Micro-mechanical finite element modeling for in-plane behavior of historical masonry

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...

Activism, Strategic Trading, and Liquidity

Pierre Collin Dufresne, Tao Li

We analyze dynamic trading by an activist investor who can expend costly effort to affect firm value. We obtain the equilibrium in closed form for a general activism technology, including both binary and continuous outcomes. Variation in parameters can pro ...

Biomimetic adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure

Ann Christine Sychterz

Biomimetic behavior includes aspects such as learning from previous experience, self-diagnosis, and adaptation. This thesis describes control methodologies that are essential to development towards biomimetic behavior of a complex deployable structure. Sim ...

New insight in Francis turbine cavitation vortex rope: role of the runner outlet flow swirl number

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Andres Müller, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Arthur Tristan Favrel

At part load operation, Francis turbines experience the development of a cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube, whose precession acts as a pressure excitation source. In case of resonance, the resulting pressure pulsations lead to unacceptable torque an ...

Orientation-Dispersed Apparent Axon Diameter via Multi-Stage Spherical Mean Optimization

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato

The estimation of the apparent axon diameter (AAD) via diffusion MRI is affected by the incoherent alignment of single axons around its axon bundle direction, also known as orientational dispersion. The simultaneous estimation of AAD and dispersion is chal ...

What-if Analysis with Conflicting Goals: Recommending Data Ranges for Exploration

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

What-if analysis is a data-intensive exploration to inspect how changes in a set of input parameters of a model influence some outcomes. It is motivated by a user trying to understand the sensitivity of a model to a certain parameter in order to reach a se ...

Effects of load interruption on the fatigue life of GFRP composites

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Abdolvahid Movahedirad

The effect of cyclic loading interruption on the fatigue behavior of angle-ply (±45)2S glass/epoxy composite laminates was investigated by comparing the obtained results of continuous- and interrupted loading patterns. Continuous fatigue experiments were p ...

Improved Seismic Design and Nonlinear Modeling Recommendations for Wide-Flange Steel Columns

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

This paper presents the findings of parametric finite-element (FE) simulations of more than 50 wide-flange steel columns under cyclic loading. The column sizes, which are mostly highly ductile according to the current design practice in North America, are ...
