Silicone elastomers have been shown to be well-suited for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), mainly due their unique combination of properties such as, high elasticity and reliability, fast electromechanical response, thermal stability. 3D printing silicones can achieved by employing either costly sensitive metal catalysts, low-viscosity precursors with complex chemical structures that are sometimes difficult reproduce, or rheological modifiers incorporating reinforcing fillers (e.g.,...
Abstract The soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects can substantially alter the behaviour of structures during earthquakes. Implementation SSI within seismic analysis often leads to lower stresses in structure and therefore a more economical design. recently introduced provisions European American codes allow for this type approach. However, consideration also lead observation unfavourable (undetectable fixed-base analysis) due modification structure’s dynamic properties. Examples include...
Monitoring land surface deformation is one of the most reliable approaches that can be used to study, manage and forecast several geohazards (such as subsidence, landslide, sinkholes, etc.) linked either natural or anthropogenic driving forces. The importance such tools becomes more visible in urban environments where hazards would have aggravated consequences. Within this framework, a combined in-situ remote sensing monitoring approach, support physically based assessment deformations...
Abstract This article presents the effect of mechanical waves on an adjacent building due to rock blasting process during construction a tunnel. The is simulated using 3D finite element model. To reduce dynamic transmitted by underground work, different types trenches are analysed.
