abstract = {We present the radio frequency sputtering fabrication protocols for the fabrication on flexible polymeric substrates of glass-based 1D photonic crystals and erbium activated planar waveguides. Various characterization techniques, such as atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy, are employed to put in evidence the good adhesion of the glass coating on the polymeric substrates. Transmittance measurements are performed on the multilayer structure and indicate that there are no differences between the samples deposited on the polymeric and SiO_{2} substrates, even after bending. Prism coupling technique is used to measure the optical parameter of the planar waveguide fabricated on flexible substrates. The ^{4}I_{13/2} → ^{4}I_{15/2} emission band, detected upon TE_{0} mode excitation at 514.5 nm, exhibits the spectral shape characteristic of Er^{3+} ions embedded in a crystalline environment.},

abstract = {Multilayer structures are commonly used components in optics and photonics due to their unique properties to manipulate the spectral response of light. Multilayer-driven components for sensing purposes can bring some advantages such as high sensitivity, fast signal response, electromagnetic interference immunity, and low power consumption. Thus, a mechanically coupled optical system can be the right candidate for force and vibration detection. In this work, we propose and demonstrate an optomechanical sensing system for pressure and vibration detection using two multilayer structures, a circular membrane, a light source, and a photodiode. The design of this proposed system consists of two parts, which are optical design and mechanical design. In the optical design, we modeled the optical response of the multilayer structures in the visible spectra using the Transfer Matrix Method. The mechanical response, on the other hand, is calculated using finite element simulations via the COMSOL Multiphysics software. The multilayer structures are fabricated by RF-Sputtering technique and then integrated through a 3D printed mechanical housing. The sensor characteristics (sensitivity and resonance frequency) are experimentally investigated by a static loading test and a transient response analysis. Results are shown that the sensor frequency around 510 Hz and the sensitivity of the sensor about 50 Pa.},

abstract = {Seismic risk evaluation of coupled systems of industrial plants often needs the implementation of complex finite element models to consider their multicomponent nature. These models typically rely on significant computational resources. Moreover, the relationships between seismic action, system response and relevant damage levels are often characterized by a high level of nonlinearity, thus requiring a solid background of experimental data. Furthermore, fragility analyses depend on the adoption of a significant number of seismic waveforms generally not available when the analysis is site-specific. To propose a methodology able to manage these issues, we present a possible approach for a seismic reliability analysis of a coupled tank-piping system. The novelty of this approach lies in the adoption of artificial accelerograms, FE models and experimental hybrid simulations to evaluate a surrogate meta-model of our system. First, to obtain the necessary input for a stochastic ground motion model able to generate synthetic ground motions, a disaggregation analysis of the seismic hazard is performed. Hereafter, we reduce the space of parameters of the stochastic ground motion model by means of a global sensitivity analysis upon the seismic response of our system. Hence, we generate a large set of synthetic ground motions and select, among them, a few signals for experimental hybrid simulations. In detail, the hybrid simulator is composed by a numerical substructure to predict the sliding response of a steel tank, and a physical substructure made of a realistic piping network. Furthermore, we use these experimental results to calibrate a refined ANSYS FEM. More precisely, we focus on tensile hoop strains in elbow pipes as a leading cause for leakage, monitoring them with strain gauges. Thus, we present the procedure to evaluate a numerical Kriging meta-model of the coupled system based on both experimental and finite element model results. This model will be adopted in a future development to carry out a seismic fragility analysis.},
