A new martensitic ODS alloy (nominal composition Fe-9Cr-1W-0.2Ti-0.3Y 2O3) has recently been developed at CEA Saclay to achieve the goals defined for GEN IV reactors. The aim of this paper is to present the main challenges involved in the manufacturing of ...
This paper presents a 3D thermo-mechanical model of arc-welding applied to tubular K-joints susceptible to fatigue cracking. The 3D torch trajectory is reproduced to simulate both temperatures and stresses during welding and ultimately the 3D residual stre ...
The automatic generation of elastic-plastic stress fields (EPSF) for structural concrete members by means of the finite element method has been demonstrated as a suitable approach for the design and assessment of D regions. This methodology allows accounti ...
The invention concerns a pressure transducer comprising a deflecting membrane, said membrane comprising two piezoresistors (10, 11) of different types, said piezoresistors being arranged such that a same stress or a same strain is applied on said piezoresi ...
An anisotropic magnetorheological composite formed by dispersions of silver-covered magnetite microparticles (Fe3O4@Ag) in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) displaying electrical conduction only in one preferred direction is presented. A set-up for applying and ...
The performance of two Nb3Sn conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested. The current sharing temperatures (T-cs) were measured over 17 050 electromagnetic cycles, including four thermal cycles between 4.2 K and room temperature. T-cs declined alm ...
In the Factories of the Future framework, cutting-edge ICT developments have been accomplished by the industry, triggering new professional needs, which lead to new learning and training needs and new roles, especially regarding high-skilled labor force. U ...
Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SH-UHPFRC) were used successfully over the last 8 years in numerous cast in place rehabilitation applications as long lasting waterproofing layers (20 to 30 mm thickness) and, combined with ...
This paper reports on low-temperature and hermetic thin-film indium bonding for wafer-level encapsulation and packaging of delicate and temperature sensitive devices. This indium-bonding technology enables bonding of surface materials commonly used in MEMS ...
Car exhaust manifolds are critical components subjected to cyclic thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) during function. To reduce design costs, robust numerical design tools are required to assess their behaviour and lifetime. Manifolds are constructed by weldi ...
