Load-bearing hydrogels ionically reinforced through competitive ligand exchanges

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Ran Zhao, Mathias Steinacher

Fast advances in soft robotics and tissue engineering demand for new soft materials whose mechanical properties can be interchangeably and locally varied, thereby enabling, for example, the design of soft joints within an integral material. Inspired by nat ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

An Instrumented High-Speed Rotor with Embedded Telemetry for The Continuous Spatial Pressure Profile Measurement in Gas Lubricated Bearings: A Proof of Concept

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Pressure is one of the constitutional quantities governing the flow field in gas lubricated bearings. Knowledge of the pressure is of principal importance in the fundamental understanding of such bearings and for the calibration of reduced order models. Th ...

Extended Windage Loss Models for Gas Bearing Supported Spindles Operated in Dense Gases

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Kévin Rosset

Generic models are proposed to evaluate the skin friction coefficient acting on enclosed rotating disks and cylinders under various flow regimes. In particular, a model taking into account the inner radius of the disk is developed. The models are compared ...

A Review of Grooved Dynamic Gas Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Lili Gu

This paper offers an extensive review of publications dealing with the modeling, the design and the experimental investigation of grooved dynamic gas lubricated bearings. Recent years have witnessed a rise in small-scale and high-speed turbomachinery appli ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a Small-scale, High-speed, and Oil-free Radial Anode Off-gas Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner

The Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (LAMD) designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested a novel recirculation fan for a 10 kWe solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The fan uses oil-free bearings, more specifically herringbone-grooved journal and spi ...

Pressure Profile Measurements within The Gas Film of Journal Foil Bearings Using An Instrumented Rotor with Telemetry

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Foil bearings are strong candidates to support oil-free turbomachinery. Although foil bearings are a widely used technology, models describing their behavior are not validated using the film pressure, which is the fundamental variable of any fluid film bea ...

Advanced design methods and non-ideal gas lubrication applied to aerodynamic bearings

Eliott Philippe Guenat

Clean and energy-efficient turbomachinery are playing an increasingly important role in the decarbonization of heating systems, waste heat recovery and transportation, as the use of small-scale heat pumping and fuel cells spreads. Such machines typically e ...

Experimental investigation of strength, stiffness and drift capacity of rubble stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Amir Rezaie, Michele Godio

There is limited available research on rubble stone masonry walls, which are vulnerable under seismic loading. This paper presents an experimental campaign of cyclic shear compression tests on six large-scale walls of this topology. The effect of the axial ...

Strain and filler ratio transitions from chains network to filler network damage in EPDM during single and cyclic loadings

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz

Chains and filler network damage were investigated during single and multiple cycles on a series of vulcanized EPDM containing various filler contents. In both series of experiments, a strain and a filler ratio transitions for damage mechanisms were identi ...

Scale limitations of gas bearing supported turbocompressors for vapor compression cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

An analysis of single-stage centrifugal compressors supported on dynamic, gas lubricated bearings for driving vapor compression cycles suggests that the maximum feasible compressor power is limited, primarily by the bearing load capacity, in the range from ...
