In infinite dimensions, many-body systems of pairwise interacting particles provide exact analytical benchmarks for the features of amorphous materials, such as the stress--strain curve of glasses under quasistatic shear. Here, instead of global shear, we ...
Recent advances in soft actuators have enabled systems that are safer to interact with, better at handling fragile objects, able to produce complex shapes with fewer components. However, being inherently soft differs these actuators from their rigid counte ...
The ability to 3D print soft materials with integrated strain sensors enables significant flexibility for the design and fabrication of soft robots. Hydrogels provide an interesting alternative to traditional soft robot materials, allowing for more varied ...

We revisit analytical methods for constraining the nonperturbative S-matrix of unitary, relativistic, gapped theories in d >= 3 spacetime dimensions. We assume extended analyticity of the two-to-two scattering amplitude and use it together with elastic uni ...
The objective of this thesis is to develop knowledge and methods to prevent fatigue failure of bridges. The Fatigue Limit State is investigated from both the demand (S) and resistance (R) side.
The S-part focuses on reduction of uncertainties through monit ...
Parameters influencing tensile testing of bulk structural adhesives have been investigated to better understand tab failures, fracture shapes and high-frequency fatigue testing. Dumbbell molded structural adhesive specimens with tapered aluminum tabs have ...
The behavior of reinforced-concrete structural elements under moving loads involves many complex parameters related to material properties, vehicle loading, environmental changes and structural response. It is difficult to generate the real conditions of l ...
The emergence of a domain wall property that is forbidden by symmetry in bulk can offer unforeseen opportunities for nanoscale low-dimensional functionalities in ferroic materials. Here, we report that the piezoelectric response is greatly enhanced in the ...
The cotangent complex of a map of commutative rings is a central object in deformation theory. Since the 1990s, it has been generalized to the homotopical setting of E-infinity-ring spectra in various ways. In this work we first establish, in the context o ...
This data paper reviews the experimental research on fully restrained beam-to-column connections for steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) over the last 50 years worldwide and presents an experimental database consisting of 100 tests with an emphasis on tho ...
