Development of Tunable Optical MEMS for Advanced Laser Beam Shaping, Homogenizing and Speckle Reduction

Jonathan Masson

In this thesis, the development, design, fabrication and characterization of three innovative laser beam shaping, homogenizing and speckle reduction devices are reported. Typical beam shaping devices are static and not easily adaptable to a large variety o ...

Design and evaluation of a new mechatronic platform for assessment and prevention of fall risks

Silvestro Micera

Background: Studying the responses in human behaviour to external perturbations during daily motor tasks is of key importance for understanding mechanisms of balance control and for investigating the functional response of targeted subjects. Experimental p ...

Dam breaks of viscoplastic material on an inclined plane.

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released on an inclined plane. ...

Texture change through film thickness and off-axis accommodation of (002) planes

Alireza Karimi, Akshath Raghu Shetty

We present our recent experimental results on the formation of off-axis texture and crystallographic tilting of crystallites that take place in thin film of transition metal nitrides. For this purpose, the microstructural development of TiAlN film was stud ...

Strain Measurement Validation Of Embedded Fiber Bragg Gratings

Stefano Trono

This study investigates the influence of strain state distribution on the accuracy of embedded optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) used as strain sensors. An optical fiber embedded parallel to adjacent structural fibers in a graphite epoxy quasi-isotropic ...

Shape and Motion of a Ruck in a Rug

John Martin Kolinski

The motion of a ruck in a rug is used as an analogy to explain the role of dislocations in crystalline solids. We take literally one side of this analogy and study the shape and motion of a bump, wrinkle or ruck in a thin sheet in partial contact with a ro ...

The dam-break problem for viscous fluids in the high-capillary-number limit

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard, Nicolas Andreini

Experiments were undertaken to investigate dam-break flows where a finite volume of highly viscous fluid (glucose with viscosity μ ≈ 350 Pa s) maintained behind a lock gate was released into a horizontal or inclined flume. The resulting sequence of flow-de ...

Interferometric Measurement on a Nanometric Length Scale

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate a measurement technique based on High Resolution Interference Microscopy (HRIM). HRIM allows the characterization of amplitude and phase of electromagnetic wave-fields in the far-field with a spatial accuracy that corresponds to a few nanome ...
