Mechanical polishing is commonly used for both surface finishing and metallographic sample preparation for a broad range of materials. However, polishing causes local deformation and induces residual stress, which has an important effect on many surface ph ...
Bien que la pollution par les plastiques soit de mieux en mieux connue et fasse l’objet d’un nombre croissant de publications, les données concernant les eaux douces restent très limitées et morcelées. Cette problématique a été mise en évidence dès 2012 da ...
Wearable and implantable body sensor network systems are one of the key technologies for continuous monitoring of patient’s vital health status such as temperature and blood pressure, and brain activity. Such devices are critical for early detection of eme ...
Understanding and predicting the behaviour of wind turbine wake flows over hills is important for optimal design of wind-farm configurations on topography. In this study, we present an analytical modelling framework together with large-eddy simulation (LES ...
Purpose To measure spatiotemporal B-0 field changes in real time using FID navigators (FIDnavs) and to demonstrate the efficacy of retrospectively correcting high-resolution T2*-weighted images using a novel FIDnav framework. Methods A forward model of the ...
Inception and desinence thresholds of tip vortex cavitation (TVC), generated by an elliptical NACA 16-020 hydrofoil, are measured at different flow conditions for various gas contents. It is observed that TVC often disappears at cavitation indices signific ...
Nickel-based superalloys are frequently used under operating conditions that lead to the formation of an oxide layer. In this study, the mechanical properties of such a submicron oxide scale formed on a nickel-based superalloy were evaluated. The Poisson’s ...
This thesis investigates the interaction between mechanically induced flow of a liquid metal into a porous solid, and kinetic effects at the triple line. The approach is experimental and focuses on metal-ceramic systems for which the literature gives value ...
For a graph F, we say a hypergraph H is a Berge-F if it can be obtained from F by replacing each edge of F with a hyperedge containing it. We say a hypergraph is Berge-F-saturated if it does not contain a Berge-F, but adding any hyperedge creates a copy of ...
The impact of partial water saturation on the mechanical behaviour of clays and claystones has been widely proved. This work aims at demonstrating that also for gas shales partial water saturation has a significant influ-ence on their stiffness and strengt ...
