Comparative analysis of the DFB fiber laser and fiber-optic interferometric strain sensors

, 2007
The DFB fiber laser strain sensor is shown to provide an improvement in the minimum detectable length change by a factor of 275 at 2 kHz for an applied strain when compared with an interferometric sensor interrogated by at equivalent DFB laser.

Recycling of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: Fundamental and Technological Aspects of a Vacuum Induction Melting Processing Route

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

Optimisation of short pulse multi-stage Yb fiber amplifier systems using commercial gain-modelling software

, 2006
We demonstrate the accuracy of commercial telecommunications industry software for modelling Yb-fiber amplifiers. Simulations enabled optimisation of a broad bandwidth ultra-short pulse four-stage amplifier system. The predicted results were confirmed by

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Optical network architectures for dynamic reconfiguration of full duplex, multiwavelength, radio over fiber

, 2006
In recent years there have been rapid advances in the techniques to generate and transport radio signals over optical fiber, but very little has been done to date to develop the concept of a full duplex, multiwavelength, radio-over-fiber network ...

New multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg grating sensors in the coherence domain

, 1997
A new multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg gratings in the coherence domain has been developed. Grating pairs with different grating distances are distributed along a fiber line, and interference between their reflections is monitored ...

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.
