Comparing the Buckling Strength of Spherical Shells With Dimpled Versus Bumpy Defects

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Arefeh Abbasi, Fani Derveni

We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we perform a comparative study between shells containing dimpled (inward) versu ...

Piecewise Affine Curvature model: a reduced-order model for soft robot-environment interaction beyond PCC

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Qinghua Guan

Soft robot are celebrated for their propensity to enable compliant and complex robot-environment interactions. Soft robotic manipulators, or slender continuum structure robots have the potential to exploit these interactions to enable new exploration and m ...

How to weave a perfect sphere with curved strips

Mark Pauly, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Francis Julian Panetta, Yingying Ren, Tian Chen, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux

Triaxial weaving, a craft technique that enables the generation of surfaces with tri-directional arrays of initially straight elastic strips, has long been loved by basket makers and artists seeking a combination of practical and aesthetically-pleasing str ...

A Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for Asymptotically Conical Manifolds and Manifolds with Conical Singularities

Adrien Giuliano Marcone

The purpose of this thesis is to provide an intrinsic proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for complete Riemannian manifolds with finitely many conical singularities and asymptotically conical ends. A geometric invariant is associated to the link of both ...

Generalized Gauss Inequalities via Semidefinite Programming

Daniel Kuhn

A sharp upper bound on the probability of a random vector falling outside a polytope, based solely on the first and second moments of its distribution, can be computed efficiently using semidefinite programming. However, this Chebyshev-type bound tends to ...

Quasiconformal Embeddings of Y-Pieces

In this paper we construct quasiconformal embeddings from Y-pieces that contain a short boundary geodesic into degenerate ones. These results are used in a companion paper to study the Jacobian tori of Riemann surfaces that contain small simple closed geod ...

On The Convergence Of The Affine Hull Of The Chvatal-Gomory Closures

Yuri Faenza, Marco Di Summa

Given an integral polyhedron P subset of R-n and a rational polyhedron Q subset of R-n containing the same integer points as P, we investigate how many iterations of the Chvatal-Gomory closure operator have to be performed on Q to obtain a polyhedron conta ...

Closing Large Hyperbolic 2g-gons : a Way to Study Hyperelliptic Riemann Surfaces of Genus g

Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...

Isometry groups of non-positively curved spaces: Discrete subgroups

Nicolas Monod

We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained after a detour throu ...

Totally geodesic subgraphs of the pants complex

Hugo Parlier

In recent work of Brock's, the pants graph is shown to be a combinatorial model for the completion of the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmuller space. We prove that every Farey graph embedded in the pants graph is totally geodesic, in analogy with the extri ...
