Published: July 2020

The accurate, periodically updated excitation beam intensity correction is essential for conducting fluorescence spectroscopy research. This article describes a simple and inexpensive approach to reevaluate the excitation calibration curve of a spectrofluorometer using a single dye solution. The method shows excellent agreement with the data obtained using a certified calibration detector for the broad spectral range from 290 nm to 700 nm.

Optical resolution photoacoustic imaging of uneven samples without z-scanning is transformative for the fast analysis and diagnosis of diseases. However, current approaches to elongate the depth of field (DOF) typically imply cumbersome postprocessing procedures, bulky optical element ensembles, or substantial excitation beam side lobes. Metasurface technology allows for the phase modulation of light and the miniaturization of imaging systems to wavelength-size thickness.

Interference of surface plasmons has been widely utilized in optical metrology for applications such as high-precision sensing. In this paper, we introduce a surface plasmon interferometer with the potential to be arranged in arrays for parallel multiplexing applications. The interferometer features two grating couplers that excite surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves traveling along a gold-air interface before converging at a gold nanoslit where they interfere.

In addition to the traditional uses of plywood, such as furniture and construction, it is also widely used in areas that benefit from its special combination of strength and lightness, particularly as a construction material for the production of finishing elements of campervans and yachts. In light of the current need to reduce emissions of climate-damaging gases such as CO, the use of lightweight construction materials is very important. In recent years, hybrid structures made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) and metals have attracted much attention in many industries.

Analyzing the Vibration Response of Adhesively Bonded Composite Cantilevers.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Division of Structural Mechanics and Material Mechanics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Cracow University of Technology, 31-155 Kraków, Poland.

In this study, we investigated the vibration of adhesively bonded composite cantilevers consisting of two beech wood lamella and a bondline of flexible polyurethane. The beams had a constant total height, while the thickness of the adhesive layer varied. We analyzed both the driven and free vibration of a single cantilever beam and a cantilever with an additional mass attached to its end.

This paper examines the circumstances under which a one-degree-of-freedom approximate system can be employed to predict the dynamics of a cantilever beam comprising an elastic element with a significant mass and a concentrated mass embedded at its end, impacting a moving rigid base. A reference model of the system was constructed using the finite element method, and an approximate lowest-order model was proposed that could be useful in engineering practice for rapidly ascertaining the dynamics of the system, particularly for predicting both periodic and chaotic motions. The number of finite elements in the reference model was determined based on the calculated values of natural frequencies, which were found to correspond to the values of natural frequencies derived from the application of analytical formulas.
