Connection systems between composite sandwich floor panels and load-bearing walls for building rehabilitation
Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido
The use of advanced composites for building rehabilitation presents several advantages when compared with traditional construction materials. When degraded building floors need to be replaced, composite sandwich panels are a potentially interesting solutio ...
Elsevier2016Funicular Explorations: Cardboard Box Curves Achieved through External Post-Tensioning
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf
Structural designers often face the challenge of developing forms optimal for a broad range of requirements, but inefficient in terms of structural behavior. In these cases, bending moments often occur under normal loading, resulting in oversized, inelegan ...
IASS2015Isogeometric rotation-free analysis of planar extensible-elastica for static and dynamic applications
Luca Dede', Alessandro Spadoni, Florian Paul Robert Maurin
Finite deformations of planar slender beams for which shear strain can be neglected are described by the extensible-elastica model, where the strain-displacement relation is geometrically exact and the Biot stress–strain relation is linear. However, if the ...
Springer Verlag2015Influence of boundary conditions and size effect on the drift capacity of URM walls
In codes the drift capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is often estimated as a function of the failure mode and the aspect ratio. The empirical relationships are based on results from quasi-static cyclic tests on single URM walls, which were teste ...
Elsevier2014Lateral force resisting mechanisms in slab-column connections: An analytical approach
Aurelio Muttoni, Katrin Beyer, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos
In many countries reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported on columns is one of the most commonly used structural systems for office and industrial buildings. To increase the lateral stiffness and strength of the structure, RC walls are typically adde ...
2014Two-dimensional cantilever array with varying spring constants and tip radii for life-science applications
Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama, Sebastian Gautsch, Peter Vettiger, Frédéric Loizeau, André Meister
A fabrication process for realising two-dimensional cantilever arrays for parallel force spectroscopy of biological samples is presented. The parallel optical atomic force microscopy readout system has been developed and presented elsewhere. The arrays are ...
2012MATHICSE Technical Report : Moment equations for the mixed formulation of the Hodge Laplacian with stochastic data
Fabio Nobile, Annalisa Buffa, Francesca Bonizzoni
We study the mixed formulation of the stochastic Hodge-Laplace problem defined on a n-dimensional domain D (), with random forcing term. In particular, we focus on the magnetostatic problem and on the Darcy problem in the three dimensional case. ...
MATHICSE2012Dual‐band, Dual‐polarized Reflectarray antenna in Ku Band
This paper presents a dual-band single layer printed reflectarray antenna with closely separated frequency bands centered at 12 and 14 GHz. The novel unit cell, with which the antenna has been designed, consists of a printed cross-dipole and a split ring e ...
2012Ambulatory measurement of ankle kinetics for clinical applications
Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani
This study aimed to design and validate the measurement of ankle kinetics (force, moment, and power) during consecutive gait cycles and in the field using an ambulatory system. An ambulatory system consisting of plantar pressure insole and inertial sensors ...
2011Micro-, meso- and macrostructures in replicated microcellular aluminium
This thesis is focused on the properties of microcellular aluminium, produced by replication processing, at the micro, meso and macrostructural level. The replication process is based on the infiltration of a porous sodium chloride (NaCl) perform with molt ...
