The long cross-over dynamics of capillary imbibition
Spontaneous capillary imbibition is a classical problem in interfacial fluid dynamics with a broad range of applications, from microfluidics to agriculture. Here we study the duration of the cross-over between an initial linear growth of the imbibition fro ...
CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS2022Pseudomomentum: origins and consequences
The balance of pseudomomentum is discussed and applied to simple elasticity, ideal fluids, and the mechanics of inextensible rods and sheets. A general framework is presented in which the simultaneous variation of an action with respect to position, time, ...
2021An Ink–and–Paper Automaton: The Conceptual Mechanization of Cognition and the Practical Automation of Reasoning in Leibniz’s De Affectibus (1679)
Simon François Dumas Primbault
On ten loose handwritten folios dating back from April 1679, Leibniz gradually devised, in the course of three days, a full-blown theory of thought that nonetheless remained unpublished and still has received little attention from scholars. Conceiving of a ...
2020Inertia location and slow network modes determine disturbance propagation in large-scale power grids
Conventional generators in power grids are steadily substituted with new renewable sources of electric power. The latter are connected to the grid via inverters and as such have little, if any rotational inertia. The resulting reduction of total inertia ra ...
2019Optimal Placement of Inertia and Primary Control: A Matrix Perturbation Theory Approach
The increasing penetration of new renewable sources of electrical energy reduces the overall mechanical inertia available in power grids. This raises a number of issues regarding grid stability over short to medium time scales. A number of approaches have ...
2019Noise-induced desynchronization and stochastic escape from equilibrium in complex networks
Complex physical systems are unavoidably subjected to external environments not accounted for in the set of differential equations that models them. The resulting perturbations are standardly represented by noise terms. If these terms are large enough, the ...
2019Modular and minimally constraining lower limb exoskeleton for enhanced mobility and balance augmentation
Mohamed Bouri, Amalric Louis Ortlieb
In one embodiment, the exoskeleton structure is fastened to the body of the user by a brace and at the foot level. The exoskeleton includes at least one set of three joints corresponding to the hip abduction/adduction, the hip flexion/extension and the kne ...
2018Translational and Rotational Motion of C8 Aromatics Adsorbed in Isotropic Porous Media (MOF-5): NMR Studies and MD Simulations
Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Efrem Daniel Braun, Sudabeh Jawahery, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell
We combined nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to study xylene behavior in MOF-5, probing the effects of adsorbate geometry in a weakly interacting model isotropic metal organic framework (MOF) system. We employed NMR d ...
American Chemical Society2017Experimental Investigation of Steel Braces Installed with Intentional Eccentricity Using Gusset Plate Connections
The present paper proposes an improved design of conventional buckling braces (CBBs) by introducing intentional eccentricity along the brace length. The proposed brace is named the Brace with Intentional Eccentricity (BIE). Due to the inherent action momen ...
International Association of Earthquake Engineering2017On the stabilizing effects of neck-in, gravity, and inertia in Newtonian film casting
We investigate the influence of the reduction of width along the stretching direction, the so-called neck-in effect, on the draw resonance instability in Newtonian film casting using a linear stability analysis of a model of reduced dimensionality includin ...
