The safety improvement of nuclear reactors requires continuous efforts in understanding the fundamental physical quantities related to the fission process. In neutronic models, the reactor dynamics is covered by the kinetic parameters to characterize the t ...
Motivated by the widespread use of large gridded data sets in the atmospheric sciences, we propose a new model for extremes of areal data that is inspired by the simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) model in classical spatial statistics. Our extreme SAR model ...

In this work, we consider the stability of a spherical shell under combined loading from a uniform external pressure and a homogenous natural curvature. Nonmechanical stimuli, such as one that tends to modify the rest curvature of an elastic body, are prev ...

Improving the quality factor (Q) of electromechanical resonators is of paramount importance for different applications, ranging from RF filtering to sensing. In this paper, we present a modified fabrication process flow for contour mode resonators to simul ...

In the inter-war period, progressive architects confronted the building of mass housing with an analogy with rational and functional workplaces. At the 2nd CIAM (Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne), held in Frankfurt in 1929, this was tested aga ...
In the present work, an analytical solution is presented for the scattering of transverse surface waves by a homogeneous piezoelectric fiber contained in a functionally graded piezoelectric half-space with exponential variation. The boundary value problem ...
An Electroacoustic Resonator consists of a loudspeaker used as a membrane resonator, through anacoustic pressure-based controlled electrical current, in order to vary its vibrating velocity in re-sponse to an exogenous sound field. This way, the loudspeake ...
Impedance analyzers are essential equipment's for any engineer working in the domain of electrical circuits. The impedance of a circuit is determined by exciting this later with a sine voltage over a frequency span and by observing the current consequently ...
We will discuss our recent experimental progress on developing active acoustic resonators that provide in- dependently tunable acoustic properties, namely the possibility to control at will their resonance frequency, absorption losses, and radiative losses ...
This paper investigates the phenomenon of cover spalling in reinforced concrete induced by bond or by the action of an inner pressure. This research is based on an experimental programme comprising a series of bond tests and a series of tests with inner-pr ...
