C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams
Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Quentin Christian Becker, Yingying Ren, Davide Pellis
We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...
2023Young children can use their subjective straight-ahead to remap visuo-motor alterations
Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt, Davide Esposito
Young children and adults process spatial information differently: the former use their bodies as primary reference, while adults seem capable of using abstract frames. The transition is estimated to occur between the 6th and the 12th year of age. The mech ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Covariant formulation of relativistic mechanics
Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia
Accretion disks surrounding compact objects, and other environmental factors, deviate satellites from geodetic motion. Unfortunately, setting up the equations of motion for such relativistic trajectories is not as simple as in Newtonian mechanics. The prin ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2022In situ observations of the Swiss periglacial environment using GNSS instruments
Alessandro Cicoira, Matthias Meyer, Hugo Raetzo
Monitoring of the periglacial environment is relevant for many disciplines including glaciology, natural hazard management, geomorphology, and geodesy. Since October 2022, Rock Glacier Velocity (RGV) is a new Essential Climate Variable (ECV) product within ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022Disentangling turbulence in the plasma boundary of diverted tokamaks
A non-field aligned coordinate system was recently implemented in GBS, a three-dimensional drift-reduced Braginskii fluid code to simulate turbulence in the plasma periphery of tokamaks. This avoids the singularity present in field-aligned coordinates at t ...
2019Can Precursory Moment Release Scale With Earthquake Magnitude? A View From the Laboratory
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta
Today, earthquake precursors remain debated. While precursory slow slip is an important feature of earthquake nucleation, foreshock sequences are not always observed, and their temporal evolution remains poorly constrained. We report on laboratory earthqua ...
2019Spatial distribution of mammography adherence in a Swiss urban population and its association with socioeconomic status
Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Rebecca Himsl
Purpose: Local physical and social environment has a defining influence on individual behaviour and health-related outcomes. However, it remains undetermined if its impact is independent of individual socioeconomic status. In this study, we evaluated the s ...
