Experimental analysis of acoustical properties of irregular cavities using laser refracto-vibrometry
2018
International audience; In this paper, the Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (SLDV) is used to measure acoustic pressure in small regions of cavities for the study of acoustical localization. It is shown that this optical method leads to interesting information on localized acoustical modes inside irregular cavities, which are very difficult to observe using conventional microphone measurements. Indeed, localization regions are often of comparable size or even smaller than a typical microphone which can make this type of sensor intrusive. The SLDV is used to measure sound pressure after deriving the refracto-vibrometry method from its standard use. Data are obtained in a large area with a h…
The use of non-cavitating coupling fluids for intensifying sonoelectrochemical processes
2020
Abstract For the first time, we have investigated the beneficial effects of non-cavitating coupling fluids and their moderate overpressures in enhancing mass-transfer and acoustic energy transfer in a double cell micro-sonoreactor. Silicon and engine oils of different viscosities were used as non-cavitating coupling fluids. A formulated monoethylene glycol (FMG), which is a regular cooling fluid, was also used as reference. It was found that silicon oil yielded a maximum acoustic energy transfer (3.05 W/cm2) from the double jacketed cell to the inner cell volume, at 1 bar of coupling fluid overpressure which was 2.5 times higher than the regular FMG cooling fluid. It was also found that the…
Compressive behavior of FRP externally wrapped R.C. column with buckling effects of longitudinal bars
2018
Abstract In this paper, a calculation model to simulate the compressive behavior of R.C. columns with square cross-sections externally wrapped with FRP, including buckling effects of the longitudinal bars and reduction of the confinement pressure induced by the buckled compressed bars, is presented and discussed. The model distinguishes the cases of corner and side bars, calculating the different critical lengths and the critical loads. The Teng et al. (2009) model was adopted to predict the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete, and the Dhakal and Maekawa (2002) model was taken into account to predict the compressive behavior of longitudinal bars. The critical length and critical s…
Experimental and theoretical Stark broadening studies of the hydrogen Paschen beta line.
2002
Experimental and theoretical Stark broadening studies of the Paschen beta line of hydrogen (lambda=1.28 microm) are reported. Line shape measurements were performed at electron densities of the plasma between 3.5 x 10(15) cm(-3) and 7.5 x 10(15) cm(-3), applying as the light source a wall-stabilized arc operated at atmospheric pressure in a helium-hydrogen gas mixture. The radiation of the plasma, emitted from nearly homogeneous plasma layers in the end-on direction, was registered with the use of a grating spectrometer equipped with a charge coupled device detector. The measured light outputs were calibrated against signals obtained from a tungsten strip radiation standard. The experimenta…
Mechanisms Involved by Reactive Elements upon High Temperature Chromia Scale Growth
2001
The influence of Y 2 O 3 , Pr 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 , Sm 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 coatings on Fe-30Cr alloy oxidation behaviour was investigated at 1000°C in air under atmospheric pressure. Isothermal exposures indicated that the Y 2 O 3 coating was the most protective after 100 hours. Pr 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 and Sm 2 O 3 coatings were less effective, but the less beneficial effect was observed when Yb 2 O 3 coating was applied onto the Fe-Cr alloy surface. Two-stage oxidation experiments in 16 O 2 and then 18 O 2 were performed to get information about the chromia growth phenomena with and without reactive elements. The 18 O-tracer distribution was determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and…
High temperature reactivity of nickel aluminide diffusion coatings
2008
Abstract The high-temperature oxidation behaviour of nickel aluminides has been studied at 900 °C in air under atmospheric pressure. Yttria doped and undoped specimens of nickel were aluminised and then oxidised for 100 h under isothermal and cycling conditions. The results showed that when yttria is added by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition technique prior to the aluminisation process, it increased the oxidation rate of aluminised nickel, but improved the oxide scale adherence under cyclic conditions. The effects of yttria on the scale morphology, oxidation behaviour and scale spallation tendency are discussed based on the experimental results, using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanni…
Experimental studies of longitudinal demixing of plasma components in a wall-stabilized arc

We report observations of demixing effects caused by the electric field in a wall-stabilized arc operated at atmospheric pressure in helium with small admixture of CO 2 introduced in the central part of the arc column.
Quantification of Plasma Sprayed Coating Adhesion Using Pulsed Laser Induced Decohesion Technique
2001
Abstract The aim of the present study is to compare a laser ultrasonic technique with a conventional indentation test for the determination of intrinsic properties and the adhesion of alumina coatings, of different thicknesses (30–350 µm), deposited on stainless steel substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). For this purpose, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to irradiate the coated specimens, and the ultrasonic waves generated by the laser are recorded at the epicenter using a laser interferometer. In the thermoelastic regime, the good agreement between the experiment and computation allows determination of the longitudinal wave velocity as well as the Young's modulus of the oxide coat…
Influence of Axial Pressure on the Electrical Properties of Li0.06Na0.94NbO3 Ceramic
2011
Lead-free ceramic Li0.06Na0.94NbO3 was synthesized using a conventional solid-state processing. The single-phase perovskite structure was identified by X-ray powder diffraction technique. The values of lattice parameters of Li0.06Na0.94NbO3 are lower than those for pure NaNbO3. The EDS analysis shows the fairly homogeneous distribution of all elements throughout the grains. An axial pressure significantly influences electric properties. With increasing pressure the peak intensity in the ϵ(T) curve decreases, the peak becomes diffused and shifts to a lower temperature. The value of tanδ increases with increasing axial pressure and its local maximum shifts towards lower temperatures.
