A new accelerated technique for validation of cyclic plasticity models

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
This contribution presents a new methodology of fatigue tests evaluation based on digital image correlation application. The full-field strain analysis brings the possibility of 3D strain measurement evaluation on a curved part of specimen standardly ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Axial and Biaxial Fatigue Behavior of 6061‐T651 Cold Metal Transfer Welded Joints

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aluminum structures in transportation systems are increasingly exposed to complex service loading, yet the fatigue performance of welded joints is still predominantly assessed using uniaxial data. In this work, the axial and biaxial fatigue behavior of 6061‐T651 aluminum alloy joints produced by cold metal transfer (CMT) welding is

Influence of Induction Hardening on Wear Resistance in Case of Rolling Contact

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering, 2016
The main aim of the presented paper is to show how heat treatment, in our case the induction hardening, will affect the wear rates as well as the ratcheting evolution process beneath the contact surface in the field of line rolling contact.

Marginal gap of printed, milled, and heat‐pressed two‐piece polyetheretherketone abutments before and after thermal cycling, and their pull‐off bond strength after thermal cycling

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the marginal gap of two‐piece polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments fabricated with different methods, before and after thermal cycling, while also focusing on their pull‐off bond strength. Materials and Methods A two‐piece abutment was virtually designed after digitizing a titanium‐base (Ti‐base) abutment.

Effects of scanner type and prosthesis design–luting protocol combinations on the passive fit of interim implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of scanner type and prosthesis design–luting protocol combinations on the passive fit of interim implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs) fabricated using a non‐calibrated splinting grammetry system (OptiSplint).

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity

open access: yesThe Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

Testing the Assumptions of History‐Dependent Approaches to Regulation: Comparing Compliant Companies With Those That Transgress

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk‐based approaches to regulatory governance are ubiquitous. One aspect of such approaches suggests regulators direct their attention towards companies that have already violated regulations. However, such approaches have made little use of available data to explore these companies, especially compared to companies that do not transgress ...
