We report laser micro-fabrication of photonic crystal structures in silica glass and photopolymerizing resins, and present a detailed analysis of their structural and optical properties. Photonic crystals with 2D triangular lattice and 3D diamond lattice in glass are found to exhibit moderately pronounced photonic pseudogaps. Formation of planar microcavity is demonstrated in log-pile 3D photon...

A crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) model has been developed to investigate the mechanical properties and micro-texture evolution of single-crystal aluminum induced by a sharp Berkovich indenter. The load-displacement curves, pile-up patterns and lattice rotation angles from simulation are consistent with the experimental results. The pile-up phenomenon and lattice rotation have ...

The performance of the analogue signal processing filter implemented in the front-end readout chip for the CMS Micro Strip Gas Chambers is evaluated for tracks with incidence angle up to 45 degrees. The impact on efficiency, bunch crossing pile-up and signal to noise is quantified using Monte Carlo generated events simulating isolated hits in MSGC modules described according to the CMS baseline...

To study the formation mechanism of lower shaft resistance uplift piles compared to compression piles, additional stress caused by and compressive in soil is obtained through indoor model tests with embedded micro earth pressure cells. The shows that pile has an unloading effect side soil, a loading soil. Closer point, becomes more obvious. decreases pile, increases pile. also reveal distributi...

Abstract Rock-socket pile design predominantly depends on the shaft resistance to support load at serviceability state. However, due limited understanding of pile–rock interactions, capacity is normally calculated using empirical correlations. In this study, load-bearing mechanisms rock-socketed piles were investigated through a miniaturised pile–load test setup in soft synthetic rock. X-ray CT...

This article presents the methods, results, and precision of the syntactic annotation process of the Rhapsodie Treebank of spoken French. The Rhapsodie Treebank is an 33,000 word corpus annotated for prosody and syntax, licensed in its entirety under Creative Commons. The syntactic annotation contains two levels: a macro-syntactic level, containing a segmentation into illocutionary units (inclu...

To investigate the treatment effect of micro-piles on uplift deformation red-bedded soft rock subgrade, an in-situ static load test slurry injected steel pipe with different length was carried out, bearing capacity and characteristics were analyzed, transfer function pile lateral friction resistance modified consideration length. A numerical simulation method considering variable shear stiffnes...

In this paper, numerical analysis of a pile-soil interaction problem is presented considering the parameters influencing the axial load-deformation behavior of the pile embedded in a layered soil medium. The analysis is demonstrated with parametric solutions of a pile with underlain model soil strata under the axial force. An attempt is made to ascertain the extent of influence of elastic prope...

Using a series of model tests, this study investigated the effect of a passive pile on 3D ground deformation around a laterally loaded pile and on that laterally loaded pile's response in sand. The active pile head was subjected to lateral loads, and the passive pile was arranged in front of the active pile. In the model tests, the distance between the two pile centers was set to zero (i.e., a ...
