Modeling of rough contact interfaces with trapped compressive liquid pockets

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Parissasadat Alavi, Julie Richard, Loris Rocchi

Boundary and mixed lubrication are usually used to reduce friction in sheet metal form- ing. In the boundary lubrication regime load is mainly carried by contacting asperities. Therefore, the tribological problem can be solved in the dry case using a geome ...

The influence of the gas on the dynamics of cavitation bubbles

Davide Bernardo Preso

Cavitation bubbles, extensively investigated in fluid mechanics, present enduring challenges in hydraulic machinery, while holding considerable potential for practical applications in biomedicine and sonochemistry. Despite more than a century of research, ...

Fiber pumps for wearable fluidic systems

Herbert Shea, Michael James Henry Smith, Vito Cacucciolo

Incorporating pressurized fluidic circuits into textiles can enable muscular support, thermoregulation, and haptic feedback in a convenient wearable form factor. However, conventional rigid pumps, with their associated noise and vibration, are unsuitable f ...

Research data supporting 'Fiber pumps for wearable fluidic systems'

Herbert Shea, Michael James Henry Smith, Vito Cacucciolo

The dataset supporting 'Fiber pumps for wearable fluidic systems', published in Science in March 2023. In this work, we present a fluidic pump in the form of a flexible and stretchable tube. These tubes - or 'fiber pumps' - can generate significant fluidic ...

Effect of the isotope mass on pedestal structure, transport and stability in D, D/T and T plasmas at similar β N and gas rate in JET-ILW type I ELMy H-modes

Benoît Labit, Haomin Sun, Nicola Vianello, Adriano Stagni

The work describes the pedestal structure, transport and stability in an effective mass (Aeff) scan from pure deuterium to pure tritium plasmas using a type I ELMy H-mode dataset in which key parameters that affect the pedestal behaviour (normalized pressu ...

Buoyant Hydraulic Fractures: How they Emerge, Grow, and get Arrested

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash

Most anthropogenic applications of hydraulic fracturing treatments are performed in sedimentary basins. In these geological formations, the minimum compressive stress is usually horizontal and increases with depth. As a result, hydraulic fractures grow alo ...

Measurement and modelling of dynamic fluid saturation in carbon reinforcements

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros, Guillaume Clément Broggi

We propose a methodology to monitor the progressive saturation of a non-translucent unidirectional carbon fabric stack through its thickness by means of X-ray radiography and extract the dynamic saturation curves using image analysis. Four constant flow ra ...

System for automated and dynamic cell culture

Julia Tischler

The present relates to a system for automated cell culture, the system comprising an inflow module, a cell culture plate and an outflow module, said inflow module being in fluid connection with the outflow module via the cell culture plate, the inflow modu ...

Influence of the shear stress on fine sediment exchanges with the substrate using UVP measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis

The dynamic of fine sediment in rivers is closely related to the interactions between fine particles, the riverbed and the flow conditions. The accumulation of fine sediment in the riverbed reduces vertical water exchanges and can have detrimental effects ...

Improving the Accuracy of Fracture Toughness Measurement in Burst Experiments

Guanyi Lu, Yixuan Zhang

Experimental studies suggest that the fracture toughness of rocks increases with the confining pressure. Among many methods to quantify this dependency, a so-called burst experiment (Abou-Sayed, 1978) may be the most widely applied in practice. Its thick w ...
