Laser Ultrasonics Inspection for Defect Evaluation on Train Wheel
2019
Abstract Passengers’ safety and in-service life of wheelset axles play an important role in railway vehicles. For this reason, periodic inspections are necessary. Among non-destructive techniques, ultrasonic ones are widely applied in this field. The main disadvantage of conventional ultrasonic techniques is that the overall inspection of wheels requires the train to be put out-of-service and disassembly each part, which is time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, a non-conventional non-contact laser ultrasonic inspection for train wheels is proposed. The proposed method uses a laser interferometer to receive the ultrasonic wave without contact. The receiving system allows choosing the …
New fine structures resolved at the ELNES Ti-L2,3 edge spectra of anatase and rutile: comparison between experiment and calculation.
2010
Abstract Anatase and rutile Ti- L 2,3 edge spectra were measured in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) coupled to a CEOS Cs-probe corrector, an omega-type monochromator and an in-column omega-type energy filter fully corrected for 2nd order aberrations. Thanks to the high energy resolution, high electron probe current and high stability achieved under this instrumental configuration, new fine structures, never reported before, were resolved at the L 3 band of both rutile and anatase. The data suggest that new peaks also exist in the L 2 e g band. The experimental spectra are compared with multichannel multiple scattering (MMS) calculation…
Exploring the transport properties of equatorially low coordinated erbium single ion magnets
2019
Single-molecule spin transport represents the lower limit of miniaturization of spintronic devices. These experiments, although extremely challenging, are key to understand the magneto-electronic properties of a molecule in a junction. In this context, theoretical screening of new magnetic molecules provides invaluable knowledge before carrying out sophisticated experiments. Herein, we investigate the transport properties of three equatorially low-coordinated erbium single ion magnets with C3v symmetry: Er[N(SiMe3)2]3 (1), Er(btmsm)3 (2) and Er(dbpc)3 (3), where btmsm=bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl and dbpc=2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresolate. Our ligand field analysis, based on previous spectros…

Key factors towards a high-quality additive manufacturing process with ABS material
2019
Abstract Additive Manufacturing technologies have gained a lot of popularity during the past years. The current challenge being the transition of this manufacturing technology from prototype oriented towards mass production. In order to achieve this, fabrication times and mechanical parameters must be improved. This paper aims to identify which are the parameters that have the highest influence on parts obtained with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology from ABS material. In addition, this study identifies which are the most accurate methods to test the mechanical properties of FDM parts while still respecting ASTM standard for testing the tensile properties of plastics. It was found …
Cold gas dynamic spray additive manufacturing today: Deposit possibilities, technological solutions and viable applications
2017
This paper reports the current potentials of cold gas dynamic spraying (CGDS). CGDS has been significantly developed to produce several functional solutions categorized as follows: deposits with a single powder nature, composites-based deposits, nanotechnological deposits and hybrid coating/substrate assemblies. CGDS process has improved in proficiency and is still gaining attention from scientists and industry. Covering a wide range of materials, both standard and advanced, this additive manufacturing process offers substantial applications for surface functionalization, structural or dimensional restoration, bulk production providing specific material properties, and art/decoration. Progr…

2018
The study investigates the microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties of (1–x)BaTiO3–xCaTiO3 ((1–x)BT–xCT)) (x = 0.01, 0.04, 0.08) samples. The BT–CT system to be tested was formed as a soli...
Spark Plasma Sintering à partir de poudres mécaniquement activées : compréhension des transitions de phase au cours d'un frittage réactif
2007
International audience; À " basse température " (entre 400 et 600 ◦C), l'oxydation de MoSi2 entraîne sa désintégration en poudre (phénomène de " peste "). De récents travaux ont montré que l'utilisation de MoSi2 dense et nano-organisé permettrait de ralentir ce phénomène de " peste ". Le défi de produire des matériaux denses et nano-organisés peut être relevé par le frittage " flash " réactif sous champ électrique à partir des poudres mécaniquement activées (Mechanically-Activated Spark Plasma Sintering, MASPS). Le contrôle de la composition et de la microstructure du composé intermétallique MoSi2 nécessite de déterminer les paramètres du frittage SPS (température, rampe de montée en tempér…
