The development of mechanical models relating the state of strains and the resistance of reinforced concrete structures has become a trend in the last decades. These types of models are referred to as strain-based approaches. Since strain-based approaches ...
We consider the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, which, due to its numerous applications, has recently been studied in various computational models. We consider a clean multiplayer model th ...
Mechano-electric feedbacks (MEFs), which model how mechanical stimuli are transduced into electrical signals, have received sparse investigation by considering electromechanical simulations in simplified scenarios. In this paper, we study the effects of di ...
Information regarding occupants inside buildings has the potential to improve security, energy management, and caregiving. Typical sensing approaches for occupant localization rely on mobile devices and cameras. These systems compromise privacy. Occupant l ...
Penalty methods have proven to be particularly effective for achieving the required C-1-continuity in the context of multi patch isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells. Due to their conceptual simplicity, these algorithms are readily applicable to the displace ...
The form and structure of biological tissues define their function. The emergence of tissue morphology during development is one of the wonders of nature. Cells mechanically probe and manipulate their surroundings while constructing structures from the ext ...
One of the numerous approaches that increases the interaction quality between two people is having a proper understanding of the other person's perspective. In this doctoral thesis, we aim to understand children's perspective taking behavior, create a pers ...
