Rising from rubble - Leveraging existing construction tools for upcycling concrete waste into slender walls

Katrin Beyer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Qianqing Wang, Maxence Grangeot

In this paper, we present a new method for upcycling concrete rubble waste into slender walls through the lightweight digital augmentation of mainstream construction machines. By using such method, the environmental impact of concrete construction and demo ...

Contact.engineering-Create, analyze and publish digital surface twins from topography measurements across many scales

Till Junge, Abhijeet Gujrati

The optimization of surface finish to improve performance, such as adhesion, friction, wear, fatigue life, or interfacial transport, occurs largely through trial and error, despite significant advancements in the relevant science. There are three central c ...

Testing of a full-scale flat slab building for gravity and lateral loads

Aurelio Muttoni, António Manuel Pinho Ramos

Full-scale testing of a two-storey flat slab structure is reported, undertaken in the SlabSTRESS research project; the construction and testing were planned and carried out at the ELSA laboratory of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. The dime ...

Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy

Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...

Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used f ...

Development of a novel mechanical micro-engraving method for the high-aspect-ratio microstructures of an advanced window system

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Jing Gong, Antoine Robert Michel Delaunay

A transparent polymer film with embedded micro mirrors is developed, and it can be attached to a window glass pane for daylighting, improving visual comfort and reducing cooling load in buildings by redirecting sunlight. Despite existing cutting-edge techn ...

Compact fibre Bragg grating-based thermometer for on-line temperature monitoring of drill bits

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

In this communication, a novel compact fibre Bragg grating-based thermometer for on-line temperature monitoring of drill bits is reported. Our proposed technique can potentially be used to optimize any drilling process, requiring the use of small drill bit ...

Delamination monitoring using low frequency stress waves for laminated composites

Wei Shi, Zhisheng Yang, Pingyu Zhu

Owing to the anisotropy of composite laminates, local responses happens at periphery of the drilled hole even under the same loads. The strain measurement is probably the most sensitive and better option to detect and quantify delamination inside composite ...

Novel concept of performance enhancing hybrid adhesive connections in glass structures

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Adhesive connections are increasingly used as an alternative to bolted connections for façade elements and structural glass components. The disadvantages of mechanical connections, such as damage induced by drilling holes and local stress intensification a ...

Hydraulic fracturing for unconventional resources development: challenges & opportunities for the mechanical community

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Oil and gas production from unconventional reservoirs (i.e. tight) now accounts for about half of the total US hydrocarbon production from essentially zero ten years ago. Such a drastic increase in production from unconventional resources was made possible ...
