Experimental Determination of the Capacity of Wall-to-Base Connections in Storage Tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gustavo Cortes, Eric Lattion

Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...

Approximation of Pattern Transformation Manifolds with Parametric Dictionaries

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural

The construction of low-dimensional models explaining high-dimensional signal observations provides concise and efficient data representations. In this paper, we focus on pattern transformation manifold models generated by in-plane geometric transformation ...

Seismic Behavior of Shell-to-Base Connections in Large Storage Tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gustavo Cortes

A study of non-anchored tanks found in Switzerland (Koller, 2003) revealed that the plastic rotation of the shell-to-bottom connection in four of the six tanks studied did not satisfy the 0.2 radians limit established by the Eurocode (Eurocode-8, 2005). Th ...

Flow-through immunomagnetic separation system for waterborne pathogen isolation and detection: Application to Giardia and Cryptosporidium cell isolation

Qasem Alramadan

Simultaneous sample washing and concentration of two waterborne pathogen samples were demonstrated using a rotational magnetic system under continuous flow conditions. The rotation of periodically arranged small permanent magnets close to a fluidic channel ...

Hydrogen Dynamics in Lightweight Tetrahydroborates

The high hydrogen content in complex hydrides such as M[AIH 4]x and M[BH4]x (M = Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca) stimulated many research activities to utilize them as hydrogen storage materials. An understanding of the dynamical properties on the molecular level is im ...

On The Stochastic Modeling Of Rigid Body Systems With Application To Polymer Dynamics

John Maddocks

The stochastic equations of motion for a system of interacting rigid bodies in a solvent are formulated and studied. Three-dimensional bodies of arbitrary shape, with arbitrary couplings between translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as arise in ...

The Effect of Plasma Profile Variation on the Stability of the n = 1 Internal Kink Mode in Rotating Tokamak Plasmas

Jonathan Graves

The sensitivity of the stability of the ideal n = 1 internal kink mode to variations in the plasma profiles is analysed both analytically and numerically in rotating tokamak plasmas. These stability analyses have been carried out including the centrifugal ...

Experimental Evidence of Momentum Transport Induced by an Up-Down Asymmetric Magnetic Equilibrium in Toroidal Plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Alessandro Bortolon, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Francesco Piras

The first experimental evidence of parallel momentum transport generated by the up-down asymmetry of a toroidal plasma is reported. The experiments, conducted in the Tokamak a` Configuration Variable, were motivated by the recent theoretical discovery of i ...

Optical tomography with digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Florian Charrière

Three-dimensional optical imaging by tomographic techniques is presented, especially with object rotation in a transmission configuration. In digital holographic microscopy, the complex field is measured, which permits either to study transparent objects w ...
