Analysis of Dual-beam Asymmetrical Torsional Bi-Material Cantilever for Temperature Sensing Applications

open access: yes, 2012
An extremely sensitive temperature measurement MEMS device is developed based on the principle of structural deflection in a bi-material cantilever caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficients. A dual-beam asymmetrical geometry is used to produce a torsional response from the device.

Influence of the Boundary Conditions on the Seismic Response of Existing Masonry Infills From In‐Plane and Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...

Recycled Polyacrylonitrile Nanofiber Interleaves With Graphene Nanoplatelets for Adhesively Bonded Composite Joints: Lap‐Shear and Opening‐Mode Fracture Performance

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Textile‐waste Orlon is transformed into recycled PAN nanofiber interleaves for tougher and more damage‐resistant adhesive bondlines. ABSTRACT This study presents a sustainable toughening strategy for adhesively bonded CFRP joints by using electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber interleaves produced from virgin PAN (vPAN) and recycled PAN (rPAN ...

Interferometric Vector Piezoresponse Force Microscopy for Simultaneous Ferroelectric Domain and Crystallographic Orientation Mapping in Uniaxial Ferroelectric Polycrystals

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Interferometric vector piezoresponse force microscopy is used to reconstruct crystallographic grain orientations in polycrystalline ferroelectrics directly from local electromechanical response. The approach reveals grain orientation, polarization direction, and domain structure simultaneously, establishing a pathway toward EBSD‐like orientation ...

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

Effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy of peri‐implant mucositis: A systematic review

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This systematic review intends to respond to the question: “How do clinical parameters change in implants affected by peri‐implant mucositis following different non‐surgical treatment approaches or no treatment in patients monitored for a minimum of six months?” Materials and Methods A search for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or

A review of scientific and grey literature on medicine shortages and the need for a research agenda in Operations and Supply Chain Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
High-income countries are facing a significant and worsening drug shortage problem. This position paper argues that operations and supply chain management (OSCM) could (and perhaps should) be used more widely to help address this issue: 1) the problem ...

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
