An experimental model test study is carried out to investigate damage pattern and progression on a rock armoured breakwater roundhead subjected to multidirectional waves. Concerning damage pattern, the most critical sector is observed to shift leeward with ...
A split Hopkinson pressure bar system with a special shape striker has been suggested as the test method by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) to determine the dynamic characteristics of rock materials. In order to further verify this test ...
This paper presents a numerical study on wave transmission across jointed rock masses with UDEC, where multiple intersecting joint sets exist. The capability of UDEC of studying wave transmission across rock joints is validated through comparison with anal ...
Rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials, such as sand, usually contribute to rock mass instability under the influence of seismic waves and dynamic loads. The purpose of this study is to verify that the specific fracture stiffness and the specifi ...
Recently, the study of slot-coupled directional couplers has led to compact and elegant topologies for UWB applications. The most common design consists in two elliptically shaped lines coupled through an elliptically shaped slot in a common ground plane. ...
The present work describes a new methodology for contact free impedance of a solution in a polymer microchip taking into account the role played by the surrounding polymer on the impedance accuracy. Measurements were carried out using a photoablated polyet ...
The Seebeck coefficient in multilayer graphene is investigated within the density-functional theory, using the semiclassical Boltzmann equations and interpolating the bands in a maximally-localized Wannier functions basis set. We compare various graphene s ...
A laser vibrometer is used to measure waves generated by a piezoelectric transducer in a solid steel sphere. The spatial and temporal resolution make it possible to verify the theoretical dispersion relation of spherical surface waves. In particular, the a ...
Large-area and large-volume radio frequency (RF) plasmas are produced by different arrangements of an elementary electrical mesh consisting of two conductors interconnected by a capacitor at each end. The obtained cylindrical and planar RF networks are res ...
The present investigation is concerned with wave propagation in micropolar thermoelastic solid half space with distinct conductive and thermodynamic temperatures. Reflection of plane waves incident obliquely at the free surface of micropolar generalized th ...
