the grasp. Such a change of grasp configuration is called grasp adaptation and it de ...
