Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing of Silicon Oxycarbide Ceramics

Jürgen Brugger, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Paul Delrot, Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff, Antoine Vincent Boniface, Georgia Konstantinou, Lorenz Hagelüken, Max Kollep

Ceramics are highly technical materials with properties of interest for multiple industries. Precisely because of their high chemical, thermal, and mechanical resistance, ceramics are difficult to mold into complex shapes. A possibility to make convoluted ...

Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...

A critically degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem, spectral theory and bifurcation

Charles Stuart

In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...

Precise and accurate image-based measurements of optical material properties

Marjan Shahpaski

The appearance of objects is governed by how they reflect, transmit and absorb the light they receive. That, in turn, depends on the material's internal structure, surface structure, and viewing and illumination directions. Changes in those characteristics ...

Buckling of geometrically confined shells

Matteo Pezzulla

We study the periodic buckling patterns that emerge when elastic shells are subjected to geometric confinement. Residual swelling provides access to range of shapes (saddles, rolled sheets, cylinders, and spherical sections) which vary in their extrinsic a ...

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 ...

On the Influence of an Elevated Terrain on the Grounding Resistance of a Vertical Rod

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...

Photo-physical Properties of Perovskites on Curved Surfaces

Konstantins Mantulnikovs

Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have recently attracted increasing attention as highly-efficient light-harvesting materials for photovoltaic applications. The technical ease of solution processing of these materials is one of their major ...

Second-order sensitivity in the cylinder wake: Optimal spanwise-periodic wall actuation and wall deformation

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Andrea Fani

Two-dimensional (2D) flows can be controlled efficiently using spanwise "waviness," i.e., a control (e.g., wall blowing and suction or wall deformation) that is periodic in the spanwise direction. This study tackles the global linear stability of 2D flows ...

On Establishing Buckling Knockdowns for Imperfection-Sensitive Shell Structures

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

This paper investigates issues that have arisen in recent efforts to revise long-standing knockdown factors for elastic shell buckling, which are widely regarded as being overly conservative for well-constructed shells. In particular, this paper focuses on ...

Stepwise Luneburg Lens for Bloch Surface Waves

Myun Sik Kim, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

In order to enlarge the capability for in-plane manipulation of the Bloch surface wave (BSW), we investigate 2D gradient index (GRIN) optical components using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. To ease difficulties in fabrication to a ...

Dynamics of falling films on the outside of a vertical rotating cylinder: waves, rivulets and dripping transitions

François Gallaire, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

Falling liquid films on the underside of a plate or on the outside of a rotating cylinder are subject to a destabilizing body force. The evolution of the film topology is determined by interactions between the Kapitza and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, l ...

Effect of pool confinement on pressures around a block impacted by plunging aerated jets

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The erosion caused by jets issued from hydraulic structures progressively develops a confined scour-hole on the riverbed. A realistic scour assessment must consider both the influence of the air entrained when the jet plunges into the pool and the flow pat ...

New Parametric 3D Snake for Medical Segmentation of Structures with Cylindrical Topology

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

We propose a new parametric 3D snake with cylindrical topology. Its construction is based on interpolatory basis functions which facilitates user-interaction because the control points of the snake directly lie on the surface of the deformable cylinder. We ...
