This research investigates new methods of designing folded plate structures that can be built with cross-laminated timber panels. Folded plate structures are attractive to both architects and engineers for their structural, spatial, and plastic qualities. ...
This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...
This paper describes an efficient algorithm to predict the RF gas breakdown power threshold in microwave devices with complex geometries. The two necessary calculations when investigating such a phenomenon have been performed: on the one hand, the computat ...
The Uniformization Theorem due to Koebe and Poincaré implies that every compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal to 2 can be endowed with a metric of constant curvature – 1. On the other hand, a compact Riemann surface is a complex algebraic curve ...
A numerical manifold method (NMM) for plane micropolar elasticity is proposed in this paper to consider the microstructure influence of materials. First, the basic formulations of plane micropolar elasticity are briefly introduced. Then, the equations of s ...
Transformation manifolds are quite attractive for image analysis applications that require transformation invariance properties. The geometric structure of a transformation manifold has a profound influence on the design of processing algorithm, and the cu ...
One of the recently developed methods for measuring mechanical properties of complex structures, like bone, is back-calculation using finite element models. This has been achieved due to emergence of high computing powers and high resolution CT scanners in ...
Based on truncated inverse filtering, a theory for deconvolution of complex fields is studied. The validity of the theory is verified by comparing with experimental data from digital holographic microscopy (DHM) using a high-NA system (NA=0.95). Comparison ...
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has the potential to provide quantitative and reliable data on the real condition of structures, observe the evolution of their behaviour and detect degradation This paper presents two methodologies for model-free data in ...
In general, most porous materials are so complex that structural information cannot be easily observed with 3D visualization tools. To address this problem, we have developed a special abstract 2D representation to depict all important topological features ...
