An interior penalty coupling strategy for isogeometric non-conformal Kirchhoff-Love shell patches

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Giuliano Guarino

This work focuses on the coupling of trimmed shell patches using Isogeometric Analysis, based on higher continuity splines that seamlessly meet the

C^1

requirement of Kirchhoff-Love-based discretizations. Weak enforcement of coupling conditions is achiev ...

An Elliptic Local Problem With Exponential Decay Of The Resonance Error For Numerical Homogenization

Assyr Abdulle, Doghonay Arjmand, Edoardo Paganoni

Numerical multiscale methods usually rely on some coupling between a macroscopic and a microscopic model. The macroscopic model is incomplete as effective quantities, such as the homogenized material coefficients or fluxes, are missing in the model. These ...

Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom

Haoran Shi

This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...

Almost-Reed-Muller Codes Achieve Constant Rates for Random Errors

Emmanuel Abbé, Jan Hazla, Ido Nachum

This paper considers "delta-almost Reed-Muller codes", i.e., linear codes spanned by evaluations of all but a delta fraction of monomials of degree at most d. It is shown that for any delta > 0 and any epsilon > 0, there exists a family of delta-almost Ree ...

Simulation and experimental validation of pulsating heat pipes

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Philippe Aubin, Filippo Cataldo

The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...

Topology design of general tensegrity with rigid bodies

Yafeng Wang

This study presents a general approach to the topology design of tensegrities with rigid bodies. To the best of the authors' knowledge, all existing topology design methods of tensegrities focus on tensegrities that only consist of members carrying axial f ...

On design strategies for binary dielectric metasurfaces based on the Fourier modal method

Kévin Müller

Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...

Bits through Time

Elie Najm

In any communication system, there exist two dimensions through which the information at the source becomes distorted before reaching the destination: the noisy channel and time. Messages transmitted through a noisy channel are susceptible to modification ...

Calibration Aspects of INS Navigation

Philipp Clausen

The use of a Bayesian filter (e.g., Kalman filter) for the fusion of information from satellite positioning and inertial navigation is a common approach in many applications, where the knowledge of position, velocity, and attitude in space are of great int ...

Out-of-plane instability of thin reinforced concrete walls under seismic loading

Angelica Rosso

Out of plane instability of reinforced concrete walls is a failure mechanism observed rather recently following the earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011). Global out of plane instability is a phenomenon that may occur in thin walls, subjected ...

Reduced Numerical Approximation of Reduced Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems With Applications in Hemodynamics

Simone Deparis, Claudia Maria Colciago

This paper deals with fast simulations of the hemodynamics in large arteries by considering a reduced model of the associated fluid-structure interaction problem, which in turn allows an additional reduction in terms of the numerical discretisation. The re ...

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 ...

Comparison of Polar Decoders with Existing Low-Density Parity-Check and Turbo Decoders

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recently proposed family of provably capacity-achieving error-correction codes that received a lot of attention. While their theoretical properties render them interesting, their practicality compared to other types of codes has not been ...

Shear in reinforced concrete without transverse reinforcement : from refined experimental measurements to mechanical models

Francesco Cavagnis

Since the first applications of structural concrete, the shear behaviour of one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement has been largely investigated. Nevertheless, currently in the scientific community there is no general agreement on the mechanisms of ...
