Reactive collision-free motion generation in joint space via dynamical systems and sampling-based MPC

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Mikhail Koptev

Dynamical system (DS) based motion planning offers collision-free motion, with closed-loop reactivity thanks to their analytical expression. It ensures that obstacles are not penetrated by reshaping a nominal DS through matrix modulation, which is construc ...

Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

Structural topology exploration through policy-based generation of equilibrium representations

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Mainstream approaches to design spatial architectural forms that are structurally relevant consist either in adapting well-known and catalogued conventional types or in searching for close-to-optimum solutions of well-defined problems. Few means exist to e ...

Dynamic Modeling of an Origami Prismatic Joint

Jamie Paik, Jian-Lin Huang, Mustafa Mete

Dynamic modeling of folding joints is critical for predicting dynamic behavior, optimizing design parameters, and developing control strategies for origami robots and machines. Although kinematics of the folded joints exists, little research describes thei ...

Updates on Hydrogen Value Chain: A Strategic Roadmap

Michael Graetzel, Dan Ren

A strategic roadmap for noncarbonized fuels is a global priority, and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is a key focus of the Paris Agreement to mitigate the effects of rising temperatures. In this context, hydrogen is a promising noncarbonized fue ...

Techno-economic and environmental analysis of methanol and dimethyl ether production from syngas in a kraft pulp process

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

The conventional configuration of a pulp mill, in which black liquor is concentrated and burnt, is compared to the upgrading gasification routes for methanol (MeOH) or dimethyl ether (DME) co-production. To this end, various exergy-based and environmental ...

Luminescent and electronic properties of perovskite solar cells

Brian Irving Carlsen

Perovskite solar cells show great promise to serve as an alternative for traditional silicon-based solar cells, however several problems present obstacles for their commercialization. Standard perovskite cells contain lead, which is toxic to humans and har ...

Grammar-based generation of bar networks in static equilibrium with bounded bar lengths

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

This paper presents a generative approach for the conceptual design of structures, which aims at exploring alternative bar networks in static equilibrium by means of a grammar rule. Operating on incomplete networks of bars in interim static equilibrium, th ...

Tension-tension fatigue behavior of hybrid glass/carbon and carbon/carbon composites

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

This work investigates the quasi-static, low-cycle and fatigue behavior of hybrid glass/ultra-high modulus carbon (GC) and low modulus/ /high modulus carbon (CC) fiber composites. These pseudo-ductile unidirectional interlayer hybrids are a new type of com ...
