Thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of basalt-phenolic FRP rebars under high temperature

Thomas Keller, Hongwei Zhu, Ting Li, Jiahui Shen

An experimental investigation was conducted on the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of phenolic-basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (P-BFRP) rebars subjected to high temperature. As a comparison, vinylBFRP (V-BFRP) and epoxy-BFRP (E-BFRP) rebars ...

Highly Integrated Multi-Material Fibers for Soft Robotics

Fabien Sorin, Stella Andréa Françoise Laperrousaz, Hritwick Banerjee, Andreas Leber, Chaoqun Dong, Nicola Bartolomei, Bastien Schyrr

Soft robots are envisioned as the next generation of safe biomedical devices in minimally invasive procedures. Yet, the difficulty of processing soft materials currently limits the size, aspect-ratio, manufacturing throughput, as well as, the design comple ...

Detangling hair using feedback-driven robotic brushing

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

The brushing of hair requires a complex understanding of the interaction between soft hair fibers and the soft brushing device. It is also reliant on having both visual and tactile information. Guided by a recently developed model of soft tangled fiber bun ...

Giant Brillouin Amplification in Gas Using Hollow-core Fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

Optical amplification in hollow core fibers has been achieved using stimulated Brillouin scattering directly in the gaseous medium. More than 50 dB optical gain is observed over 50 m of fiber using 200 mW of pump power. ...

Soft functional fibers for mechanical sensing and actuation

Andreas Leber

The measurement and generation of mechanical deformations is a key functionality in health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and soft robotics. However, current methods typically rely on small and hard transducers, which result in poor performance, cu ...

Distributed Temperature Sensing Based on φ-OTDR Using Back-reflection-enhanced Fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Li Zhang, Suneetha Sebastian

Distributed temperature sensing with 10 dB back-reflection-enhanced fiber is performed based on φ-OTDR. While the temperature sensitivity of such fibers is similar to that of standard single-mode fibers, a 3-times higher temperature resolution is observed. ...

Experimental characterisation of textile compaction response: A benchmark exercise

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Christophe Lopez

This paper reports the results of an international benchmark exercise on the measurement of fibre bed compaction behaviour. The aim was to identify aspects of the test method critical to obtain reliable results and to arrive at a recommended test procedure ...

Dietary Fiber Is Essential to Maintain Intestinal Size, L-Cell Secretion, and Intestinal Integrity in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Dietary fiber has been linked to improved gut health, yet the mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. One proposed mechanism is through its influence on the secretion of gut hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gluca ...

Hierarchical Microstructure Informed Tractography

Gabriel Girard, Alessandro Daducci, Maxime Descoteaux

Background: Tractography uses diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively infer the macroscopic pathways of white matter fibers and it is the only available technique to probe in vivo the structural connectivity of the brain. However, despite thi ...
