Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Static and Dynamic Morphing Characteristics of a Chiral Core Airfoil
Aeroelastic tailoring requires structural compliance and thus often conflicts with stiffness requirements to carry prescribed aerodynamic loads. Recently however, the application of cellular structural concepts has suggested the potential to achieve compli ...
2006Microactuators based on ion-implanted dielectric Electroactive Polymer Membranes (EAP)
Nico de Rooij, Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset
We report on the first ion-implanted dielectric electroactive polymer actuator that was successfully microfabricated and tested. Ion implantation is used to make the surface of the polymer locally conducting. Implanting the compliant electrodes solves the ...
2005The role of surface elasticity in giant corrugations observed by scanning tunneling microscopes
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
2004A superposition framework for discrete dislocation plasticity
A superposition technique is introduced that allows for the application of discrete dislocation (DD) plasticity to a wide range of thermomechanical problems with reduced computational effort. Problems involving regions of differing elastic and/or plastic b ...
2004The Snake Origin
Active contours (snakes) provide a unified account of a number of visual problems, including detection of edges, lines and subjective contours as well as motion tracking and stereo matching. Since their first apparition the researchers of the image process ...
2003Cartographie et spectroscopie des propriétés mécaniques à l'échelle du nanomètre par spectrométrie acoustique locale à fréquence variable
This work aims at completing the development of local mechanical spectroscopy as initiated by F. Oulevey during his thesis. More precisely, the measurement of the amplitude and phase lag of the strain as a function of the applied stress frequency bas to be ...
EPFL2000Non-linear behaviour of the pulsating white dwarf G29-38 - III. Relative amplitudes of the cross-frequencies
In each season when the DA pulsating white dwarf G29–38 has been observed, its period spectrum appears very different, but it always contains a forest of harmonics and cross-frequencies. The ratio of the amplitude of these non-linear frequencies Ac to the ...
2000Time-dependent failure in fiber-reinforced composites by matrix and interface shear creep
The inelastic response of fiber-reinforced ceramic and metal matrix composites under fixed load at elevated temperature is due to the complementary effects of creep and damage in the constituents. After matrix cracking or tensile creep relaxation in a shor ...
