Transduction in Semiconducting Metal Oxide Based Gas Sensors - Implications of the Conduction Mechanism
Abstract For chemoresistive sensors based on semiconducting metal oxides the conduction mechanism in the sensing layer has a very large impact on the magnitude and even on the direction of the sensor signal. That means that for very similar surface...

Cohesive/adhesive failure interaction in ductile adhesive joints Part II: Quasi-static and fatigue analysis of double lap-joint specimens subjected to through-thickness compressive loading
Abstract This paper proposes a new methodology for the finite element (FE) modelling of failure in adhesively bonded joints. Cohesive and adhesive failure are treated separately which allows accurate failure predictions for adhesive joints of...
