Supersonic Laser Deposition of Tungsten
(2014)Near fully dense tungsten coatings onto molybdenum substrates have been demonstrated using the Supersonic Laser Deposition (SLD) process. This is a characteristic that is not readily achievable with ... -
Supporting robust and climate-sensitive adaptation strategies for infrastructure networks: A multi-hazard case study on Mozambique's healthcare sector
(2023)As climate change causes more intense and frequent natural hazard events, decision makers are tasked to climate-proof vital infrastructure systems against these challenges. Adaptation studies often evaluate benefits of ... -
Surface Finish in Micro-drilling of PTFE
(2008)Surface finish of engineering components pl ays a key role in their functionality, particularly where the size of the geometric feat ures of the component decreases. This paper reports on such an application – the ... -
Surface Free Energy Dominates the Biological Interactions of Postprocessed Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V
(2022)Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a disruptive technique within healthcare because of its ability to provide personalized devices; however, printed metal parts still present surface and microstructural defects, ... -
Surface molecular alignment by in-plane anchoring in the cell showing the. V-shaped switching
(2001)The surface molecular alignment in a sandwich cell showing V-shaped switching has been investigated using a photocontrolling method. The results indicate that the molecules on the rubbed surface are aligned parallel to ... -
Surface states in optical spectra of two-dimensional photonic crystals with various surface terminations
(2012)Reflection and transmission spectra of two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs, fabricated by photoelectrochemical etching of deep macropores and trenches in Si, are investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is ... -
Surface Tamm states in a photonic crystal slab with asymmetric termination
(2013)The reflection and transmission spectra of a finite thickness 2D Photonic Crystal Slab (PCS) based on macroporous silicon are investigated. Periodic photonic crystal region is separated from air by homogeneous silicon ... -
Surface-induced multiple re-entrant transitions
(2006)We have studied tilted surface layers in the bulk SmA temperature window of one liquid crystal using null transmission ellipsometry. Five distinct nonplanar surface structures were observed. We present analyses of the tilt ... -
Surrogate infill criteria for operational fatigue reliability analysis
(2018)Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) fatigue damage is an intense, resource demanding task. While the current methodologies to design OWT to fatigue are quite limited in the way and amount of uncertainty they can ... -
Surrogate-based reliability analysis for noisy models
(2023)Reliability analysis ultimately aims at estimating the probability of failure of a system. In this context, limit-state functions represent the system performance, i.e., whether it fails or not, and consist of potentially ... -
Survival at the museum: A cooperation experiment with emotionally expressive virtual characters
(2018)Correctly interpreting an interlocutor's emotional expression is paramount to a successful interaction. But what happens when one of the interlocutors is a machine? The facilitation of human-machine communication and ... -
Sustainability of combined vacuum and surcharge preloading
(ASCE, Reston, VA, USA, 2014)This paper presents a review of combined vacuum consolidation and surcharge preloading which is arguably more sustainable approach to soft-soil ground improvement than other strategies in reducing post-construction ... -
Sustainability potential of risk-informed decisions in structural design
(2023)Structural design codes feature safety concepts that are highly generalized to make them simple and applicable to a large variety of structures at the same time. This leads to structures that are sufficiently safe but where ... -
Sustainable concrete with solely recycled and by-product constituents
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2021)Humans since ancient times have explored their surrounding materials throughout experiments and accumulated experience in the practice of construction, thereby recognizing the characteristics of building materials which ... -
Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy
(2022)The revitalisation of the global economy after the Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with the opportunity to reinforce the need for a change in paradigm towards a green, circular economy and to promote ...
