HS DIC-system application for strain and displacement measurements under static-dynamic coupling loading

To study the deformation and fracture of sandstone under static-dynamic coupled load, a cylindrical specimen under pre-static axial and confining pressure was dynamically loaded using an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Through the application ...

Flow separation at the inner (convex) and outer (concave) banks of constant-width and widening open-channel bends

Koen Blanckaert

There is a paucity of data and insight in the mechanisms of, and controls on flow separation and recirculation at natural sharply-curved river bends. Herein we report on successful laboratory experiments that elucidate flow structure in one constant-width ...

The application of graphene as a sample support in transmission electron microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Radosav Svetozara Pantelic

Transmission electron microscopy has witnessed rampant development and surging point resolution over the past few years. The improved imaging performance of modern electron microscopes shifts the bottleneck for image contrast and resolution to sample prepa ...

Rock burst and slabbing failure and its influence on TBM excavation at headrace tunnels in Jinping II hydropower station

Jian Zhao, Lijun Yin

Two headrace tunnels and the drainage tunnel were excavated by tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in Jinping II Hydropower Station. During TBM excavation, two types of slabbing failure were encountered in these deep buried marble tunnels. One is rock bursting a ...

Ionic liquids as matrices in microfluidic sample deposition for high-mass matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Sample preparation for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) via a microfluidic deposition device using ionic liquid matrices addresses several problems of standard protocols with crystalline matrices, such as the heterog ...

Miniature active damping stage for scanning probe applications in ultra high vacuum

Klaus Kern, Maximilian Assig, Carola Strasser

Scanning probe microscope (SPM) experiments demand a low vibration level to minimize the external influence on the measured signal. We present a miniature six-degree of freedom active damping stage based on a Gough-Stewart platform (hexapod) which is posit ...

Fabrication of soft gold microelectrode arrays as probes for scanning electrochemical microscopy

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Gunther Wittstock

Soft linear gold microelectrode arrays for high throughput scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) imaging were fabricated using the Aerosol Jet (R) printing technology. Nanoparticulate gold ink was printed on polyimide Kapton HN (R) thin films. After s ...

Highly transparent ZnO bilayers by LP-MOCVD as front electrodes for thin-film micromorph silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Sylvain Nicolay, Grégory Bugnon, Laura Ding, Mustapha Benkhaira

ZnO bilayer films were deposited by a low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique in a single process step, by doping with boron only the nucleation stage of the growth. The resulting 2 pm thick layers are characterized by low free carrie ...

Is Uniqueness Lost for Under-Sampled Continuous-Time Auto-Regressive Processes?

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward, Hagay Kirshner

We consider the problem of sampling continuous-time auto-regressive processes on a uniform grid. We investigate whether a given sampled process originates from a single continuous-time model, and address this uniqueness problem by introducing an alternativ ...

The results of the second Chinese TF conductor sample

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Bo Liu

In the framework of the ITER qualification tests the second Chinese sample (CNTF2) was tested in the SULTAN facility. The sample was made of two identical ITER TF type cable-in-conduit conductor sections. Internal Sn strands offered by Western Superconduct ...
