Progress in modelling solidification microstructures in metals and alloys: dendrites and cells from 1700 to 2000

Wilfried Kurz

This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...

From experimental evidence to mechanical modeling and design expressions: The Critical Shear Crack Theory for shear design

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Many research efforts have so far been devoted to the topic of shear design of members without transverse reinforcement since the first development in structural concrete. This has allowed a number of significant advances in the understanding of the phenom ...

Identification of Train Wheel Flat Accounting for Measurement and Modeling Uncertainties

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola

In railway systems, wear-induced wheel flats (out-of-roundness wheel shape) are among the most common local surface defects. They reduce the train ride comfort, increase fatigue risk and raise safety concerns. A good knowledge of wheel flats (presence and ...

Bridging Multilevel Time Scales in HRI

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Kshitij Sharma

In this article, we present a multi-level time scales framework for the analysis of human-robot interaction (HRI). Such a framework allows HRI scientists to model the inter-relation between measures and factors of an experiment. Our final goal with the int ...

Teaching measurement techniques in biomechanics through inquiry-based labs

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Siara Ruth Isaac, Cécile Hardebolle, Oriane Poupart

Inquiry-based labs seek to engage students in an authentic process of scientific inquiry, where students pose and invest scientific questions. The effect of inquiry-based labs has consistently been found to be positive [1]. In addition, the results of Furt ...

The Search for Affordable Cement and Concrete in the 18th and 19th Century

Salvatore Aprea

The interest of German building masters towards hydraulic binders grows at the third decade of the 19th century. This acute interest is stimulated by the import of «Roman Cement» from England and by the acquisition of the knowledge related to it. The disse ...
