Towards in-plane local defect resonance for non-destructive testing of polymers and composites

Abstract: Local defect resonance (LDR) makes use of high frequency vibrations to get a localized resonant activation of the defect. In this study, it is shown for various samples and damage features that the classical out-of-plane local defect resonance can be equally extended towards in-plane local defect resonance. It is found that the in-plane LDR typically occurs at higher frequencies, which is linked to the specific geometry of common defects. This increased frequency allows for a reduction in measurement time. More importantly, the results indicate that the in-plane LDR has an increased sensitivity for defects with dominant out-of-plane defect interfaces (e.g. surface breaking crack). Knowledge of both the out-of-plane and in-plane LDR provides further insight on the internal structure of a defective area. This is explicitly demonstrated on a carbon composite which was subjected to low velocity impact, inducing barely visible impact damage.

Programmable photonic circuits.

Abstract: The growing maturity of integrated photonic technology makes it possible to build increasingly large and complex photonic circuits on the surface of a chip. Today, most of these circuits are designed for a specific application, but the increase in complexity has introduced a generation of photonic circuits that can be programmed using software for a wide variety of functions through a mesh of on-chip waveguides, tunable beam couplers and optical phase shifters. Here we discuss the state of this emerging technology, including recent developments in photonic building blocks and circuit architectures, as well as electronic control and programming strategies. We cover possible applications in linear matrix operations, quantum information processing and microwave photonics, and examine how these generic chips can accelerate the development of future photonic circuits by providing a higher-level platform for prototyping novel optical functionalities without the need for custom chip fabrication. The current state of programmable photonic integrated circuits is discussed, including recent developments in their building blocks, circuit architectures, electronic control and programming strategies, as well as different application spaces.

A review of non-destructive testing methods of composite materials

Abstract: A review provided about non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for the evaluation of composites. The review considers the capabilities of most common methods in composite NDT applications such as Visual Testing (VT or VI), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Thermography, Radiographic Testing (RT), Electromagnetic Testing (ET), Acoustic Emission (AE), and Shearography Testing with respect to advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Then, methods categorized based on their intrinsic characteristics and their applications.

A review on stereolithography and its applications in biomedical engineering

Abstract: Stereolithography is a solid freeform technique (SFF) that was introduced in the late 1980s Although many other techniques have been developed since then, stereolithography remains one of the most powerful and versatile of all SFF techniques It has the highest fabrication accuracy and an increasing number of materials that can be processed is becoming available In this paper we discuss the characteristic features of the stereolithography technique and compare it to other SFF techniques The biomedical applications of stereolithography are reviewed, as well as the biodegradable resin materials that have been developed for use with stereolithography Finally, an overview of the application of stereolithography in preparing porous structures for tissue engineering is given
