A successful decarbonization of the European Union, coupled with a high integration of renewable energy and ambitious targets for energy efficiency, can only be reached with a significant contribution from transport. This sector currently represents a quar ...
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are often idealized with rate-independent simulation models. However, under dynamic loading, BRBs featuring low-yield point steel exhibit rate-dependency that may lead to appreciable amplifications of the BRB forces. This ...
The goal of this project is to create a reliable process flow for the fabrication of a vacuum encapsulation for a resonator. This process shall be done in few steps and with standard processes from cleanroom. This encapsulation provides a wafer-level packa ...
The objective of this project is the seismic retrofit of an existent steel structure with buckling restrained braces (BRBs), and the proposition of a possible heightening. The structure that will be analysed is the GC building on the EPFL campus, in Ecuble ...
Lunar resources is one of the many new putative business models that may transform space logistics. Yet it competes with Earth-based resources, in a complex trade-off involving both tech development & socioeconomic dynamics. This study models the size vs. ...
The last few years have experienced the emergence of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), ultra-customization, and the explosion of demand for ethical, fair trade, and sustainable consumption. Organizations have therefore started a digital transformation of their SCs and ...
The European Union law-making process is an instance of a peer- production system. We mine a rich dataset of law edits and intro- duce models predicting their adoption by parliamentary committees. Edits are proposed by parliamentarians, and they can be in ...
Nowadays, there is a high demand for sensitive and selective real-time analytical methods suitable for a wide range of applications, from personalized telemedicine, drug discovery, food safety, and quality control, to defense, security, as well as environm ...
Due to restricted weight and space budget on floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), the offshore utility systems have been limited to low-efficiency energy technologies. Moreover, owing to time-varying energy demands of the FPSOs, the ex ...
The controllability cost for the heat equation as the control time T goes to 0 is well-known of the order eC/T for some positive constant C, depending on the controlled domain and for all initial datum. In this paper, we prove that the constant $C ...
