Lattice-and-Plate Model: Mechanics Modeling of Physical Origami Robots

Origami robots are characterized by their compact design, quasi-two-dimensional manufacturing process, and folding joint-based transmission kinematics. The physical requirements in terms of payload, range of motion, and embedding core robotic components ha ...

From Trees to Barcodes and Back Again: A Combinatorial, Probabilistic and Geometric Study of a Topological Inverse Problem

Adélie Eliane Garin

In this thesis, we investigate the inverse problem of trees and barcodes from a combinatorial, geometric, probabilistic and statistical point of view. Computing the persistent homology of a merge tree yields a barcode B. Reconstructing a tree from B invol ...

Analysis-aware defeaturing of complex geometries

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Local modifications of a computational domain are often performed in order to simplify the meshing process and to reduce computational costs and memory requirements. However, removing geometrical features of a domain often introduces a non-negligible error ...

Real-Time Musculoskeletal Kinematics and Dynamics Analysis Using Marker- and IMU-Based Solutions in Rehabilitation

Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

This study aims to explore the possibility of estimating a multitude of kinematic and dynamic quantities using subject-specific musculoskeletal models in real-time. The framework was designed to operate with marker-based and inertial measurement units enab ...

Serre-Tate theory for Calabi-Yau varieties

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multipl ...

Ultrafast Photoelectron and Optical Spectroscopies of Photoinduced Processes in Molecular Systems in Solution

Luca Longetti

Investigating molecular excitations with femtosecond time resolution is of pivotal importance to understand the out-of-equilibrium processes taking place in molecular systems upon light absorption. The photochemistry of solvated species is heavily determin ...

Nonlinear evolution of the centrifugal instability using a semilinear model

François Gallaire, Eunok Yim

We study the nonlinear evolution of the axisymmetric centrifugal instability developing on a columnar anticyclone with a Gaussian angular velocity using a semilinear approach. The model consists of two coupled equations: one for the linear evolution of the ...

Instanton theory of ground-state tunneling splittings with general paths

Christophe Louis Joseph Jean-Luc Vaillant

We derive a multidimensional instanton theory for calculating ground-state tunneling splittings in Cartesian coordinates for general paths. It is an extension of the method by Mil'nikov and Nakamura [J. Chem. Phys. 115, 6881 (2001)] to include asymmetric p ...

Path-integral dynamics of water using curvilinear centroids

Michael John Willatt

We develop a path-integral dynamics method for water that resembles centroid molecular dynamics (CMD), except that the centroids are averages of curvilinear, rather than Cartesian, bead coordinates. The curvilinear coordinates are used explicitly only when ...

Random field solutions to linear SPDEs driven by symmetric pure jump Levy space-time white noises

Robert Dalang, Thomas Marie Jean-Baptiste Humeau

We study the notions of mild solution and generalized solution to a linear stochastic partial differential equation driven by a pure jump symmetric Levy white noise, with symmetric alpha-stable Levy white noise as an important special case. We identify con ...

A multisymplectic integrator for elastodynamic frictionless impact problems

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, François Marie Alain Demoures

We present a structure preserving numerical algorithm for the collision of elastic bodies. Our integrator is derived from a discrete version of the field-theoretic (multisymplectic) variational description of nonsmooth Lagrangian continuum mechanics, combi ...

From Tarski's Plank Problem to Simultaneous Approximation

János Pach, Andrei Kupavskii

A slab (or plank) is the part of the d-dimensional Euclidean space that lies between two parallel hyperplanes. The distance between the these hyperplanes is called the width of the slab. It is conjectured that the members of any infinite family of slabs wi ...

Local structural effects in fiber-reinforced polymer web-core sandwich structures

Sonia Yanes Armas

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded decks and sandwich panels currently represent two of the most extensive applications of FRP materials for load-bearing structural components in the bridge and building domains. Based on the state of the art, ...

Multiplicity Of Solutions For Linear Partial Differential Equations Using (Generalized) Energy Operators

Jean-Philippe Lucien Montillet

Families of energy operators and generalized energy operators have recently been introduced in the definition of the solutions of linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with a particular application to the wave equation [ 15]. To do so, the author ha ...

Data Reconciliation for Reaction Systems Using Extents and Shape Constraints

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Concentrations measured during the course of reactions are typically corrupted by random noise. Data reconciliation techniques improve the accuracy of measurements by using redundancies in the material and energy balances expressed as relationships between ...

On a Lagrangian Formulation of the Incompressible Euler Equation

Hasan Inci

In this paper we show that the incompressible Euler equation on the Sobolev space H-s(R-n), s> n/2+1, can be expressed in Lagrangian coordinates as a geodesic equation on an infinite dimensional manifold. Moreover the Christoffel map describing the geodesi ...

On the statistical physics of chains and rods, with application to multi-scale sequence-dependent DNA modelling

Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp

The complex mechanisms involved in cellular processes have been increasingly understood this past century and the central role of the DNA molecule has been recognized. The base pair sequence along a DNA fragment is observed not only to encode the genomic i ...

Locating Faults on Untransposed, Meshed Transmission Networks Using a Limited Number of Synchrophasor Measurements

Mario Paolone, Sadegh Azizi

The method of symmetrical components is not effective for fault location in the case of untransposed lines, due to potential couplings between the sequence circuits. This paper proposes a non-iterative algorithm in the phase-coordinates for wide-area fault ...

Parallel imaging with phase scrambling

Rolf Gruetter, Daniel Gallichan

PURPOSE: Most existing methods for accelerated parallel imaging in MRI require additional data, which are used to derive information about the sensitivity profile of each radiofrequency (RF) channel. In this work, a method is presented to avoid the acquisi ...

Interior Tomography Using 1D Generalized Total Variation. Part II: Multiscale Implementation

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward

To address the classic interior tomography problem where projections at each view extend only to the shadow of a circular region completely interior to the subject being scanned, previously we showed that the exact recovery of two- and three-dimensional pi ...
