Diamond Particle Detectors for High Energy Physics
(2016)Nuclear and Particle Physics ProceedingsDiamond devices have now become ubiquitous in the LHC experiments, finding applications in beam background monitoring and luminosity measuring systems. This sensor material is now maturing to the point that the large pads in existing diamond detectors are being replaced by highly granular tracking devices, in both pixel and strip configurations, for detector systems that will be used in Run II at the LHC and beyond. The RD42 collaboration ...Conference Paper -
Development and Application of an Eco-design Tool for Machine Tools
(2016)Procedia CIRP ~ The 23rd CIRP Conference on Life Cycle EngineeringImproving the energy efficiency of machine tools is one of the challenges regarding the European energy saving goals. This work presents a new tool, enabling an effective quantification of a machine tool's (MT) energy consumption during all life phases. Scope of the presented tool is the fast and efficient estimation of a MT's cumulated energy demand and the systematic derivation of improvement measures regarding ecological performance. ...Conference Paper -
Post-Coating Treatment of Cutting Edge for Drilling Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP)
(2016)Procedia CIRP ~ 7th HPC 2016 – CIRP Conference on High Performance CuttingDrilling of highly abrasive carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) requires carbide tools with geometrical highly adaptable tool geometries andwear resistant diamond coatings. To counteract the tradeoff between long tool lifetime by preferably thick diamond layers leading to largecutting edge radii (bluntness), and the sharpest possible cutting edge to generate flawless machining qualities, the following ...Conference Paper -
Experiments towards resolving the proton charge radius puzzle
(2016)EPJ Web of ConferencesWe review the status of the proton charge radius puzzle. Emphasis is given to the various experiments initiated to resolve the conflict between the muonic hydrogen results and the results from scattering and regular hydrogen spectroscopy.Conference Paper -
Volumetric forest change detection through VHR satellite imagery
(2016)International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesQuick and economical ways of detecting of planimetric and volumetric changes of forest areas are in high demand. A research platform, called FORSAT (A satellite processing platform for high resolution forest assessment), was developed for the extraction of 3D geometric information from VHR (very-high resolution) imagery from satellite optical sensors and automatic change detection.This 3D forest information solution ...Conference Paper -

Infiltration-induced Slope Instability: a multi-scale approach
(2016)E3S Web of ConferencesPrecipitation, together with erosion and earthquakes, have been recognized as the main triggering factors of shallow landslides. However, there are relatively few well-documented cases where direct relationships could be established between occurrence and features of shallow landslides, the rainfall characteristics (e.g. intensity, duration) and water retention curves. A field experiment has been performed on a steep forested slope located ...Conference Paper -
Predicting the flow in the floodplains with evolving land occupations during extreme flood events (FlowRes ANR project)
(2016)E3S Web of Conferences ~ 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management (FLOODrisk 2016)Flood hazards (flow depth and velocity) must be accurately assessed in high-risk areas during extreme flood events. However, the prediction of the very high flows is not an easy task due to the lack of field data and to the strong link between flow resistance and the land occupation of the floodplain. Confinement and inhomogeneity in lateral and longitudinal directions of hydraulic roughness strongly vary with return period T. The physical ...Conference Paper -
Significance of the local sheet curvature in the prediction of sheet metal forming limits by necking instabilities and cracks
(2016)MATEC Web of Conferences ~ NUMIFORM 2016: The 12th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Industrial Forming ProcessesThe industrial based prediction in sheet metal forming bases still on the Forming Limit Diagrams (FLD) as formally proposed by Keeler 1. The FLD are commonly specified by the Nakajima tests and evaluated with the so called cross section method. Although widely used, the FLC concept has numerous serious limitations. In the paper the influences of bending on the FLC as well as the later crack limits will be discussed. Both criteria will be ...Conference Paper -
Accuracy assessment of underwater photogrammetric three dimensional modelling for coral reefs
(2016)International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesRecent advances in automation of photogrammetric 3D modelling software packages have stimulated interest in reconstructing highly accurate 3D object geometry in unconventional environments such as underwater utilizing simple and low-cost camera systems. The accuracy of underwater 3D modelling is affected by more parameters than in single media cases. This study is part of a larger project on 3D measurements of temporal change of coral ...Conference Paper
