Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi
The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...
2021Experimentation on hydraulic fracturing of Barre granite: from hydrofracturing to hydroshearing
Hydraulic fracturing is frequently used in the oil and gas industry to increase the permeability of rocks. Its application for Enhanced Geothermal Systems still faces many challenges such as the occurrence of induced seismicity and the difficulty to collec ...
2018The safety challenge of river diversion during construction of dams
The appropriate design of a river diversion system during construction of dam is an essential task since dramatic consequences in view of cost and time overrun may be involved. After a short outline of the different methods of river diversion and its main ...
2018Experimental characterization of a five blade tubular propeller turbine for pipe inline installation
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Irene Almeida Samora
The interest in micro-hydropower in existing infrastructure is increasing since this is a technology with low environmental impacts and potential for energy recovery in different types of installation. The technologies available for these schemes are still ...
Elsevier2016Aircraft panel with sensorless active sound power reduction capabilities through virtual mechanical impedances
This paper deals with an active structural acoustic control approach to reduce the transmission of tonal noise in aircraft cabins. The focus is on the practical implementation of the virtual mechanical impedances method by using sensoriactuators instead of ...
Elsevier2016Altitude: architecture et environnement de haute montagne
At the centre of the research is the preservation of the countryside which is highlighted and studied through an architectural approach which focuses on cabins in the high mountains. The projects must reflect upon territorial, global and sustainable aspect ...
EPFL2016Preliminary Study on the Influence of an Air-Bubble Screen on Local Scour around a Bridge Pier
Anton Schleiss, Violaine Dugué, Sylvain Rigaud, Elham Izadinia
Flow interactions with a bridge pier and movable river bed result in local scour which can endanger bridge pier foundations. This scour is initiated by the downward flow and amplified by the so-called horseshoe vortex. A new method to reduce scouring aroun ...
2012Direct measurement of drainage curves in infiltration of SiC particle preforms: influence of interfacial reactivity
Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani
We present dynamic measurement of drainage curves in two systems having relevance to metal matrix composite processing, namely SiC/Al and SiC/Al-12.2at%Si. Data show that liquid/solid chemical reactions that cause a lowering of the contact angle do indeed ...
Springer US2008Modeling of a Buss-Kneader as a polymerization reactor for acrylates. Part II: Methyl methacrylate based resins
The Buss-Kneader has proven to be a suitable reactor for the polymerization of acrylates. In this second part, the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and the ter- polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), hydroxyethyl methacrylate and n-butylmethacry ...
