An accelerometer detects acceleration and tilt of a device. There are several areas where accelerometers are in use, e.g. aerospace, navigation, automotive industry, electronic gadgets etc. According to different working principle, there are different types of accelerometer, e.g. piezo ...

Soil sedimentation and consolidation, whether they are naturally or anthropically driven processes, are closely interconnected. While theoretical models are available to separately describe the behaviour of either ‘fluid’ suspensions or ‘solid’ soil, no well-established unified theory ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Lausanne last year won the 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the team will participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX facilities California. Reliability of the different subsystems constituting the pod is a key point. ... Read More
Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ... Read More
Temperature homogeneity is a critical issue for high temperature vacuum furnaces for heat treatment, as small temperature variations in the load volume can significantly influence the heat treatment result. It is generally defined by the so-called Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) ... Read More
In nanofluid delivery, backflow along the needle is a major hurdle to deliver drug-carrying nanofluid to the entire tumor. In theory, any approaches to decrease the overall flow resistance in tumors would facilitate drug delivery. The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical ... Read More
The goal of this study is to exploit the phase change in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) for optical sensing. Infrared (IR) sensing is of paramount interest for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to enable low-energy consumption sensors, ... Read More
The experience of the eruption in Montserrat in 1997 has shown that the resistance of openings of buildings represents a crucial factor in the evaluation of vulnerability to the stresses caused by pyroclastic flows, although the static nature of the building itself is not compromised. ... Read More
A key challenge in the design of medical devices that interface with blood is to minimize the likelihood of blood damage. Simulating blood flow through a medical device and estimating the likelihood of blood damage is a key step to improving performance and safety, thereby expediting ... Read More
This article reports the design of a high-power ultrasound system, capable of emitting acoustic radiation at 20kHz with SPL peaks up to 160dB at a distance of up to 1m. The main problem of high power airborne ultrasonic systems lies in the acoustic impedance mismatch between the radiator ... Read More
