Finite element modelling and testing of an injection moulded generic tow reinforced structure

Martyn Douglas Wakeman

The deformation and fracture behaviour of a generic injection moulded structure reinforced by a robotically placed commingled glass fibre/polypropylene UD-tow (uni-directional) was simulated by finite elements. The suitability of modelling hybrid structure ...

A framework for component-based construction

Joseph Sifakis

We present an overview of results developed mainly at Verimag, by the author and his colleagues, on a framework for component-based construction, characterized by the following: the behavior of atomic components is represented by transition systems; compon ...

Effect of Stress on Water-Filled Inclusions in Viscoplastic Soils

Dani Or

The relationships between applied stress, deformation and internal pressure of water filled inclusions embedded in soft soils were studied to improve understanding of pore-scale mechanical behavior and towards development of methods for in situ measurement ...

Brain Shift Correction Based on a Boundary Element Biomechanical Model with Different Material Properties

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Torsten Butz

Neuronavigation systems are usually subject to inaccuracy due to intraoperative changes like brain shift or tumor resection. In order to correct for these deformations a biomechanical model of the brain is proposed. Not only elastic tissues, but also fluid ...

Inverse grading in granular flow

The current work concerns with the parametrical dependencies of inverse grading in granular flows from material properties of individual particles involved in the flow. The investigations were initiated and motivated by the search for an explanation of the ...

Thermocompression assembling device used to connect together a wire with an IC

Mathijs Pieter van der Meer

The conical diamond is retained in material of specific thermal expansion coefficient to ensure that it is not loosened when the temperature rises. The tool comprises a head which includes a small diamond (2) fixed to a support body (3). The diamond has a ...

Field polarization and polarization charge distributions in plasmon resonant nanoparticles

Olivier Martin

We study the plasmon resonances for small two-dimensional silver particles (nanowires) with elliptical or triangular shapes in the 20 nm size range. While the elliptical particle has only two resonances, a well known fact, we demonstrate that the triangula ...

Free-electron-laser near-field nanospectroscopy

Giorgio Margaritondo

First experiments at the Vanderbilt free electron lasers measured the local reflectivity of a PtSi/Si system. The reflectivity in the scanning near-field optical microscope images revealed features that were not present in the corresponding shear-force (to ...

STRUCTURE AND PHASE-STABILITY OF GAXIN1-XP SOLID-SOLUTIONS FROM COMPUTATIONAL ALCHEMY

Nicola Marzari

The structural and thermodynamical properties of GaxIn1-xP solid solutions are studied using Monte Carlo simulations based on density-functional perturbation theory. The free-standing alloy displays a model random behavior, with a miscibility gap below app ...

Diamagnetic currents

Nicolas Macris

Abstract We study the diamagnetic surface currents of particles in thermal equilibrium submitted to a constant magnetic field. The current density of independent electrons with Boltzmann (respectively Fermi) statistics has a gaussian (respectively exponent ...
