Experimental–numerical calibration of the fracture locus of weathering steel
(WIT, 2019)Weathering steel, specifically Cor-Ten (or CORTEN) steel is a material particularly exploited in the last century for various outdoor applications e.g. bridges, building facades, artworks etc. In addition to a tensile ... -
Microscopic models for the study of economic inequality, tax evasion and welfare measures
(Department of Applied Science and Technology - Polytechnic of Turin, 2014)We formulate a family of models for the description of the micro-processes of money exchange, taxation and re-distribution in a closed market society. These models are expressed by systems of nonlinear differential equations ... -
Discretized kinetic theory on a network as a tool for the study of economic interactions
(Department of Applied Science and Technology - Polytechnic of Turin, 2014)The network of interpersonal connections is one of the main factors which affect the income distribution emerging from micro-to-macro models. In particular, the assortative or disassortative nature of the network could ... -
Hydrothermal Carbonization of Wet Biomass: a New Reactor Design for Continuous Lab Tests on the Three HTC Products
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)Hydrothermal carbonization (hereinafter, HTC) is an interesting thermochemical process through which wet biodegradable residues can be directly transformed into value added products. The main HTC products are the hydrochar, ... -
Digital output flexible tilt sensor with conductive microspheres
(IEEE, 2015)Recent advances in wearable computing ask for bendable and conformable electronic circuits and sensors, allowing an easy integration into everyday life objects. Here, we present a novel flexible tilt sensor on plastic using ... -
Thermodynamic model for the ash fraction behavior in biomass gasification using the cantera tool with the nasa polynomial approach
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)This work uses the open source thermodynamic tool Cantera® to model the biomass gasification process for high ash-content substrates (e.g. digestate). The ash fraction is described as the mixture of different chemical ... -
Design and simulation of a 800 Mbit/s data link for magnetic resonance imaging wearables
(IEEE, 2015)This paper presents the optimization of electronic circuitry for operation in the harsh electro magnetic (EM) environment during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. As demonstrator, a device small enough to be worn ... -
Improving the Robustness of Trajectory Tracking Dynamic Surface Control
(IEEE, 2019)Dynamic surface control (DSC) methods use first order filters to compute the derivatives of stabilizing functions developed through backstepping. The performance of trajectory tracking DSC controllers can become degraded ... -
Effect of water formation on the reaction enthalpy of the hydrothermal carbonization process
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)In this work, the effect of the water formation on the enthalpy change of the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process was assessed by the direct application of the Hess’s Law to HTC reactants and products. The data ... -
20.3dB 0.39mW AM Detector with Single-Transistor Active Inductor in Bendable a-IGZO TFT
(IEEE, 2016)This paper presents an AM detector circuit in a bendable a-IGZO TFT technology. The circuit is based on a common-source stage loaded with a single-ended active inductor, which uses only one active transistor. This active ... -
Integration of solution-processed (7,5) SWCNTs with sputtered and spray-coated metal oxides for flexible complementary inverters
(IEEE, 2015)We report the integration of solution-processed high-purity semiconducting (7,5) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with metal oxides for the fabrication of high-performance CMOS inverters on free-standing plastic ... -
Evaluation of the overall reaction enthalpy change of hydrothermal carbonization process by means of differential scanning calorimetry at high pressure
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)In this work, heat flux Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used coupled with high-pressure crucibles to evaluate the enthalpy change of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) applied to cellulose, wood, and digestate ... -
Energy-based interior mode selection for reduced-order models under harmonic excitation
(KU Leuven, 2014)This paper introduces a novel ranking method for the selection of the interior modes to be retained in the Craig-Bampton reduction, suitable for vibrating systems under single-or multi-harmonic excitation. The goal is to ... -
Non-contact long range AC voltage measurement
(IEEE, 2019)Safety requirements and physical constraints often prohibit contacting high voltage terminals. This limits the options for monitoring and maintaining high voltage machinery and power distribution grids. We present a ... -
Parametric and Generative Design Techniques for Process Efficiency in Building Industry: The Case Study of Glued Laminated Timber Industry
