The effect of nanometre-scale structure on interfacial energy

Francesco Stellacci, Kislon Voitchovsky

Natural surfaces are often structured with nanometre-scale domains, yet a framework providing a quantitative understanding of how nanostructure affects interfacial energy, gamma(SL), is lacking. Conventional continuum thermodynamics treats gamma(SL) solely ...

Nuclear responses in IFMIF creep-fatigue testing machine

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is an intense high-energy neutron source dedicated to the development and qualification of materials for the first generation of fusion reactors. The target facility will consist of a high flu ...

A Weighted Finite State Transducer tutorial

Philip Neil Garner

The concepts of WFSTs are summarised, including structural and stochastic optimisations. A typical composition process for ASR is described. Some experiments show that care should be taken with silence models. ...

Structural analysis of a composite bridge structure combining UHPFRC and prestressed concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Hamid Sadouki, Cornelius Oesterlee

Reinforced concrete being the most applied construction material today performs very well in most applications but still lacks durability under severe environmental conditions. Especially existing structures built decades ago show degradation. Using Ultra- ...

ALT-evaluation of high stiffness base layers with high percentages of reclaimed asphalt

Nicolas Bueche

New Road Construction Concepts (NR2C) is a FEHRL-project supported by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme. NR2C develops perspectives and specific innovations, so that long-term visions are linked to short-term action. One of the id ...

Hybrid FRP-lightweight concrete sandwich system for engineering structures

Erika Schaumann

Hybrid slab systems combining fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with concrete are promising load-bearing structures, and an increasing number of applications has demonstrated their high potential in terms of structural performance and durability. H ...

Rehabilitation of concrete structures using Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié

An original concept is presented for the rehabilitation of concrete structures. The main idea is to use Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) to “harden” those zones where the structure is exposed to severe environmental and high mechan ...

Detail design of the MPU Heavy Lifter

Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Hannes Ludescher

This paper gives insight into detail design of the MPU Heavy Lifter. The innovative structure is developed for offshore heavy lifting operations like removing or installing platforms. Its hull is composed of highly reinforced and prestressed lightweight co ...

Structural implications of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete in bridge design

Ana Spasojevic

The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...

MOEMS thermal imaging camera

Muhammed Fatih Toy, Onur Ferhanoglu

A novel thermo-mechanical Infrared (IR) imaging array with integrated diffraction gratings for optical readout was fabricated and tested. Parylene was used as a structural material for its low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion properties. Tes ...
