Floating platform for a wind turbine

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

A floating platform for a wind turbine comprising a vertically arranged support; a toroidal body arranged horizontally and coaxially around said support; a plurality of connection elements which extends radially to connect the support to the toroidal body, ...

A 3D printed bio-composite removable connection system for bamboo spatial structures

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Romain Pascal T van Wassenhove

A 3D printed bio-composite removable connection system for bamboo space structures is introduced in this paper. The system consists of a removable clipping connection for raw bamboo structures, adapted to the European market. The use of parametric design a ...

State of the Art on Computational Design of Assemblies with Rigid Parts

Mark Pauly, Ziqi Wang, Peng Song

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part's geometry or its joining method could have a global impact on ...

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 ...

Recursive evaluation and iterative contraction of N-body equivariant features

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Sergey Pozdnyakov

Mapping an atomistic configuration to a symmetrized N-point correlation of a field associated with the atomic positions (e.g., an atomic density) has emerged as an elegant and effective solution to represent structures as the input of machine-learning algo ...

Experimental investigation of the influence of integral mechanical attachments on structural behaviour of timber folded surface structures

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Andrea Stitic

Structural behaviour of timber folded surface systems greatly depends on the connections ability to transfer the occurring forces between the adjacent elements and finally to the supports. This paper focuses on multiple tab-and-slot joints (MTSJ), where di ...

Mesoscopic Modeling and Experimental Investigations of the Last-Stage Solidification of Globular-Equiaxed Grains in Metallic Alloys : Application to the Al-Cu System

Christophe Mondoux

Hot tearing is a major defect of solidification processes and welding. It occurs in metallic alloys while they are in the semi-solid state and is caused by a lack of liquid feeding in the mushy zone to compensate solid network openings due to tensile and s ...

On the coupling between an ideal fluid and immersed particles

Tudor Ratiu

In this paper, we present finite-dimensional particle-based models for fluids which respect a number of geometric properties of the Euler equations of motion. Specifically, we use Lagrange-Poincare reduction to understand the coupling between a fluid and a ...

Balanced Fiber Bundles and GKM Theory

Silvia Sabatini

Let T be a torus and B a compact T-manifold. Goresky et al. show in [3] that if B is (what was subsequently called) a GKM manifold, then there exists a simple combinatorial description of the equivariant cohomology ring H-T*(B) as a subring of H-T*(B-T). I ...

Bin Packing via Discrepancy of Permutations

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Doemoetoer Palvoelgyi

A well-studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1/4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Karmarkar-Karp algorithm transforms a fractional solution of a suitable LP relaxati ...

Active topology inference using network coding

Christina Fragouli

Our goal, in this paper, is to infer the topology of a network when (i) we can send probes between sources and receivers at the edge of the network and (ii) intermediate nodes can perform simple network coding operations, i.e., additions. Our key intuition ...

Extensions of Lie-Rinehart algebras and cotangent bundle reduction

Tudor Ratiu

Let Q denote a smooth manifold acted upon smoothly by a Lie group G. The G-action lifts to an action on the total space TQ of the cotangent bundle of Q and hence on the standard symplectic Poisson algebra of smooth functions on TQ. The Poisson algebra of ...

Invariant Higher-Order Variational Problems II

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth invertible transformations. This problem leads to solution curves known as ...

The Leaf Space Of A Multiplicative Foliation

Madeleine Jotz

We show that if a smooth multiplicative subbundle S subset of T G on a groupoid G P is involutive and satisfies completeness conditions, then its leaf space G/S inherits a groupoid structure over the space of leaves of TP boolean AND S in P. As an applicat ...

Déformations conformes des variétés de Finsler-Ehresmann

Ratiba Djelid

An intrinsic approach to Finsler geometry is proposed. A concept of Finsler- Ehresmann manifold, denoted by (M,F,H), is introduced and a generalized Chern connection is built for this manifold. Conformal deformations on this manifold are considered. First, ...

Reservoir optimization in recurrent neural networks using properties of Kronecker product

Martin Hasler, Mahdi Jalili, Ali Ajdari Rad

Recurrent neural networks based on reservoir computing are increasingly being used in many applications. Optimization of the topological structure of the reservoir and the internal connection weights for a given task is one of the most important problems i ...

Spontaneous trimerization in a bilinear-biquadratic S=1 zig-zag chain

Recent theoretical studies raised the possibility of a realization of spin nematic states in the S = 1 triangular lattice compound NiGa2S4. We study the bilinear-biquadratic spin 1 chain in a zig-zag geometry by means of the density matrix renormalization ...

Development of a microfluidic system as basis for electrochromatography

In analytical separation technology there is a great demand for faster and more effective separation process. Miniaturization is a suitable technique for satisfying this demand because the reduction of the separation systems in size would give increased se ...
