The promotion of tubular structures in bridge construction is a meaningful goal since these are aesthetic, lead to structurally efficient systems as well as sustainable ones. Good fatigue design of the tubular superstructure is a key factor to ensure safet ...
We consider the problem of optimizing a novel acoustic leakage detection system for urban water distribution networks. The system is composed of a number of detectors and transponders to be placed in a choice of hydrants such as to provide a desired covera ...
Previous investigations on mammalian cells have shown that microgravity, either that experienced in space, or simulated on earth, causes severe cellular modifications that compromise tissue determination and function. The aim of this study is to investigat ...
Significant progress has been achieved in the international research effort on reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels for fusion structural applications. Because this class of steels is the leading structural material for test blankets in ITER and ...
Phase-contrast imaging at laboratory-based x-ray sources using grating interferometers has been developed over the last few years for x-ray energies of up to 28 keV. Here, we show first phase-contrast projection and tomographic images recorded at significa ...
It is now widely acknowledged, among communities of researchers and engineers of very different horizons, that speckle interferometry (SI) offers powerful techniques to characterize mechanical rough surfaces with a submicronic accuracy in static or quasi-s ...
Electromagnetic techniques present definite advantages for Non Destructive Testing such as no need for surface couplant, potential for miniaturization, and fast scanning rates. They suffer, however, from a lack of reliability when crack sizing capabilities ...
The in-plane component of the wavefield provides valuable information about media properties from seismology to nondestructive testing. A new compact scanning laser ultrasonic interferometer collects light scattered away from the angle of incidence to prov ...
Micromechanics is a booming research area experiencing the development of new advanced testing methods at small dimensions A relatively young but very popular technique involves uniaxial compressing micrometer and sub-micrometer sized objects, usually in t ...
