Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive method of measuring tissue compliance. Current MRE methods rely on custom-built hardware to elicit vibrations that are tracked by MR imaging. Knowledge of the wave propagation can be used to calculate ...
It is well recognized that alterations on wall shear stress plays an important role on the development of atherosclerosis disease. It is known that oscillatory shear stress (OSS) flow pattern induces endothelial dysfunction via changes on nitric oxide (NO) ...
On the one hand, it has been observed that liquefaction- induced shear deformation of soils accumulates in a cycle- by-cycle pattern. On the other hand, it is known that heating could induce plastic hardening. This study deals with the constitutive modelli ...
An experimental study, conducted with an advanced triaxial press, evaluates the effect of different loading paths on the dynamic behavior of natural Swiss sand. Emphasis is put on comparison between the dynamic parameters evaluated in a single loading (wit ...
This paper presents the results of six tests on R/C bridge cantilever slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to concentrated loading. The specimens represent actual deck slabs of box-girder bridges scaled 3/4. They were 10mlong with a clear cantilever ...
The adhesive pads of geckos provide control of normal adhesive force by controlling the applied shear force. This frictional adhesion effect is one of the key principles used for rapid detachment in animals running up vertical surfaces. We developed polypr ...
This paper investigates the load-carrying mechanisms and the strength of thin-webbed, post-tensioned beams failing by crushing of the web. The shear strength in these members is significantly reduced because of the state of cracking in the web and because ...
Satisfactory impregnation of glass fiber mats may be obtained with isotactic polypropylene/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites under conditions comparable with industrial conditions. However, it is demonstrated here that the high melt viscosity of the nan ...
A new unified constitutive hydro-mechanical model named ACMEG-s is formulated to improve modelling of unsaturated soils in free or constrained conditions. Indeed, due to particular mechanical and hydraulic boundary conditions, some natural and engineered f ...
