Investigation of the bed joint reinforcement effect on the drift capacity of modern unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Savvas Saloustros, Ernesto Andrés Inzunza Araya

Bed joint reinforcement significantly affects the shear capacity of masonry walls due to its effective ability to transfer shear forces through a diagonal crack, but how does this phenomenon impact its drift capacity? This paper presents an experimental st ...

Upper part-load instability in a reduced-scale Francis turbine: an experimental study

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Andres Müller, Ali Amini

Francis turbines with medium or high specific speeds may experience a particular type of instability in the upper part load in which the precessing vortex has an elliptical shape. The occurrence of the upper part-load instability (UPLI) is accompanied by l ...

Sub-Kelvin stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

We present an experimental study of the low-energy stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction. Supersonic expansions of the two reactants are superposed in a merged beam experiment, where individual velocity control of the two beams allows us to reach avera ...

Combined effects of daylight transmitted through coloured glazing and indoor temperature on thermal responses and overall comfort

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

This study investigates the effect of daylight transmitted through three coloured glazing types (blue, orange and neutral) on thermal responses and overall comfort, at three temperature levels (19 °C, 22 °C and 26 °C). The goal is threefold: (i) understand ...

Effects of passive and active joint compliance in quadrupedal locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Alexandre Bernardino

Compliance of the body has a crucial role on locomotion performance. The levels and the distribution of compliance should be well tuned to obtain efficient gait. The leg stiffness changes significantly even during different phases of a single gait cycle. T ...

An Analytical Model of Hardware Transactional Memory

Willy Zwaenepoel, Paolo Romano, Diego Didona

This paper investigates the problem of deriving a white box performance model of Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) systems. The proposed model targets TSX, a popular implementation of HTM integrated in Intel processors starting with the Haswell family in ...

Experimental study of atrial fibrillation cycle length during rapid atrial septal pacing

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Adrian Luca

Computer model-based simulations have shown that rapid stimulation at 60-100% of atrial fibrillation cycle length (AFCL) from a ring of electrodes located around the septum may induce local capture in both atria for most AF dynamics. The present study aims ...

The Subjective Sensation of Synchrony: An Experimental Study

Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Preissmann, Joan Llobera Mahy

People performing actions together have a natural tendency to synchronize their behavior. Consistently, people doing a task together build internal representations not only of their actions and goals, but also of the other people performing the task. Howev ...

A study of the spatio-temporal behaviour of bed load transport rate fluctuations

Joris Heyman

This thesis addresses the problem of a statistical description of the transport of sediment as bed load. It highlights the role of fluctuations arising during the transport process, and their impact on macroscopic averages. The results presented here are b ...

Multi-factorial models of a carbon fibre/epoxy composite subjected to accelerated environmental ageing

Thomas Gmür, Joël Cugnoni, Enrique René Guzman Solares

Among materials being introduced in the aerospace industry, the carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) have a place of privilege because of their exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio. However, the polymer-based matrix is vulnerable to damages by environmen ...
