Surface roughness evolution in adhesive wear processes
Geological faults movements generating earthquakes, a vehicles' tyres rolling on the pavement, and a chalk writing on a blackboard are all different examples of frictional systems. In these systems, which are everywhere around us, two separate bodies are i ...
EPFL2020Analyzing time sensitivity in the Paris subway: an interval data model approach
Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent
We analyze individual travel discomfort-time tradeoffs in the Paris subway using stated choice experiments. The survey design allows to set up in a willingness-to-pay space to estimate the distributions of elasticities of values of travel time to crowd den ...

We analyze individual travel discomfort-time tradeoffs in Paris subway using stated choice experiments. The survey design allows to set up in a willingness-to-pay space to estimate the distributions of elasticities of values of travel time savings to crowd ...
2015A mechanistic approach to topsoil damage due to slip of tractor tyres
Lyesse Laloui, Andrea Battiato, Etienne Diserens
Tractor traction tyres interact with soil by a system of normal and tangential stresses along the soil-tyre contact surface. In this interaction both soil and tyre deform according to their own stress-strain relationships. Soil deformation results in the f ...

Pamphlet Vol. 05 presents the Fall 2008 semester-course held by the studio ALICE at EPFL. The semester course started with investigations on altitude and its potential to provide specific input to an architectural design project. The projects were situated ...
2008Predictive method for evaluation of pavement rutting
André-Gilles Dumont, Mehdi Ould Henia
Pavement rutting not only decreases the road service life but also creates a danger for the security of road users. In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. It is well known that the in ...
