Open AccessCoherence tomography with broad bandwidth extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation
We present an overview of recent results on optical coherence tomography with the use of extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation (XCT). XCT is a cross-sectional imaging method that has emerged as a deriva...

Crack analysis in decagonal quasicrystals by the MLPG
A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed to solve initial-boundary-value crack problems in decagonal quasicrystals. These quasicrystals belong to the class of two-dimensional (...

Analysis of anisotropic Kirchhoff plates using a novel hypersingular BEM
In this article a hypersingular boundary element method (BEM) for bending of thin anisotropic plates is presented. A new complex variable fundamental solution is implemented in the algorithm. For spatial discr...

Open AccessOptical coherence tomography using broad-bandwidth XUV and soft X-ray radiation
We present a novel approach to extend optical coherence tomography (OCT) to the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectral range. With a simple setup based on Fourier-domain OCT and adapted for th...

Transient dynamic analysis of interface cracks in layered anisotropic solids under impact loading
Transient elastodynamic crack analysis in two-dimensional (2D), layered, anisotropic and linear elastic solids is presented in this paper. A time-domain boundary element method (BEM) in conjunction with a mult...

Lignite mining and its after-effects on the Central German landscape
Lignite mining, which has been pursued in Central Germany for 150 years, has left deep scars on the landscape on an area of over 600 km2. The open-cast mines set up to extract lignite, along with the dumps and pi...
