C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Quentin Christian Becker, Yingying Ren, Davide Pellis

We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...

Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...

Seismic stability of steel moment resisting frames with inelastic panel zones

Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

This paper summarizes preliminary findings of nonlinear simulations aiming to quantify the seismic demands of codecompliant steel MRFs with variable panel zone targeted shear distortions, 𝛾!. The probability of beam fractures is explicitly considered in th ...

Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

Experimental investigation of a keying joint cast in UHPFRC between precast UHPFRC bridge elements

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Enrique García

Ultra High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is increasingly popular for new structural designs thanks to its high resistance both in tension and compression. When UHPFRC is complemented with steel reinforcing bars or prestressin ...

An Open-Source Whole Slide Image Registration Workflow at Cellular Precision Using Fiji, QuPath and Elastix

Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Jessica Sordet, Nicolas René Chiaruttini

Image analysis workflows for Histology increasingly require the correlation and combination of measurements across several whole slide images. Indeed, for multiplexing, as well as multimodal imaging, it is indispensable that the same sample is imaged multi ...
