Transverse Noise, Decoherence, and Landau Damping in High-Energy Hadron Colliders

High-energy hadron colliders are designed to generate particle collisions within specialized detectors. A higher number of collisions is achieved with high-quality beams of low transverse emittances, meaning a small transverse cross-section, and high inten ...

Crack propagation speeds in weak snowpack layers

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Jürg Schweizer, Bertil Trottet, Grégoire Bobillier, Alec van Herwijnen

For the release of a slab avalanche, crack propagation within a weak snowpack layer below a cohesive snow slab is required. As crack speed measurements can give insight into underlying processes, we analysed three crack propagation events that occurred in ...

Long-term evolution of Landau damping in the presence of transverse noise, feedback, and detuning

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

The effect of Landau damping is often calculated assuming a Gaussian beam distribution in all transverse degrees of freedom, which agrees reasonably well with beam measurements. However, the stability of the beam is strongly dependent on the details of the ...

Experiments and numerical modelling on angle-ply laminates under remote mode II loading

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas, Charlie Joseph Simon Blondeau

Delamination is a very frequent damage mechanism that affects the integrity of laminated composites. In this study, the effect of ply orientation on crack growth resistance was analyzed for three different anti-symmetric interfaces (+/- 30 degrees, +/- 45 ...

Acoustic Supercoupling in a Zero-Compressibility Waveguide

Funneling acoustic waves through largely mismatched channels is of fundamental importance to tailor and transmit sound for a variety of applications. In electromagnetics, zero-permittivity metamaterials have been used to enhance the coupling of energy in a ...

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin approximation to ordinary differential equations with applications to elastodynamics

Alfio Quarteroni, Niccolò Dal Santo

The aim of this work is to propose and analyse a new high-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the time integration of a Cauchy problem for second-order ordinary differential equations. These equations typically arise after space semidisc ...

Steel-Concrete Connections by Adhesion, Interlocking, and Friction for Composite Bridges under Cyclic Loading

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

This paper deals with of a new type of steel-concrete connection for composite beams. The connection is an alternative solution for steel-concrete composite bridges suitable for prefabrication and fast erection. The composite action of the beam is establis ...

Back-Contacted Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Andrea Tomasi

Wood/timber has been widely used for house and bridge construction. It is a widely available natural material that necessitates low energy for the production, following simple processes. The environmentally friendliness, together with the low cost of raw m ...

Experimental characterization of longitudinal mechanical properties of clear timber: Random spatial variability and size effects

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Alireza Farajzadeh Moshtaghin, Steffen Franke

In this study, an experimental campaign was conducted to characterize the length effect on the elasticity and tensile strength of clear spruce wood parallel to the grain direction. Four groups of specimens of different lengths, cut from the same log, were ...
