Hypervelocity impact testing on stochastic and structured open porosity cast Al-Si cellular structures for space applications
A hypervelocity (6.7–7.0 km/s) impact testing campaign was conducted using Ø 2 mm, 95% Al projectiles onto A357 aluminium alloy stochastic foams with 4–5 mm typical pore dimensions, or alternatively diamond cubic periodic structures of cast AlSi12 with a 6 ...
2018On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero
The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016The role of the crystalline face in the ordering of 6-mercaptopurine self-assembled monolayers on gold
Well-ordered molecular films play an important role in nanotechnology, from device fabrication to surface patterning. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) on the Au(100)-(1 x 1) and Au(111)-(1 x 1) have been used to understand the int ...

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Lake Geneva is recovering from its eutrophic past but no significant trend in the areal hypolimnetic oxygen depletion rate has been observed over the last 30 years. Due to the large depth of 309 m, the lake is not mixed completely every winter which can le ...
2015Reduce ozone when and where it matters most
A research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a new way to help meet air quality standards that might reduce the costs of meeting the new ozone rule. Called APOM (Air Pollution Optimization Model), the method targets high-impact time ...

Daylighting opens up a range of topics of investigation at the interface between architecture and building technology, especially when focusing on the integration of building performance in design. While it has a strong impact on human health and well-bein ...
2013The Life and Death of the Air Film Beneath an Impacting Drop
Droplet impact is ubiquitous in our everyday experience; yet many mysteries associated with the phenomenon remain, including the role played by air during the impact process. When a liquid meets a solid surface in an atmosphere, it must drain the air benea ...
2012Investigation of the rotor blade tip vortex by PIV and CFD
The flow field around a helicopter is dominated by strong coherent vortices originating from the blade tip as a result of the pressure difference between suction and pressure side and a high radial velocity at the tip (Leishman, 2001; Green and Acosta, 199 ...
