Generalization of the Concept of Extents to Distributed Reaction Systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

In the chemical industry, a large class of processes involving reactions can be described by partial differential equations that depend on time and on one or more spatial coordinates. Examples of such distributed reaction systems are tubular reactors and r ...

A General Framework for Sensor Placement in Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Laura Elisa Celis, Brunella Marta Spinelli

When an epidemic spreads in a given network of individuals or communities, can we detect its source using only the information provided by a small set of nodes? We propose a general framework that incorporates two dimensions. First, we can either rely excl ...

An ecologically-controlled exoskeleton can improve balance recovery after slippage

Silvestro Micera

The evolution to bipedalism forced humans to develop suitable strategies for dynamically controlling their balance, ensuring stability, and preventing falling. The natural aging process and traumatic events such as lower-limb loss can alter the human abili ...

Physical Phenomena in Dynamic Failure of Concrete at the Mesoscale

Okan Yilmaz

The aim of the present thesis is to model numerically the dynamic failure behavior of concrete at the mesoscale. Concrete is the world's most widely used construction material and the structures made of it are subjected to dynamic loads during their long s ...

Dynamic Graffiti Stylisation with Stochastic Optimal Control

Sylvain Calinon

We present a method for the interactive generation of stylised letters, curves and motion paths that are similar to the ones that can be observed in art forms such as graffiti and calligraphy. We define various stylisations of a letter form over a common g ...

Diverse M-Best Solutions by Dynamic Programming

Michaël Unser, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

Many computer vision pipelines involve dynamic programming primitives such as finding a shortest path or the minimum energy solution in a tree-shaped probabilistic graphical model. In such cases, extracting not merely the best, but the set of M-best soluti ...

Influence of geometrical imperfections and flaws at welds of steel liners on fatigue behavior of pressure tunnels and shafts in anisotropic rock

Alexandre Jean Pachoud

High-head steel lined pressure tunnels and shafts may be considered as critical infrastructures especially when rock overburden is small. In the case of lining failure, catastrophic damages can occur when a large amount of water can reach the steep valley ...

Crack tip blunting and cleavage under dynamic conditions

William Curtin, Varun Parameswaran Rajan

In structural materials with both brittle and ductile phases, cracks often initiate within the brittle phase and propagate dynamically towards the ductile phase. The macroscale, quasistatic toughness of the material thus depends on the outcome of this micr ...

Optimal Sensor Architecture Selection for Health Management of Complex Systems

Martin Vetterli, Juri Ranieri

With technological progress, humans tend to create engineering systems with constantly increasing complexity and higher operational requirements. Many complex systems require the use of a Health Management (HM) solution to ensure safety and enable lifecycl ...

Control of Interbank Contagion Under Partial Information

Léo Hamed Amini

We consider a stylized core-periphery financial network in which links lead to the creation of projects in the outside economy but make banks prone to contagion risk. The controller seeks to maximize, under budget constraints, the value of the financial sy ...
