Mixed-Mode I/II fracture behavior of asymmetric adhesively-bonded pultruded composite joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The mixed-mode fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer joints was experimentally investigated using asymmetric mixed-mode bending specimens. The crack propagated along paths outside the symmetry plane and, therefore, ...

Acoustic Leaky-Wave Antenna

Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani

In the last years, the number of studies carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials has significantly increased. In year 2009, our group proposed a concept of acoustic composite right/left hand transmission line (CRLH-TL) metamaterial, consisting o ...

Hunting composite vector resonances at the LHC: naturalness facing data

Davide Greco, Da Liu

We introduce a simplified low-energy effective Lagrangian description of the phenomenology of heavy vector resonances in the minimal composite Higgs model, based on the coset SO(5)/SO(4), analysing in detail their interaction with lighter top partners. Our ...

Wavelet-Based Identification and Classification of Local Symmetries in Microscopy Images

Michaël Unser, Zsuzsanna Püspöki

We present a method for the identification and classification of local symmetries in biological images. We aim at obtaining a precise estimate of symmetric junctions in a scale and rotation invariant way. The proposed method is template-free, which allows ...

Refractive index sensing with Fano resonant plasmonic nanostructures: a symmetry based nonlinear approach

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

Sensing using surface plasmon resonances is one of the most promising practical applications of plasmonic nanostructures and Fano resonances allow achieving a lower detection limit thanks to their narrow spectral features. However, a narrow spectral width ...

General coordinate invariance in quantum many-body systems

Alexander Monin, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in Galilei-invariant systems. The peculiar transformation rules for the backgrou ...

Global gyrokinetic stability of collisionless microtearing modes in large aspect ratio tokamaks

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner

Linear full radius gyrokinetic calculations show the existence of unstable microtearing modes (MTMs) in purely collisionless, high temperature, large aspect ratio tokamak plasmas. The present study takes into account fully gyrokinetic highly passing ions a ...

Parity-time symmetric metamaterials and metasurfaces for loss-immune and broadband acoustic wave manipulation

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

We explore the largely uncharted scattering properties of acoustic systems that are engineered to be invariant under a special kind of space-time symmetry, consisting in taking their mirror image and running time backwards. Known as Parity-Time symmetry, t ...

Combined ARPES and STM study of Pb/Au(111) Moiré structure: One overlayer, two symmetries

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune, Marco Grioni, Alberto Crepaldi, Markus Etzkorn, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

The structural and electronic properties of a Pb monolayer (ML) grown on Au(111) are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). We find an incommensurate Moire structure with an approximate (5 ...

Particle-hole condensates of higher angular momentum in hexagonal systems

Ronny Thomale

Hexagonal lattice systems (e.g., triangular, honeycomb, kagome) possess a multidimensional irreducible representation corresponding to d(x2-y2) and d(xy) symmetry. Consequently, various unconventional phases that combine these d-wave representations can oc ...
