    Vibration energy is abundantly present in many natural and artificial systems and can be assembled by various devices, mainly employing benefits of the piezoelectric and electromagnetic phenomena. In the present article, ...

  • Fracture toughness to understand stretch-flangeability and edge cracking resistance in AHSS 

    Casellas Padró, Daniel; Lara, Antoni; Frómeta Gutiérrez, David; Gutierrez Castillo, David; Molas Busquets, Sílvia; Pérez Caro, Lluís; Rehrl, Johannes; Suppan, Clemens (2016-10-20)
    Article
    Open Access
    The edge fracture is considered as a high risk for automotive parts, especially for parts made of advanced high strength steels (AHSS). The limited ductility of AHSS makes them more sensitive to the edge damage. The ...

    In this study, the influence of corrosion on the mechanical response and damage induced under Hertzian indentation is assessed for three cemented carbides with metallic binders of different chemical nature. Corrosion ...

  • Kinetics and products of air plasma induced oxidation in water of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam treated individually and in mixture 

    Tampieri, Francesco; Durighello, Alessandro; Biondo, Omar; Gasior, Marcelina; Knys, Aleksandra; Marotta, Ester; Paradisi, Cristina (2019-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    Imidacloprid (I) and thiamethoxam (T) are widely used neonicotinoid insecticides with high persistence in the environment and thus included in the watch list of substances for European Union-wide monitoring reported in the ...

  • Analysis of aberrations effect in nonlinear processes for femtosecond laser pulses 

    Romero Altimis, C.; Gualda Manzano, Emilio José; Artal Soriano, Pablo; Bueno García, Juan Manuel; Borrego Varillas, Rocío; Alonso Fernández, Benjamín; Méndez Valverde, Cruz; Rodríguez Vázquez de Aldana, Javier; Roso Franco, Luis (Optical Society of American (OSA), 2009)
    Conference report

    A method for the analysis and control of femtosecond pulse wavefronts generated in non-linear crystals by three-wave mixing processes is presented. The possibility to improve the efficiency of these processes is discussed.

  • Nonlinear 3D microscopy of ex vivo corneas 

    Gualda Manzano, Emilio José; Artal Soriano, Pablo; Bueno García, Juan Manuel
    Conference report
    Open Access
    A multiphoton microscope has been developed to investigate the sources of nonlinear fluorescence (TPEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) in non-stained samples of ex-vivo corneas. Stacks of images from different depths ...

  • Comparison of Shack-Hartmann sensor and point diffraction interferometer for wavefront aberration analysis
