Fatigue crack propagation from a cold-worked hole
2007
Abstract The cold expansion process is widely used to enhance the fatigue life of structures with fastener holes. Various studies assert that the cold expansion improves the fatigue strength of fastener holes; however, the improvement of fatigue life is difficult to quantify. Therefore, the influence on fatigue life of cold-worked process was studied by numerical and experimental tests. Then, a parametric study on material hardening behavior and Bauschinger’s parameter was performed for several loading conditions in order to determine their effect on crack growth propagation. The results of the numerical tests have exhibited a good prediction of the fatigue life of the component.
Amplification of Interstory Drift and Velocity for the Passive Control of Structural Vibrations
2008
Mitigation of structural damage due to earthquake ground motion may be performed by inserting dampers in the structure. In order to enhance the damping effect various toggle brace configurations have been recently proposed. In this paper these equipments are analyzed in detail and compared with a new one here proposed. The analysis is performed by taking into account the inherent nonlinearities of the damper by means of stochastic analysis and validated by using time histories of recorder accelerograms and by the stochastic analysis using spectrum consistent power spectral density.
Raynaud-Phänomen bei einer beruflichen Vibrationsbelastung
2013
Anamnese und klinischer Befund: Eine 34-jahrige Steinmetzin wurde mit der Fragestellung eines vibrationsbedingten vasospastischen Syndroms (VVS) begutachtet. Ihre Hande waren langjahrig gegenuber den hochfrequenten Schwingungen verschiedener Werkzeuge exponiert gewesen. Die Patientin berichtete uber Weisfingeranfalle an den Langfingern, die bei Kalte aufgetreten waren. Der korperliche Befund war zu diesem Zeitpunkt regelrecht. Untersuchungen: Der Kaltwasserprovokationstest zeigte an den Langfingern der rechten Hand eine leicht verzogerte Wiedererwarmung; die Kapillarmikroskopie der Finger war regelrecht. Diagnose und Verlauf: Das leichtgradige Raynaud-Phanomen wurde als Berufskrankheit der …
On the Study of Resonance Interactions and Splittings in the PH3 Molecule: ν1, ν3, ν2+ν4, and 2ν4 Bands
2002
International audience; The high-resolution (0.005 cm−1) Fourier transform infrared spectrum of PH3 is recorded and analyzed in the region of the fundamental stretching bands, ν1 and ν3. The ν2 + ν4 and 2ν4 bands are taken into account also. Experimental transitions are assigned to the ν1, ν3, ν2 + ν4, and 2ν4 bands with the maximum value of quantum number J equal to 15, 15, 13, and 15, respectively. a1–a2 splittings are observed and described up to the value of quantum number K equal to 10. The analysis of a1/a2 splittings is fulfilled with a Hamiltonian model which takes into account numerous resonance interactions among all the upper vibrational states
Heme symmetry, vibronic structure, and dynamics in heme proteins: ferrous nicotinate horse myoglobin and soybean leghemoglobin.
2000
We report the visible and Soret absorption bands, down to cryogenic temperatures, of the ferrous nicotinate adducts of native and deuteroheme reconstituted horse heart myoglobin in comparison with soybean leghemoglobin-a. The band profile in the visible region is analyzed in terms of vibronic coupling of the heme normal modes to the electronic transition in the framework of the Herzberg–Teller approximation. This theoretical approach makes use of the crude Born–Oppenheimer states and therefore neglects the mixing between electronic and vibrational coordinates; however, it takes into account the vibronic nature of the visible absorption bands and allows an estimate of the vibronic side bands…
Vibrational modes of the stibine molecule
2005
International audience; In this paper, we use the algebraic approach to describe the vibrational modes of stibine molecule (of C3v molecular symmetry group) up to 21 quanta. As the stibine molecule exhibits stretch-bend resonances, we build an algebraic pyramidal coupling operator between stretching modes and bending modes adapted to this molecule. The standard deviation associated to the fit of the vibrational levels is 1.75 cm-1.
Photonic nanopatterns of gold nanostructures indicate the excitation of surface plasmon modes of a wavelength of 50-100 nm by scanning near-field opt…
2003
Scanning near-field optical microscopy images of metal nanostructures taken with the tetrahedral tip (T-tip) show a distribution of dark and bright spots at distances in the order of 25-50 nm. The images are interpreted as photonic nanopatterns defined as calculated scanning near-field optical microscopy images using a dipole serving as a light-emitting scanning near-field optical microscopy probe. Changing from a positive to a negative value of the dielectric function of a sample leads to the partition of one spot into several spots in the photonic nanopatterns, indicating the excitation of surface plasmons of a wavelength in the order of 50-100 nm in metal nanostructures.
Scanning probe microscopies applied to the study of the domain wall in a ferroelectric crystal.
2007
Summary Scanning near-field optical microscopy is capable of measuring the topography and optical signals at the same time. This fact makes this technique a valuable tool in the study of materials at nanometric scale and, in particular, of ferroelectric materials, as it permits the study of their domains structure without the need of chemical etching and, therefore, not damaging the surface (as will be demonstrated later). We have measured the scanning near-field optical microscopy transmission, as well as the topography, of an RbTiOPO4 single crystalline slab, which exhibits two different of macroscopic ferroelectric domains. A chemical selective etching has been performed to distinguish b…
Application of micro Raman spectroscopy to industrial FC membranes
2007
Raman spectra of as-received and protonated membranes (Nafion® NRE-212, Fumapem® F-14100 and Fumasep® FAA) were measured with He-Cd and Ar laser. For the first time the Raman and IR spectra are reported of Fumasep membranes. Most of peaks in vibration spectra active in Raman and IR of membranes are interpreted with C-F, C-S, C-O-C, SO3, C-C bonds. The vibration region connected with protons and H-O bond in both types of membranes is found in Raman and IR spectra.
Path integral solution by fractional calculus
2008
In this paper, the Path Integral solution is developed in terms of complex moments. The method is applied to nonlinear systems excited by normal white noise. Crucial point of the proposed procedure is the representation of the probability density of a random variable in terms of complex moments, recently proposed by the first two authors. Advantage of this procedure is that complex moments do not exhibit hierarchy. Extension of the proposed method to the study of multi degree of freedom systems is also discussed.
