Development of Removable Visual Impact Indicator or Polymer Composite Materials
2021
The prototype of removable visual impact indicator for thermoset polymer composite materials is developed, and its characteristics are experimentally determined. The indicator is a fabric tape glued by epoxy to the surface of the polymer composite. The tape is impregnated with a composition that provides a visual response at the place of an impact on the composite surface. Ball-drop tests demonstrated the increase of the magnitude of the visual response with the impact energy at different substrate hardnesses. The shelf-life and mode of the tape storage until commissioning are determined. Peel tests showed the ability to remove a used indicator without damaging the surface of the composite.

L'analyse fractale, un nouvel outil pour l'analyse spatiale des agglomérations urbaines
1997
The fractal approach. A new tool for the spatial analysis of urban agglomerations. Fractal geometry is a new approach for the study of spatial distributions. The basic model is a law of hierarchical distribution corresponding to Pareto's law which is familiar to urban geographers and demographers. The methods of fractal analysis can be used to study the spatial organization of human activities across scales. The regularities and the discontinuities in the distributions can then be identified. These discontinuities can be spatially situated. Applying this concept to urbanized areas has shown that districts can be defined and classified according to their scaling relations, thereby allowing d…
Estimation géométrique des tangentes à partir de coniques et algèbre géométrique. Exemples sous GAviewer
2018
National audience; Les nombres complexes sont fortement liés à la géométrie plane. Si les rotations, symétries et similitudes planes parmi d'autres s'expriment aisément à l'aide des complexes, le mérite de ce mode de représentation prend tout son sens dans toutes les compositions de ces transformations. Cette algébrisation des problèmes géométriques est le fil directeur de l'article. Elle fournit ainsi des formules de calcul aisément exploitables sur ordinateur. A titre d'exemple, l'article propose un algorithme géométrique de calcul de tangentes à une conique, son adaptation au contexte de l'algèbre géométrique et son implémentation au moyen d'un logiciel dédié. L'algorithme repose sur le …
A novel linear friction welding based approach for sheet-bulk joining
2019
In the last decades, the development of new, flexible manufacturing processes caused the increase of the demands for highly customized complex functional parts in many industrial fields. The peculiar design of these components often overcome conventional sheet metal and bulk metal forming processes capabilities. In order to face this issue, new hybrid techniques, capable of exploit key advantages of different processes, have to be developed. In this paper, a novel approach based on the Linear Friction Welding process is proposed to obtain sheet-bulk joints. The feasibility of the technique on high specific strength alloys is investigated through an experimental campaign.In the last decades,…
Effect of dual blockade of renin-angiotensin system on TGF beta 1 and left ventricular structure and function in hypertensive patients
2007
The effects of 24 weeks losartan and ramipril treatment,both alone and in combination, on left ventricular mass (LVM), circulating transforming growth factor b1(TGFb1), procollagen type I (PIP) and III (PIIIP), havebeen evaluated in hypertensive (HT) patients. A total of 57 HT with stage 1 and 2 essential hypertension were included. After 4 weeks run in, a randomized double blind, three arms, double dummy, independent trial was used. All HT patients were randomly allocated to three treatment arms consisting of losartan (50 mg/daily),ramipril (5 mg/ daily) and combined (losartan 50 mg/daily plus ramipril 5 mg/daily) for 24 weeks. TGFb1, PIP and PIIIP, LVM, LVM/h 2.7 and other echocardiograph…
Growing a Project-Based Translation Pedagogy: A Fractal Perspective
2012
Le présent article propose un cheminement fractal à travers la psychologie et la philosophie éducative, avec l’intention de faire la lumière sur une représentation arborescente de sources d’inspiration interdisciplinaires et complémentaires pour une pédagogie de la traduction par projets. Commençant par la méthode d’apprentissage socioconstructiviste proposée au tournant du millénaire, notre propos tente de brosser un vaste portrait des influences synergiques sous-jacentes à l’approche émergente « holistique-expérientielle » de la formation en traduction. Le post-modernisme, l’énaction dans les sciences cognitives, la théorie de la complexité, la théorie éducative transformationnelle et l’é…
An Archimedean research theme: the calculation of the volume of cylindrical groins
2010
Starting from Archimedes’ method for calculating the volume of cylindrical wedges, I want to get to describe a method of 18th century for cilindrical groins thought by Girolamo Settimo and Nicolo di Martino. Several mathematicians studied the measurement of wedges, by applying notions of infinitesimal and integral calculus; in particular I examinated Settimo’s Treatise on cylindrical groins, where the author solved several problems by means of integrals.

Optimal recovery of a radiating source with multiple frequencies along one line
2020
We study an inverse problem where an unknown radiating source is observed with collimated detectors along a single line and the medium has a known attenuation. The research is motivated by applications in SPECT and beam hardening. If measurements are carried out with frequencies ranging in an open set, we show that the source density is uniquely determined by these measurements up to averaging over levelsets of the integrated attenuation. This leads to a generalized Laplace transform. We also discuss some numerical approaches and demonstrate the results with several examples.
