Development of a New Embedded Dynamometer for the Measurement of Forces and Torques at the Ski-Binding Interface

Alain Schorderet, Alain Michel Prenleloup, Frédéric Meyer

In alpine skiing, understanding the interaction between skiers and snow is of primary importance for both injury prevention as well as performance analysis. Risk of injuries is directly linked to constraints undergone by the skier. A force platform placed ...

Survivability of integrated PVDF film sensors to accelerated ageing conditions in aeronautical/aerospace structures

Alain Schorderet, Joël Cugnoni, Enrique René Guzman Solares

This work validates the use of integrated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film sensors for dynamic testing, even after being subjected to UV-thermo-hygro-mechanical accelerated ageing conditions. The verification of PVDF sensors' survivability in these envi ...

Identification of the elastic and damping properties in sandwich structures with a low core-to-skin stiffness ratio

Alain Schorderet, Thomas Gmür, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

A mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure for estimating the storage and loss properties in sandwich structures with a soft core is developed The proposed method uses at the experimental level a precise measurement setup with an electro-dynam ...

A PSDT shell finite element formulation including structural damping

Thomas Gmür, Alain Schorderet, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

This paper describes efficient C-0-compatible finite elements for modelling structurally damped laminated composite plates and shells under harmonic vibrations. Based upon a shear deformation theory of any order p (PSDT), the elements are well adapted for ...

Numerical-experimental identification of the elastic and damping properties in composite plates

Thomas Gmür, Alain Schorderet, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

A novel method is presented for estimating the elastic and dissipative parameters of composite plates and shells through a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure based on the natural frequencies, modal damping factors and mode shapes of the ...

Accurate Trajectory and Orientation of a Motorcycle derived from low-cost Satellite and Inertial Measurement Systems

Jan Skaloud, Alain Schorderet, Adrian Wägli, Christophe Prongué

Inertially aided satellite positioning can bring its benefits to all disciplines in which detailed knowledge of the trajectory is a prerequisite for improving performance. In motorcycling for instance, the determination of slips of tires requires the deter ...
