concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...

Although superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are a promising technology for quantum optics, metrology, and astronomy, they currently lack readout architecture that is scalable to the megapixel regime beyond. In this work, we have designed demonstrated such an SNSPDs, called thermally-coupled imager (TCI). The TCI uses combination of time-of-flight delay lines thermal coupl...

Experimental investigations of single event burnout (SEB) of power devices due to heavy ion impacts have identi®ed the conditions required to produce device failure. A key feature observed in the data is an anomalistic secondary rise in current occurring shortly after the ion strike. To verify these ®ndings including the thermally induced secondary plateau , simulations have been performed on t...
