On Singular Poisson Sternberg Spaces

We obtain a theory of stratified Sternberg spaces thereby extending the theory of cotangent bundle reduction for free actions to the singular case where the action on the base manifold consists of only one orbit type. We find that the symplectic reduced sp ...

High-statistics study of ηπ0 production in two-photon collisions

Olivier Schneider, Chao Wang, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Ji Hyun Kim, Jing Li

The differential cross section for the process γγ→η π0 has been measured in the kinematic range 0.84GeV

Suspended-core fibres as optical gas sensing cells: study and implementation

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire

We have thoroughly studied and modelled many important aspects for the realization of gas-light interactions in suspended-core fibres. The fraction of the optical field propagating in holes could be calculated from the fibre geometry to predict the total a ...

Multiaxial fatigue criterion accounting for anisotropy in forged components

Roland Logé

Numerical modelling of fatigue behavior for anisotropic structures has become critical for design applications. This is particularly true for forged components due to the intrinsic anisotropy of the material resulting from the process. The aim of this stud ...

Poisson reduction and the Hamiltonian structure of the Euler-Yang-Mills equations

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

The problem treated here is to find the Hamiltonian structure for an ideal gauge-charged fluid. Using a Kaluza-Klein point of view, we obtain the non-canonical Poisson bracket and the motion equations by a Poisson reduction involving the automorphism group ...

Reduced Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of Euler-Yang-Mills fluids

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structures for an ideal gauge-charged fluid are determined. Using a Kaluza-Klein point of view, the equations of motion are obtained by Lagrangian and Poisson reductions associated to the automorphism group of a principal bun ...

Predicting sizing dependent bending rigidity of glass fibre bundles in sheet moulding compounds

Véronique Michaud, Emmanuelle Comte

The effect of sizing on bending rigidity in fibre bundles was investigated. Particular attention was paid to the effect of film formers and anti-static agents on the behaviour of glass fibre bundles under forced packing conditions. The bending rigidity of ...

Void Formation And Transport During SMC Manufacturing: Effect Of The Glass Fibre Sizing

Véronique Michaud, Emmanuelle Comte

The present study investigates the origin of voids in sheet molding compounds (SMCs) sheets and their transport during the manufacturing steps. Paste mixing, impregnation, thickening, and molding have been performed with five different SMC sheets, one with ...

Confocal microscopy using variable-focal-length microlenses and an optical fiber bundle

Liza Carol Andrea Dunbar, Toralf Scharf, Lin Yang

The use of variable-focal-length (VFL) microlenses can provide a way to axially scan the foci across a sample by electronic control. We demonstrate an approach to coupling VFL microlenses individually to a fiber bundle as a way to create a high-throughput ...

Correlation between sizing formulation and compressive behaviour of concentrated glass bundle suspensions

Véronique Michaud, Emmanuelle Comte

The correlation between sizing formulation, bundle mechanical characteristics, and bundle-matrix static and dynamic interactions are investigated. Two glass-fiber sizing formulations are considered, one containing polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and the other pol ...
