Supercontinuum generation with 532 nm quasi-continuum pulses in photonic crystal fibre tapers
2007
We report experimental results on supercontinuum generation in PCF tapers using quasi-continuous pump pulses of 7 ns duration at 532 nm. SC generation in normal and anomalous dispersion regimes are presented. Introduction Supercontinuum generation (SC) in photonic crystal fibres (PCF), fibre tapers, and PCF tapers has been demonstrated in the past with pump pulses of fs, ps, and tenths of ns duration [1-2]. Here, we present experimental results on SC generation in PCF tapers using quasi-continuous pump pulses of 7 ns duration at 532 nm. Fabrication of the PCF tapers The PCF from which the tapers were made, was a large-air-hole PCF ("cobweb" PCF) with two rings of air holes around a solid si…
Numerical Analysis of Bearing Capacity of a Ring Footing on Geogrid Reinforced Sand
2021
A ring footing is found to be of practical importance in supporting symmetrical constructions for example silos, oil storage container etc. In the present paper, numerical analysis was carried out with explicit code FLAC3D 7.0 to investigate bearing capacity of a ring footing on geogrid reinforced sand. Effects of the ratio n of its inner/outer diameter (Di/D) of a ring footing, an optimum depth to lay the geogrid layer were examined. It was found that an intersection zone was developed in soil under inner-side (aisle) of ring footing, contributing to its bearing capacity. Substantial increase of bearing capacities could be realized if ratio n of a ring footing was around 0.6. Numerical res…
