Structural Determination of Silica-Based Fire-Proof Heat Insulation

Oya N., Kawajiri Y., Kitajima H., Matsumoto K., Sugiura K., Imae K., Imae Y., Imae K., Imae Y., Osaka Prefectural College of Technology, JP

There are urgent needs for fire-proof heat insulations that are particularly used for protection of electric cables in critical power plants. Those insulations must provide sufficient coverages to enormously long cables and even have reduced [...]

Modeling and Simulation of a Stiffness-Controlled Micro-Bridge Resonator

Verjus F., Bourouina T., Belhaire E., Mauduit N., Bosseboeuf A., IEF-CNRS, FR

This paper deals with the modelin and simulation of electrical stiffness control of a micro-bridge. Stiffness variations are obtained by compressive stresses that result from Joule heating. The micro-bridge is slaved to resonance in order [...]
