Impetus for such change are increasing demand for construction of larger and taller buildings of the light-frame type; taking advantage of relaxation of f...

Despite much experience that low-rise wood buildings are vulnerable to damage by extreme wind events, few such structures have been tested in fullsize to understand how they respond to wind loads as a whole system. This paper presents a study that measured internal force flows throughout the framing of a typical North American single-story structur...

Questions associated with analysis and design of wood light-frame buildings are addressed with emphasis on three-dimensional system analysis. Specifically, concepts for very detailed finite element model-ling are presented along with verification based on full system and substructure experiments. Such detailed modelling is not intended for applicat...

In the near future, new high-contrast imaging instruments dedicated to the direct detection of exoplanets at large orbital separations will be installed at the focus of large ground-based telescopes. Data obtained with these instruments optimized for very high contrast are strongly limited by the speckle noise. Specific observing strategies and dat...

Post-processing for exoplanet detection using direct imaging requires large data cubes and/or sophisticated signal processing technics. For alt-azimuthal mounts, a projection effect called field rotation makes the potential planet rotate in a known manner on the set of images. For ground based telescopes that use extreme adaptive optics and advance...

Direct detection and characterization of exoplanets with ground based telescope is one of the next important steps for a better understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems, as well as the internal structure of large gaseous planets. Several instruments are currently being built to perform high angular and high contrast imaging fr...

SPHERE is a second generation instrument for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) which will aim at directly detecting the intrinsic flux of young giant exoplanets thanks to a dedicated extreme adaptive optics system and coronagraphs.

Direct imaging of exoplanets involves very low signal-to-noise ratio data, that need to be carefully acquired and processed. Multi-band devices enable the simultaneous record of images in different spectral bands. They can be used either for spectroscopy purposes or to improve detection capabilities. This work aims at detecting a potential source,...

Walls of low-rise wood light-frame buildings are commonly employed as the primary means for resisting damaging effects of horizontal forces caused by events like hurricanes and earthquakes. Here test data show how openings for doors and windows influence the in-plane shear stiffness and load capacity of light-frame wall panels sheathed with oriente...

The goal of work described is to predict how forces caused by wind flow through the fabric of prescriptively designed low-rise wood light-frame buildings. Primarily activities to date consist of non-destructive structural experiments on a complete building, non-destructive and destructive tests on isolated segments of wall, and creation and verific...

Material microstructure is a significant determinant of the tensile stress at which materials fail. Using a high-energy laser to drive shocks in thin slabs, we have explored the role material microstructure plays on the spall strength of high-purity and alloyed aluminum at strain rates of (2–7.5)×10⁶ s ^-1 . Slabs of pure recry...

Exoplanet direct imaging involves very low signal-to-noise ratio data that need to be carefully acquired and processed.

Notching glue laminated (glulam) timber beams at the tension side is a crucial decision that arguably should be avoided by design engineers because of the high stress concentrations that develop around such notches. However, it is done in practice to facilitate construction and to reduce the total necessary depth of floors and roofs. Timber design...

We conducted laser-induced spall experiments aimed at studying how a material's microstructure affects the tensile fracture characteristics at high strain rates (>106 s-1). We used the Z-Beamlet Laser at Sandia National Laboratory to drive shocks and to measure the spall strength of aluminum targets with various microstructures. The targets were re...

We have improved deformable mirror approach to allow good parabolic deformation for efficient thermal lens compensation. Our design uses an annulus to push onto the back surface of a flat mirror substrate, simply supported at the outer edge, thereby creating a parabolic deformation within the encircled area. We built an assembly using a 25.4 mm dia...
