Turbulent patterns in wall-bounded shear flows: invariant solutions and their bifurcations

When laminar shear flows in large wall-bounded domains transition to turbulence, the flow exhibits spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics. Despite its chaotic dynamics, the flow may self-organize into characteristic spatially periodic patterns of unknown origi ...

Neuronal morphologies: the shapes of thoughts

Lida Kanari

The mammalian brain, one of the most fascinating systems in nature, is a complex biological structure that has kept scientists busy for over a century. Many of the brain's mysteries have been unraveled due to the enormous efforts of the scientific communit ...

Stochastic Composite Least-Squares Regression with Convergence Rate O(1/n)

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion

We consider the minimization of a function deﬁned on a Riemannian manifold M accessible only through unbiased estimates of its gradients. We develop a geometric framework to transform a sequence of slowly converging iterates generated from stochastic gradi ...

Form-Finding Of Interlaced Space Structures

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei, Olivier Baverel

By Interlaced Space Structures (ISS) we mean a coupled system of naturally curved flexible panels/strips interlaced together according to a design pattern. We are looking for a physically-based and efficient form-finding procedure in order to interactively ...

Mechanical form-finding of timber fabric structures

Seyed Sina Nabaei

How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...

Numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels with arches

Katrin Beyer, Sujith Mangalathu Sivasubramanian Pillai

This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...

A geometric framework for registration of sparse images

Pascal Frossard, Alhussein Fawzi

We examine the problem of image registration when images have a sparse representation in a dictionary of geometric features. We propose a novel algorithm for aligning images by pairing their sparse components. We show numerically that this algorithm works ...

Geometrical description and Structural analysis of a Modular Timber Structure

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei

The ambitious goal of the ongoing research at IBOIS, the Laboratory of timber constructions at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is to develop a next generation of timber constructions made out of innovative timber-derived products, throu ...

Discrete Scale Axis Representations for 3D Geometry

Mark Pauly

This paper addresses the fundamental problem of computing stable medial representations of 3D shapes. We propose a spatially adaptive classification of geometric features that yields a robust algorithm for generating medial representations at different lev ...
