Rapid Deployment of Curved Surfaces via Programmable Auxetics

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

Deployable structures are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations; such structures enable industrial, scientific, and consumer applications at a wide variety of scales. This paper develops novel deployabl ...

Innovative methods to release fine sediments from seasonal reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Azin Amini, Sabine Chamoun, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

The papers present three innovative solutions for fine sediment manage- ments in seasonal reservoirs, which are at different stages of maturity. Operational reservoir stirring using jet-like inflows may facilitate sediment routing, at no addi- tional cost ...

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

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

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 ...

Print-Light-Synthesis of Platinum Nanostructured Indium-Tin-Oxide Electrodes for Energy Research

Andreas Stephan Lesch

Print-light-synthesis is a new concept for the large-scale in situ fabrication of nanoparticles and structures on large substrates. Here, Pt nanoparticles are synthesized on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slides by using combined inkjet printing and p ...

Automatic extraction of constraints in manipulation tasks for autonomy and interaction

Ana-Lucia Ureche

Tasks routinely executed by humans involve sequences of actions performed with high dexterity and coordination. Fully specifying these actions such that a robot could replicate the task is often difficult. Furthermore the uncertainties introduced by the us ...
