C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Yingying Ren, Quentin Christian Becker, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Davide Pellis

We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...

The imprint of galaxy mergers on satellite planes in a cosmological context

Oliver Müller

Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statis ...

Verification of selective laser melting heat source models with operando X-ray diffraction data

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Samy Hocine

The output obtained from operando X-ray diffraction experiments on Ti-6Al-4V is used to verify the accuracy of four FEM models in predicting the temperature evolution of the solidified domain, the cooling rates of the alpha and beta phases, and the influen ...

Analysis and Transfer of Human Movement Manipulability in Industry-like Activities

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Humans exhibit outstanding learning, planning and adaptation capabilities while performing different types of industrial tasks. Given some knowledge about the task requirements, humans are able to plan their limbs motion in anticipation of the execution of ...

Shapes of rotating normal fluid He-3 versus superfluid He-4 droplets in molecular beams

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and x-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid He-4 droplets obtained in a free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar experiments ...

Microstructural controls of anticrack nucleation in highly porous brittle solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe

Porous brittle solids have the ability to collapse and fail even under compressive stresses. In fracture mechanics, this singular behavior, often referred to as anticrack, demands for appropriate continuum models to predict the catastrophic failure. To ide ...

On the Volume of the John-Lowner Ellipsoid

Grigory Ivanov

We find an optimal upper bound on the volume of the John ellipsoid of a k-dimensional section of the n-dimensional cube, and an optimal lower bound on the volume of the Lowner ellipsoid of a projection of the n-dimensional cross-polytope onto a k-dimension ...

Early Urinary Biomarkers in Pediatric Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): No Evidence in the Interest of Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL)

Marco Solcà

Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is increasingly diagnosed during childhood by the presence of renal cysts in patients with a positive familial history. No curative treatment is available and early detection and diagnosis co ...

Structure of Herbig AeBe Disks at the milliarcsecond Scale—A Statistical Survey in the H Band Using PIONIER-VLTI

Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez

Context. It is now generally accepted that the near-infrared excess of Herbig AeBe stars originates in the dust of a circumstellar disk. Aims. The aims of this article are to infer the radial and vertical structure of these disks at scales of order 1 au, a ...

Comparison-Based Optical Assessment of Hyperboloid and Ellipsoid Reflectors in a Beam-Down Solar Tower System With Linear Fresnel Heliostats

Meng Lin

Beam-down concentrating solar tower (BCST) is known for its merits in easy installation and maintenance as well as lower convection heat loss of the central receiver (CR) when comparing to a traditional concentrated solar tower system. A point-line-couplin ...

Drift Reduction for Inertial Sensor Based Orientation and Position Estimation in the Presence of High Dynamic Variability During Competitive Skiing and Daily-Life Walking

Benedikt Fasel

Nowadays inertial sensors are extensively used for gait analysis. They can be used to perform temporal event detection (i.e. step detection) and to estimate the orientation of the feet and other body segments to determine walking speed and distance. Usuall ...

Stability Results For The Volume Of Random Simplices

Gergely Ambrus

It is known that for a convex body K in R-d of volume one, the expected volume of random simplices in K is minimized if K is an ellipsoid, and for d = 2, maximized if K is a triangle. Here we provide corresponding stability estimates. ...

Concrete shells – Towards efficient structures: Construction of an ellipsoidal concrete shell in Switzerland

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...

Numerical modeling of the effects of oil on annular laminar film condensation in minichannels

John Richard Thome

This paper presents a numerical model to predict laminar film condensation heat transfer in small channels of different internal geometries for miscible refrigerant-oil mixtures. The model includes the contributions of surface tension, axial shear stresses ...

Epoxy-graphite Resistive Composites : Formulation, Characterization and Applications

Nathalie Sophie Adeline Serra

In this thesis, we proposed to study polymer-based thick-film resistors (TFRs) made of graphite particles dispersed in an epoxy matrix. Three main axes were investigated: formulation of the composites, characterization with the determination of electrical, ...

Covering Cubes and the Closest Vector Problem

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier, Nicolai Hähnle

We provide the currently fastest randomized (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the closest vector problem in the infinity-norm. The running time of our method depends on the dimension n and the approximation guarantee epsilon by 2^(O(n))(log(1/epsilon ...
