This thesis concentrates on investigating the presence of 3D ideal MHD instabilities, particularly a saturated 1/1 ideal internal kink, on neoclassical phenomena such as the bootstrap current and heavy impurity transport. The MHD equilibria are generated u ...
Édifice inaugural du De Architectura, la Tour des Vents d’Andronikos de Kyrros nous montre comment Vitruve se forge, dans le sillage de Varron, une conception augmentée de l’architecture qui ne se limite pas à la construction d’édifices: aedificatio,, mais ...
Design practice depends heavily on display of drawings or photographs – representations of buildings and landscapes – from architecture schools to competitions and from client meetings to the final publicity of a completed project. Archives and other recor ...
This chapter presents an overview of an original methodology to design optimum adaptive structures with minimum whole-life energy. Structural adaptation is here understood as a simultaneous change of the shape and internal load-path (i.e. internal forces). ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly localizing a microphone array and identifying the direction of arrival of acoustic events. Under the assumption that the sources are in the far field, this problem can be formulated as a constrained low-ran ...
Post-earthquake residual deformations often control decisions regarding potential demolition of earthquake-damaged buildings. While residual deformations are typically assumed to be lateral, the column residual axial shortening has similar implications for ...
En milieu urbain, le pigeon est un animal détestable pour ceux qui mésestiment son utilité. Sa présence, trop souvent jugée de parasitaire, est en réalité le fruit d’un équilibre subtil et sensible qui défend sa légitimité. Le pigeonnier urbain offre une r ...
The rotational flexibility of column base connections is commonly assumed to be detrimental to the seismic response of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) because it increases story drift demands and promotes soft-story formation by lowering the point of ...
What are the pressing questions in architecture – in teaching, research and practice? Based on their many years of experience, professors Inès Lamunière and Laurent Stalder come together in five meetings to search for answers. They describe an approach to ...
This paper summarizes the findings of two test programs that investigated the hysteretic behavior of wide-flange columns in steel moment-resisting frames. Both deep and shallow steel columns were examined. The members were subjected to unidirectional and b ...
