A framework to automate the design of digitally-fabricated timber plate structures

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau

The current study uses knowledge from digital architecture, computer science, engineering informatics, and structural engineering to formulate an algorithmic framework for integrated Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) of Integ ...

The covering radius and a discrete surface area for non-hollow simplices

Matthias Schymura

We explore upper bounds on the covering radius of non-hollow lattice polytopes. In particular, we conjecture a general upper bound of d/2 in dimension d, achieved by the "standard terminal simplices" and direct sums of them. We prove this conjecture up to ...

A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...

A combined on-the-fly/interpolation procedure for evaluating energy values needed in molecular simulations

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

We propose an algorithm for molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations that uses an interpolation procedure to estimate potential energy values from energies and gradients evaluated previously at points of a simplicial mesh. We chose an interpolation pr ...

Design of Truss Structures Through Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...

Deforming Tessellations for the Segmentation of Cell Aggregates

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

We present a new active contour to segment cell aggregates. We describe it by a smooth tessellation that is attracted toward the cell membranes. Our approach relies on subdivision schemes that are tightly linked to the theory of wavelets. The shape is enco ...

Dimensionless correlations and performance maps of scroll expanders for micro-scale Organic Rankine Cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Violette Mounier, Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo

In the endeavor towards distributed power systems, not seasonal-dependent micro-power generation technologies are expected to integrate the energy scenario in the years to come. In this context, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) in the (1e10) KWe scale has c ...

Optimum Truss Design with Reused Stock Elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This paper proposes the application of optimization techniques to design reticular structures made from a stock of reused elements. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to reduce the enviro ...

Linear and non-linear studies of spurious backward-wave instabilities in a smooth-wall gyrotron beam duct

Stefano Alberti, Trach-Minh Tran, Jérémy Genoud, Patryk Kaminski

Recently developed self-consistent models for beam-wave interaction simulations of a gyrotron oscillator are used to study spurious backward-wave instabilities in smooth-wall metallic beam ducts. Starting from a simple case with a basic geometry, the influ ...
