Bone diagnostic instrument

Georg Fantner

The bone diagnostic instrument is designed to measure materials properties of bone even if it is covered with soft tissue such as periosteum, connective tissue and skin. It uses (1) a probe assembly, consisting of a reference probe that penetrates soft tis ...

Modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium: Theory and experiment

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We present the first experimental investigation of modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium. The particularly interesting and appealing feature of our configuration, consisting of alternating glass-air layers, is the piecewise-constant nature of t ...

Monitoring and modelling of construction materials during hardening

Marco Viviani

During the past decade, the science of concrete behavior has made much progress and many useful results are now incorporated in technical codes such as those governing mix design, quality of mix and post pouring verification. The stage of Very Early Age (V ...

Development of active materials with adaptive acoustic impedance

Hervé Lissek

Active materials with adaptive acoustic impedance are materials with an acoustic characteristic which can be controlled using as external source of energy and a control circuit. Controlling the acoustic impedance means controlling the transmission, reflect ...

Failure of Dam concrete subjected to seismic Loading Conditions

Eugen Brühwiler

e numerical simulation of concrete dams subjected to earthquake loading requires realistic material laws which take into account seismic loading conditions. Dynamic tests were performed in order to examine the effect of initially applied compressive loadin ...

Fracture of mass concreete under simulated seismic action

Eugen Brühwiler

The numerical simulation of concrete dams subject to earthquake loading requires realistic material laws which take into account material properties as effected by seismic action. Experiments under simulated seismic action were performed to examine the eff ...

Impact of Embodied Energy on materials/buildings with partial replacement of ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by natural Pozzolanic Volcanic Ash

Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

This work studies the effect on Embodied Energy (EE) of concrete when Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is partially substituted with natural Pozzolanic Volcanic Ash (VA) at the material and the building scale. The work aims to demonstrate potential improveme ...
