Probabilistic S-N curves for constant and variable amplitude

Alain Nussbaumer, Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista, António José Luís dos Reis

Welded details in steel bridges are subjected to fatigue lives up to 200.10(6) cycles due to traffic loads. While the majority of these stress ranges are below the Constant Amplitude Fatigue Limit (CAFL), some few high stress cycles can trigger the start o ...

Fixed and mobile-bearing total ankle prostheses: Effect on tibial bone strain

Alexandre Terrier, Xavier Crevoisier, Caroline Sieger Fernandes, Maïka Réane Guillemin

Background Total ankle replacement is associated to a high revision rate. To improve implant survival, the potential advantage of prostheses with fixed bearing compared to mobile bearing is unclear. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis th ...

Elastomers with tunable dielectric and electromechanical properties

Frank Nüesch

Novel electroresponsive silicone elastomers modified with nitrile groups are presented, whose dielectric permittivity (epsilon') is tuned from epsilon' = 4.3 to epsilon' = 17.4. They are prepared in a one-step process starting from a high molecular weight ...

Aramid/glass fiber-reinforced thermal break - thermal and structural performance

Thomas Keller, Kyriaki Goulouti, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest

Energetically weak points in thermally insulated building envelopes are formed by thermal breaks that are implemented to structurally connect external balconies to internal slabs. Current thermal breaks comprise stainless steel bars that penetrate the insu ...
