A probabilistic approach for assessing discontinuities in structural steel components based on Charpy-V-notch tests

Available acceptance and rejection criteria for discontinuities in steel components of a welded assembly focus only on a minimum limit for the steel fracture toughness and a maximum limit for the size of the discontinuity. However, other critical parameter ...

Impact properties of shear thickening fluid impregnated foams

Véronique Michaud, Mathieu Soutrenon

Concentrated colloidal suspensions of silica particles in polyethylene glycol exhibit a shear thickening behavior: above a critical shear rate in a confined environment, they show a steep increase of viscosity. This reversible transition from a low to a hi ...

Methodology for Developing Real-time Motorway Traffic Risk Identification Models Using Individual Vehicle Data

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham

Most of existing motorway traffic safety studies using disaggregate traffic flow data aim at developing models for identifying real-time traffic risks by comparing pre-crash and non-crash conditions. One of serious shortcomings in those studies is that non ...

Motorway Traffic Risks Identification Model - MyTRIM Methodology and Application

Minh Hai Pham

Road traffic crashes are becoming increasing concerns in many countries. In Europe, many efforts have been devoted to improve road traffic safety yet the important target of halving the number of yearly road deaths in 2010 could not be achieved in many Eur ...

Risk indicators - Unsafe traffic conditions

Edward Chung, Minh Hai Pham

This study proposes a framework for developing a pro-active system aiming at reducing motorway crash risk based on risk indicators. Although motorways are of safe road type by design, a crash if happens would be really severe. Reducing motorway crash risk ...

A combined neural network/gradient-based approach for the identification of constitutive model parameters using self-boring pressuremeter tests

Laurent Vulliet, Rafal Filip Obrzud

This paper presents a numerical procedure of material parameter identification for the coupled hydromechanical boundary value problem (BVP) of the self-boring pressuremeter test (SBPT) in clay. First, the neural network (NN) technique is applied to obtain ...

Sensitivity of road safety indicators in normal and crash cases

Edward Chung, Minh Hai Pham

Road traffic safety is receiving increasing attention. Different real-time safety indicators relying on traffic sensor data can be found in the literature. Some are based on the posterior analysis of crash and traffic data; while others are based on real t ...

Nanoparticle Based Tuberculosis Vaccine

Sai Reddy, Marie Ballester

Tuberculosis (TB) is a growing world health problem, especially in developing countries. The only available vaccine is the hundred years old Bacille de Calmette et Guérin (BCG). It has been shown to reduce infant mortality, but it is not an effective metho ...
