En este libro propongo una visión histórica y pedagógica del viaje al centro del átomo. Utilizando fuentes de los protagonistas y esquemas explicativos, empiezo con su discusión en la antigüedad, salto a su inicio a finales del siglo XIX, continúo con la carrera que lo aceleró alrededor de las guerras mundiales, y concluyo con las perspectivas que ...
A novel analytical investigation of circumferential (i.e. torsional) wave propagation in long anisotropic cylindrical rod (waveguide), surrounded by a viscoelastic fuid is proposed. The material is transversely isotropic, with its symmetry axis coincident with the axial axis of the cylindrical rod. In particular, a new form of the complex dispersio...
A novel approach based on the exact theory has been developed to accurately predict the behavior of surface Love wave propagating in elastic waveguide loaded on its surface with a viscoelastic fluid. A detailed study was conducted by varying key parameters such as operating frequency, waveguide and substrate. The waveguide surface was subjected to ...
The present article is connected to the study of a bituminous mixture (BM) material, used on modern railway track as sub-ballast layer. Influence of size and volume fraction of rigid monodisperse spherical inclusions, randomly packed into a hyperelastic matrix, on the mechanical behavior of an obtained composite structure was investigated using ‘‘V...
A restricted nonlinear (RNL) model, obtained by partitioning the state variables into streamwise-averaged quantities and superimposed perturbations, is used in order to track the exact coherent state in plane channel flow investigated by Toh & Itano (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 481, 2003, pp. 67–76). When restricting nonlinearities to quadratic interactio...
Understanding fatigue damage mechanisms in short fiber reinforced thermoplastics is a key issue in order to optimize material processing and propose physically based multiscale fatigue damage models. The present work aims at further understanding observations of fatigue damage in the polyamide 6.6 matrix with respect to its semi-crystalline structu...
La majorité des patients atteints d'un cancer sont soignés par la technique de la radiothérapie, l'une des trois principales modalités de traitement avec la chirurgie et la chimiothérapie. Elle consiste en la délivrance d'une radiation de haute énergie sur un volume cible. Son but est de détruire les cellules cancéreuses sans endommager les tissus ...
Le thème des grandeurs et mesures à l'école primaire en France est un thème partagé entre l'enseignement des mathématiques et celui des sciences expérimentales. Son importance réside dans sa participation à la construction du concept du nombre chez les jeunes élèves, et à la compréhension de la nature des sciences et de la démarche expérimentale. D...
