An Inertial Uni-Axial Interferometer-Based Accelerometer for Harsh Environments

Mark Edward John Butcher, Gerard Aliana Cervera

For high-impact devices, subsequent vibrations have as much influence on the deterioration of the mechanical structure as the impact itself. To mitigate the consequences of both impacts and resulting vibrations, it is crucial to accurately understand the p ...

Seismic stability of steel moment resisting frames with inelastic panel zones

Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

This paper summarizes preliminary findings of nonlinear simulations aiming to quantify the seismic demands of codecompliant steel MRFs with variable panel zone targeted shear distortions, 𝛾!. The probability of beam fractures is explicitly considered in th ...

Optimization of composition and structure of cemented carbide cutting tools

Samy Adjam

WC-Co cemented carbides are composites, which combine a hard phase consisting of WC grains and a metallic ductile phase as a binder. Their excellent mechanical properties, combining high hardness, toughness and refractory properties, make them excellent ma ...

Statistical Fatigue Investigation and Failure Prediction of a Healable Composite System

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Nathan Klaus Hostettler

Fiber reinforced polymers are massively used as an alternative to metals in structural applications. The brittle nature of their matrix, however, makes them more susceptible to crack formation and propagation resulting in costly repair operations and incre ...

Cavitation induction by projectile impacting on a water jet

Mohamed Farhat

The present paper focuses on the simulation of the high-velocity impact of a projectile impacting on a water-jet, causing the onset, development and collapse of cavitation. The simulation of the fluid motion is carried out using an explicit, compressible, ...

Influence of the stacking sequence on the low-energy impact resistance of flax/PA11 composite

Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin

In this paper, the low-energy impact behavior of a fully biobased composite made of bio-sourced polyamide 11 resin reinforced with flax fibers was investigated. Different composite laminates were studied in order to determine the stacking sequence effects ...

Bipedal walking and push recovery with a stepping strategy based on time-projection control

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Seyed Hamed Razavi

In this paper, we present a simple control framework for online push recovery on biped robots with dynamic stepping properties. Owing to relatively heavy legs in our humanoid robot COMAN, we use a linear model called 3LP, which is composed of three pendulu ...

Is there a relationship between footstep-impact locations and measured signal characteristics?

Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira

Building utilization can be enhanced by tracking occupants. Non-intrusive tracking of occupants using floor-vibration measurements is beneficial for many smart-building applications such as energy consumption, security enhancement, and care-giving. Also, u ...

Electrospun nanofibrous interleaves for improved low velocity impact resistance of glass fibre reinforced composite laminates

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

This study analyses the damage tolerance of nanofibre interleaved composites when subjected to low velocity impact. Cross-ply glass/epoxy composite laminates are produced. Drop-weight impact and residual compressive strength measurements are performed on t ...

Numerical simulation of two-dimensional crack propagation

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Aida Cameselle Molares

A numerical investigation was carried out to simulate the experimental results previously obtained concerning two-dimensional in-plane crack propagation in laminated glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates. The plates were designed with an embedded ci ...
