Lessons learned from a prediction and postdiction of a shake table test on an unreinforced masonry aggregate

Historical centers of Europe and Croatia are often formed by unreinforced masonry building aggregates that developed as the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings can share structural walls with an older and a ...

Improved pivot-slide model of the motion of a curling rock

Laurent De Schoulepnikoff

The pivot-slide model (Shegelski and Lozowski) successfully predicts the slide and curl distances of a curling rock. However, in this model, there is no dependence of the curl distance on the initial velocity, because the ratio between the pivot to sliding ...

Stability of standing waves for a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with delta potentials

François Samer Genoud

In this paper, we study local well-posedness and orbital stability of standing waves for a singularly perturbed one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. We first establish local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem by a fixed point argument. Unlike ...

Scalable closed-form trajectories for periodic and non-periodic human-like walking

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

We present a new framework to generate human-like lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking conditions. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to model falling, swing and ...

Revisiting the drag reduction problem using adjoint-based distributed forcing of laminar and turbulent flows over a circular cylinder

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Philippe Meliga

This study assesses the ability of a sensitivity-based, span-wise homogeneous control velocity distributed at the surface of a circular cylinder to cut down the cost of reducing drag by more classical techniques, e.g., base bleed and lateral suction. At Re ...

Subcycle Extreme Nonlinearities in GaP Induced by an Ultrastrong Terahertz Field

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

We report on the experimental observation of extreme laser spectral broadening and a change in optical transmission in gallium phosphite induced by 25 MV/cm terahertz (THz) single-cycle internal field. Such intense THz radiation leads to twofold transient ...

Front-crawl stroke descriptors variability assessment for skill characterisation

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi

The goal of this article is to character ise front-crawl swimming skill based on variability pattern of technique descriptors. Nine national level and nine recreational swimmers performed three 300 m trials in a 50 m outdoor pool, at 70%, 80% and 90% of th ...

Comparing Direct and Indirect Thrust Measurements from Passively Fed and Highly Ionic Electrospray Thrusters

Herbert Shea, Simon Dandavino, Daniel George Courtney

Highly ionic beams of several hundred microampere per squared centimeter have been measured from porous glass ionic liquid electrospray sources fabricated using a conventional mill. The thrust output from three prototype devices, two emitting the ionic liq ...

Evidence for major mergers of galaxies at 2 less than or similar to z < 4 in the VVDS and VUDS surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Context. The mass assembly of galaxies can proceed through different physical processes. Here we report on the spectroscopic identification of close physical pairs of galaxies at redshifts 2 less than or similar to z < 4 and discuss the impact of major mer ...

Experimental progress towards the MicroThrust MEMS electrospray electric propulsion system

Herbert Shea, Caglar Ataman, Simon Dandavino, Subha Chakraborty

This paper describes the experimental progress towards an operational microfabricated electrospray thruster, as part of the EU FP7 “MicroThrust” Project. Microfabrication of an electrospray multiplexed thruster allows the seamless manufacturing of arrays o ...
