Uncertainty Quantification by Multilevel Monte Carlo and Local Time-Stepping for Wave Propagation

Fabio Nobile

Because of their robustness, efficiency, and non intrusiveness, Monte Carlo methods are probably the most popular approach in uncertainty quantification for computing expected values of quantities of interest. Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods signific ...

Ultralow-Profile Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-B and

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An ultralow-profile circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna is presented in this article, based on the variable-rotation technique for beam collimation and scanning. Starting from a conventional split-loop element, a new wideband element is des ...

A three-dimensional macroelement for modelling the in-plane and out-of-plane response of masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin

The seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings is commonly assessed using equivalent frame modelling. Its computational efficiency allows for a large number of analyses to be conducted, which are often required to account for epistemic and aleat ...

Local Vulnerabilities and Global Robustness of Coupled Dynamical Systems on Complex Networks

Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Coupled dynamical systems are omnipresent in everyday life. In general, interactions between individual elements composing the system are captured by complex networks. The latter greatly impact the way coupled systems are functioning and evolving in time. ...

A hierarchical approach to the a posteriori error estimation of isogeometric Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Love shells

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Luca Coradello

This work focuses on the development of a posteriori error estimates for fourth-order, elliptic, partial differential equations. In particular, we propose a novel algorithm to steer an adaptive simulation in the context of Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Lo ...

Propulsion and energetics of a minimal magnetic microswimmer

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this manuscript we describe the realization of a minimal hybrid microswimmer, composed of a ferromagnetic nanorod and a paramagnetic microsphere. The unbounded pair is propelled in water upon application of a swinging magnetic field that induces a perio ...

Nuclear quantum effects enter the mainstream

Michele Ceriotti

Atomistic simulations of chemical, biological and materials systems have become increasingly precise and predictive owing to the development of accurate and efficient techniques that describe the quantum mechanical behaviour of electrons. Nevertheless, the ...

Composition of the low seismic velocity E ′ layer at the top of Earth's core

James Badro

Using ab initio simulations on Fe-Ni-S-C-O-Si liquids, we constrain the origin and composition of the low-velocity layer E′ at the top of Earth's outer core. We find that increasing the concentration of any light element always increases velocity and so a ...

A deployable tensegrity footbridge that connects at mid-span

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connects at mid-span. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (strut ...

Semiclassical evidence of columnar order in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice both in the classical limit and in the presence of quantum fluctuations. At the classical level (the limit of infinite spin S), we ...

Ka-Band Rectangular Waveguide to Suspended Stripline Transition

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Rafal Glogowski

A Ka-band transition between a rectangular waveguide and a suspended stripline (SSL) is proposed. It uses a configuration in which the SSL substrate is perpendicular to the waveguide main axis. A patch printed on the SSL substrate is used to match the char ...
