From kirigami to hydrogels: a tutorial on designing conformally transformable surfaces

Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Yue Wang

Elastic surfaces that morph between multiple geometrical configurations are of significant engineering value, with applications ranging from the deployment of space-based PV arrays, the erection of temporary shelters, and the realization of flexible displa ...

How to weave a perfect sphere with curved strips

Mark Pauly, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren

Triaxial weaving, a craft technique that enables the generation of surfaces with tri-directional arrays of initially straight elastic strips, has long been loved by basket makers and artists seeking a combination of practical and aesthetically-pleasing str ...

Solidity without inhomogeneity: perfectly homogeneous, weakly coupled, UV-complete solids

Angelo Esposito

Solid-like behavior at low energies and long distances is usually associated with the spontaneous breaking of spatial translations at microscopic scales, as in the case of a lattice of atoms. We exhibit three quantum field theories that are renormalizable, ...

Benchmarking of the plane-to-plane metric

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

In this report we benchmark the plane-to-plane objective quality metric. This is, a metric that measures the angular similarity of tangent planes between two point cloud models and relies on normal vectors that are carried with associated pairs of points. ...

Data-Driven Model for the Dynamic Characteristics of O-Rings for Gas Bearing Supported Rotors

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

The measurement results of various nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) O-Ring sizes are pre-sented, and reduced-order models are developed in order to predict the stiffness and damping coefficient as a function of O-Ring geometry, Shore hardness, squeeze, and e ...

Minimal entropy for uniform lattices in product of hyperbolic planes

Louis Georges Eric Merlin

Let M be a quotient of H-2 x ... x H-2 (product of hyperbolic planes) by a uniform lattice of. PSL2(R))(n). We prove that, among metrics of M of prescribed volume, the sum of hyperbolic metrics has minimal volume entropy. ...

A parametrical study on secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and theoretical modelling

Anton Schleiss, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R (H is the average flow depth and R is the centreline radius of curvature), the Froude number Fr, and the dimensionless roughness coefficient Cf was systematically investigated in ...

Secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and modelling

Anton Schleiss, Alexandre Blanc, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R and the Froude number Fr was systematically investigated in a series of 18 experiments in a sharply-curved laboratory flume. The investigated flow depths were 0.9 m, 0.13 m, 0.19 ...
