AbstractThe structural evolution of Au/Ni multilayers (with an increasing number of Ni monolayers (MLs)) has been investigated by HREM. As soon as the thickness of Ni becomes larger than 5 MLs, a structural change occurs which in fact has been predicted by numerical simulations. The deformation in the multilayer has been characterised by HREM image processing and has been related to the Ni profile. This profile has been compared to the chemical profile obtained by scanning PEELS analysis through the multilayer.

The dynamics of very low aspect ratio wings (or strakes) vortices in slender bodies are complex due to the interaction of the shed vortex sheet and the body vortex. For missiles at supersonic speeds these interactions are not easily predicted using engineering level tools. To shed some new light onto this problem, an experimental study in a water channel for moderate Reynolds number (Re = 1000) was performed for a 19D body and strake configuration with strakes having a span to body diameter ratio of 1.25. Comparisons to numerical simulations in supersonic flow are also performed. Flow visualisation has been carried out to characterize the vortex dynamics at different angles of attack; these being 11°, 16°, 22° and 27°. The comparison between a slender body without strakes and the body-strake configuration has given some key indicators in relation to the vortex position of the core. Furthermore, unsteady wing-body interference has been observed at angles of attack above 20° for both experimental and numerical simulations. Consequently, the average position of the vortex core is located at larger distances from the missile in comparison to the body without strakes. The numerical simulations show good correlation with the experimental tests even though the dynamic convective interactions between the body vortex and strake vortex sheet are not predicted.

This paper presents a study of the pressuremeter test and the results that can be obtained from this test. Hostun's fine sand was chosen as the material upon which to perform the experimental study of the pressuremeter. Numerical simulations of the pressuremeter tests have been made with the commercially available PLAXIS software. The numerical results have been compared with the experimental ones. The variation of the parameters resulting from an applied surcharge was studied experimentally and numerically. Finally, the relationship between the magnitude of the deformation and the pressuremeter modulus was analyzed.Key words: sand, pressuremeter, triaxial, pressure, modulus, deformation, numerical simulation.

This paper presents an experimental assessment of the Tip Excitation Technique (TET) introduced in a companion paper. The aim of the technique is to measure the rotational compliance of attached plane structures. Following the guidelines established on the basis of a numerical study in the companion paper, experimental measurements were performed on a rectangular plate and results were compared with numerical simulations. The investigation focuses on the general performance of the technique, on the different types of excitation used and on other factors necessary to ensure accurate results. In addition, an error analysis is conducted to demonstrate the sensitivity of the results to biased measurement quantities. It is concluded that the proposed technique can be used in the low to middle frequency range, where relatively strong modal behavior is involved.
