Nouvelles perspectives du BIM
2021
Les dernières avancées dans la modélisation des informations du bâtiment et la maquette numérique ont permis d'améliorer l'efficacité des livraisons et performances, en catalysant des méthodes de travail innovantes dans le domaine général de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie et de la construction (AEC). Malgré les nombreux outils et technologies numériques et les différentes normes ouvertes BIM, il demeure un besoin croissant d'interopérabilité entre acteurs et logiciels.Allant de cas d'études constitués par des projets industriels réels à des projets recherche, les six chapitres de cet ouvrage témoignent de l'intérêt de la filière et des entreprises pour adapter et faire évoluer leurs pratiq…
Biotechnological applications of the sepiolite interactions with bacteria: Bacterial transformation and DNA extraction
2020
International audience; Among the various clay minerals, sepiolite, which is a natural nanofibrous silicate that exhibit a poor cell toxicity, is a potential promising nanocarrier for the non-viral and stable transfer of plasmid DNA into bacteria, mammalian and human cells. We first show here that sepiolite binds to bacteria, which can be useful in decontamination protocols. In a previous research we have shown that is possible to modulate the efficiency of the absorption of different types of DNA molecules onto sepiolite, and that the DNA previously adsorbed could be recovered preserving the DNA structure and biological activity. Taking advantage of both, the sepiolite/bacteria and sepioli…
Recent developments in the acoustical properties of perforated and porous materials containing dead-end pores
2017
It was shown recently in Nevers, France, Sherbrooke, Canada and Salford, UK, that porous materials with semi-opened pores or materials with open pores bearing lateral cavities or resonators at the microscopic scale of the pores can result in peculiar sound absorption properties. Various examples of these materials can be found in engineering and in everyday life including bio-based materials. The cavities and resonators can be assimilated to dead-end pores, which are opened at one end and closed at the other. The dead-end pores are known to geophysicists. We studied them more recently in the field of engineering acoustics where the saturating fluid is air. The closed ends prevent the fluid …
Revisiting Vs30 as a proxy parameter for site effects: a case study using KIKNET data
2011
The local geology can strongly affect the seismic ground motion at the surface. One standard index used to classify local site effects is the average shear wave velocity in the first 30 meters, namely Vs30. The higher the Vs30 the stiffer the material is and therefore less amplification is expected. However, this index does not map the complexity of the velocity at depth. Indeed, some sites may have close Vs30 values, but quite different velocity distribution at depth. In this study, we propose the ratio between the average shear wave velocity up to depths having at least 800 m/s and Vs30. This ratio gives information about the velocity distribution at depth. Lower ratios mean stronger simi…
Prediction of hydraulic and acoustic properties of open-graded mixes
2014
The use of open-graded mixes increases significantly the hydraulic permeability of pavement and contributes to reduce the noise impact in comparison to traditional pavement. Such characteristics are very appealing and would greatly increase driver's safety. However, during service life, the pores tend to be clogged by many factors among them secondary traffic compaction and filling of voids by fine materials are relevant, especially on heavy routes. In this case the noise reduction and drainage capabilities will gradually disappear, causing serious problems for road safety and maintenance. In this paper we propose a simulation approach in order to predict the drainage and acoustic behavior …
Determining the effects of Eugenol on the bond strength of resin-based restorative materials to dentin : a meta-analysis of the literature
2020
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/3/1070/htm Este artículo pertenece al número especial " Permanent and long-term biodegradable biomaterials". The aim of this study was to determine whether the residual presence of eugenol in coronal dentin may compromise the bond strength of resin-based restorative materials. A search was performed on MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scopus, and by hand search for relevant papers. No restriction was applied for language and publication date. The studies selected for analysis tested specimens with reduced size (micro-shear bond strength ( SBS) and micro-tensile bond strength ( TBS)) of adhesive systems and resin-bas…
Agro-tourism Structures, SARS-CoV-2: the Role of Water
2022
The agro-tourism environmental sustainability and its circular economy approaches represent the keys for the future development of the sector and in term of tourist presences, thanks to their growing attractivity. Water is one of the most used inputs in agro-tourism structures for internal (drinking, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and outdoor use (for agriculture and green areas management). In the scientific literature, the outdoor water use was more studied with regard the agro-tourism structures. The aim of the present paper is first to check and understand how the water consumption of an agro-tourism structure is managed and to propose solutions for its reduction, all in agreement with circul…
Material flow analysis in dissimilar friction stir welding of AA2024 and Ti6Al4V butt joints
2016
The complex material flow occurring during the weld of dissimilar AA2024 to Ti6Al4V butt and lap joints was highlighted through a dedicated numerical model able to take into account the effects of the different materials as well as the phase transformation of the used titanium alloy.
