Decarbonization potential of steel fibre-reinforced limestone calcined clay cement concrete one-way slabs
This study deals with a comparison of the environmental performance of one-way slabs utilizing steel fibrereinforced limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) concrete with the control case of Ordinary Portland cement concrete. The experimental program constitu ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Study on the possibility of Φ-OTDR sensing in hollow-core fibres
Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Yuting Yang
The backscattering process in hollow core fibres shows a large similarity with Rayleigh scattering, offering the potential to be exploited for distributed sensing. A classical Φ-OTDR implementation is used to observe the backscattering signal from the surf ...
SPIE2023Planar Equilibria of an Elastic Rod Wrapped Around a Circular Capstan
We present a study on planar equilibria of a terminally loaded elastic rod wrapped around a rigid circular capstan. Both frictionless and frictional contact between the rod and the capstan are considered. We identify three cases of frictionless contact - n ...
SPRINGER2022Multiscale experimental characterisation and modelling of transverse cracking in thin-ply composites
In this work, the damage dependency on ply thickness is investigated experimentally for three different thin-ply CFRP quasi-isotropic laminates, with constituents spanning a large range of properties. It is shown that free edge damage mechanisms, observed ...
EPFL2019Distributed forward Brillouin sensor based on local light phase recovery
Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Desmond Chow Ming Chia
The distributed fibre sensing technology based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (BSBS) is experiencing a rapid development. However, all reported implementations of distributed Brillouin fibre sensors until today are restricted to detecting phys ...
2018Novel technique for distributed fibre sensing based on coherent Rayleigh scattering measurements of birefringence
Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu
A novel distributed fibre sensing technique is described and experimentally validated, based on birefringence measurements using coherent Rayleigh scattering. It natively provides distributed measurements of temperature and strain with more than an order o ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2016Liquid Ropes: A Geometrical Model for Thin Viscous Jet Instabilities
Thin, viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitchlike patterns including meanders, W patterns, alternating loops, and translated coiling. These patterns form ...
American Physical Society2015Capacitive Strain Sensors Inkjet-printed on PET Fibers for Integration in Industrial Textile
Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Andres Felipe Vasquez Quintero, Giorgio Mattana, El Hadji Malick Camara
We report on printed strain sensors on several meters long PET fibers for integration in textile at large scale. The sensors are made by locally inkjet printing capacitive transducers on cylindrical PET fibers used in industrial textiles. Sensor measuremen ...
Elsevier2015Dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy/flax fibre composites
Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc
The mechanical and damping properties were measured for unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) composites containing 40 vol% of fibres in an epoxy matrix. All composites were processed by resin transfer moulding. The influence of the impregnati ...
Sage Publications Ltd2014Novel technique for distributed fibre sensing based on faint long gratings (FLOGs)
A novel approach for fibre distributed sensing is proposed, conceived to match as closely as possible to an ideally responding distributed sensor. It is demonstrated that it can be actually realized using fibre Bragg gratings of extremely low index contras ...
