We discuss the structural, electronic and dielectric properties of a model structure of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface that accounts for the amorphous nature of the oxide. After showing that the structural properties of this model are consistent with a variety ...
The design of timber rip shells confronts the engineer with major uncertainties during the planning process. The consideration of the elastic compound cross section during structural analysis of curved members by means of conventional calculation methods i ...
The extremely low permeability of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) associated with their outstanding mechanical properties make them especially suitable to locally "harden" reinforced concrete structures in critical zones subjecte ...
In this paper the mechanical design of the new active MHD antennas for JET is described and the structural/mechanical analysis for the antennas is presented. These new antennas replace the existing n = 1 or 2 saddle coils with a set of eight smaller antenn ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer several advantages in relation to traditional materials, such as high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and rapid component installation. Despite the great potential of th ...
We review the structural, electronic and dielectric properties of atomistic models of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface, which have been purposely designed in order to match a large variety of atomic-scale experimental data. After describing the generation proced ...
We propose and examine a simple model for credit migration and spread curves of a single firm both under real-world and risk-neutral measures. This model is a hybrid of a structural and a reduced-form model. Default is triggered either by successive downgr ...
The MUSE4 programme of ADS-related integral experiments has recently been completed at the MASURCA facility at Cadarache (France). Investigations have been carried out in a reference critical fast-spectrum configuration and related sub-critical core config ...
Oxide dispersed strengthened (ODS) ferritic-martensitic steels are investigated as possible structural material for the future generation of High Temperature Gas Cooled Nuclear Reactors. The Ni based austenitic ODS superalloys are not considered, because o ...
This paper analyzes the structural and acoustic behavior of sandwich beams with a chiral truss-core. This particular core configuration is considered to exploit some of the unique properties of the chiral geometry and to explore their potential benefits in ...
