Mechanical resonators with high quality factors are widely used in precision experiments, ranging from gravitational wave detection and force sensing to quantum optomechanics. Beams and membranes are well known to exhibit flexural modes with enhanced quali ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently being selected for the design of lightweight and efficient structural members in a wide number of engineering applications. Sandwich panels with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face she ...
As an extension of the isotropic setting presented in the companion paper Agoritsas et al (2019 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 52 144002), we consider the Langevin dynamics of a many-body system of pairwise interacting particles in d dimensions, submitted to an ...
Modeling dislocation multiplication due to interaction and reactions on a mesoscopic scale is an important task for the physically meaningful description of stage II hardening in face centered cubic crystalline materials. In recent Discrete Dislocation Dyn ...
The design of controllable artificial microbial consortia has attracted considerable interest in recent years to capitalize on the inherent advantages in comparison to monocultures such as the distribution of the metabolic burden by division of labor, the ...
Although distributed fiber-optic sensing of axial strain and temperature is a well-established technique, there are almost no demonstrations of distributed hydrostatic pressure sensing. The main obstacle for such measurements is the low sensitivity to pres ...
In the literature, the plane-strain assumption usually forms the basis of inverse analyses of excavations, mainly due to the high computational cost of 3D analyses. In this paper, a procedure that quantifies three-dimensional effects of excavation is propo ...
We present a simple open-loop method to increase the response speed and suppress the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators. The parameters of the model can be extracted from two simple measurements: a strain vs. voltage ramp, and the strain ...
The Chillon viaducts, in service since 1969, are two parallel structures with a total length of 2.1km each and spans varying from 92 to 104 meters. This post-tensioned precast concrete structure was strengthened with UHPFRC (Ultra High Performance Fiber Re ...
Small-scale, deformable riblets, embedded within the viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer and capable to adapt to the overlying motion, are studied. The wall micro-grooves are made of a linearly elastic material and can undergo small deformations ...
