Precise and accurate image-based measurements of optical material properties

The appearance of objects is governed by how they reflect, transmit and absorb the light they receive. That, in turn, depends on the material's internal structure, surface structure, and viewing and illumination directions. Changes in those characteristics ...

Design and control of a prototype structure that adapts to loading through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Gennaro Senatore, Apoorv Srivastava

This paper reports on experimental testing that was carried out on a prototype adaptive structure designed to counteract the effect of loading through controlled large shape changes. The prototype is 6.6 m truss equipped with 12 linear actuators which has ...

Shape Reconstruction by Learning Differentiable Surface Representations

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Erhan Gündogdu, Shaifali Parashar, Jan Bednarík

Generative models that produce point clouds have emerged as a powerful tool to represent 3D surfaces, and the best current ones rely on learning an ensemble of parametric representations. Unfortunately, they offer no control over the deformations of the su ...

Flexure-based mecano-optical multi-degree-of-freedom transducers dedicated to medical force sensing instruments

Sebastian Krzysztof Fifanski

This thesis develops novel multi-degrees-of-freedom flexure-based force sensors by exploiting white light interferometry. Fabry-Pérot interferometry measurement has nanometric accuracy which yields sub milli-Newton force sensing accuracy. Such force sensin ...

The Role of Machine Learning in the Understanding and Design of Materials

Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Berend Smit, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Developing algorithmic approaches for the rational design and discovery of materials can enable us to systematically find novel materials, which can have huge technological and social impact. However, such rational design requires a holistic perspective ov ...

Tolerancing the surface form of aspheric microlenses manufactured by wafer-level optics techniques

Wilfried Noell, Toralf Scharf, Jeremy Béguelin

Tolerancing is an important step toward the fabrication of high-quality and cost-effective lens surfaces. It is critical for wafer-level optics, when up to tens of thousands microlenses are fabricated in parallel and whose surfaces cannot be formed individ ...

Data-driven method for low-carbon building design at early stages

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The Paris agreement on climate change called for carbon neutrality as of 2050. The built environment is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect, representing 39% of global emissions. As a result, this sector is targeted by green standards an ...

Hierarchically refined isogeometric analysis of trimmed shells

Davide D'Angella, Luca Coradello, Alessandro Reali

This work focuses on the study of several computational challenges arising when trimmed surfaces are directly employed for the isogeometric analysis of Kirchhoff-Love shells. To cope with these issues and to resolve mechanical and/or geometrical features o ...

Stretchable Kirigami Components for Composite Meso-Scale Robots

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Tatsuya Higashisaka

Layer-by-layer manufacturing of composite mechanisms allows fast and cost-effective fabrication of customized robots in millimeter and centimeter scales which is promising for research fields that rely on frequent and numerous physical iterations. Due to t ...
