Cochlea implants can help deef patients to regain hearing. The implants consist of a microphone, a speech processor and an electrode array implanted in the inner ear in order to directly excite the auditory nervs. Recently, an electrode array has been designed to be implanted without inner ear trauma aiming at combining rest hearing with the...

A new Nano Air Vehicle (NAV) configuration based on a coaxial nano rotor has been studied by ISAE. The coaxial rotor provides the thrust necessary for hovering and low speed translation flight. The major design challenge for rotary-wing NAVs is related to the difficulty of miniaturizing complex mechanisms such as a rotor cyclic pitch swashplate...

In this study, we exploit the ?PIV (microscale particle image velocimetry) analysis to investigate the internal flow field of a dividing droplet in a bifurcating microchannel. Herein, droplets are generated by a flow focusing scheme and sent downstream toward an asymmetric bifurcation. In order to control the proportion of split droplets, we...

In sports facilities, a grandstand is the structure which provides good sight quality and safety evacuation conditions for the spectators. Grandstand plays important functional and formative roles in sports facilities, and especially in large scale stadia. This paper argues the notion of shape grammar and its computer implementation will solve...

The gait of humans is often assumed to be the most energy efficient way of walking. Srinivasan and Ruina [18] confirm this hypothesis using a simple model in which the human is a point mass with straight legs that can change in length during a step. Their results show that the inverted pendulum walk is the most energy efficient gait. The...

In this talk we focus on the velocity fluctuations in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow for the case of stable flow (constant rotation) and for decaying flow. Turbulent flows are generally characterized by the range of scales of their fluctuations, and a statistical description of the flow is often done by calculating the correlations of...

In Taylor-Couette flow, the radius ratio ($\eta = r_i/r_o$) is one of the key parameters of the system. For small $\eta$, the asymmetry of the inner and outer boundary layer becomes more important, affecting the general flow structure and boundary layer characteristics. Using high-resolution particle image velocimetry we measure flow profiles...

We report experimental results on the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-size light particles in turbulence. Using an orthogonal camera setup and 3D particle tracking, we study the velocity and acceleration statistics of rigid light spheres in a water tunnel with nearly homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The Reynolds number (ReY) is varied from...

We investigate the double diffusive convection between two parallel plates with either no-slip or free-slip boundary conditions. Direct numerical simulations have been conducted systematically for a series of control parameters. Salt fingers can be observed for both boundary conditions and all parameters explored. Compared to the no-slip case,...

Compacted bentonite is often planned as an engineered barrier material between host rock and canister in nuclear waste disposal repositories thanks to its favourable swelling characteristics and low permeability. This study deals with the effects of initial dry density and vertical stress on the swelling behaviour of compacted bentonite under...

In recent years, the rapid industrialization and urbanization led to the explosive growth of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ashes (BA) production. However, most of them are directly landfilled, which not only brings environmental burden but also results in loss of potential resources. Present researches have proved that MSWI BA...

With freshwater getting scares seawater, i.e., water containing NaCl, can become the only viable option for making concrete. Although a lot of research had been directed to understanding the role of water in cement hydration, not much is known about the interaction of the Na+ and Cl- with cement paste during drying. A problem is that available...

Bleeding can be described as water coming out from fresh cement paste, which not only affects the homogeneity at fresh stage but also decides the hardened state structure. Previous studies have focused on the determination or simulation of the bleeding extent of fresh cement paste and give objective conclusions. However, there are rare...

Alkali-activated materials(AAM) are known to be environmentally friendly alternatives to cement-based materials because they can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reutilize industrial by-products. However, the application of AAM is still limited by the lack of mixture design regulation. Unlike cement, the very different chemical...

As an internal curing material, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can effectively reduce the risk of volume shrinkage of cement-based materials. By preparing the cement paste mixed with SAPs, the amount of pre-absorbed water and the water-cement ratio of paste on the water absorption-release behavior in the fresh cement paste were studied by using...

Characteristics of fly ash(FA) blended mortars (50%, 70% and 90%) at different curing ages (28 days and 180 days) under ammonium chloride solution(ACS) leaching were investigated. Mass loss under leaching, initial CaO content, Ca(OH)2 content(CH), content of chemical bonded water, and hydration degree of blended pastes were tested by XRF and DSC...

Many immigrants from rural areas pour into urban areas, especially in China, and urban development faces the challenges to provide sufficient space for citizens’ acommodation, works and social contacts. So 3D development and use of land and city space become the reality with various complex buildings and constructions with modern architecture...

With the increased interest and demand for 3D property, 3D property formation has shown increased significance. It is important to provide efficient, clear and unambiguous methods to form 3D property units, as well as register 3D property RRRs (rights, restrictions and responsibilities). The 3D property formation process should facilitate...
