One-of-a-kind experimental and numerical investigation is provided in this paper about energy sheet pile walls: earth retaining structures that embed heat exchanger probes within piles for the exploitation of shallow geothermal energy. The study resorts to ...
Machine intelligence greatly impacts almost all domains of our societies. It is profoundly changing the field of mechanical engineering with new technical possibilities and processes. The education of future engineers also needs to adapt in terms of techni ...
The last few years have experienced the emergence of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), ultra-customization, and the explosion of demand for ethical, fair trade, and sustainable consumption. Organizations have therefore started a digital transformation of their SCs and ...
The effective mechanical behavior of snow can be deduced from microstructural homogenization through numerical simulations. Although such numerical upscaling of elasticity and strength of snow microstructures is standard (using FEM), numerical schemes to s ...
Vapor fluxes in snow are often inferred from the temperature field by assuming vapor concentrations in local thermodynamic equilibrium with the temperature. Here we give evidence that, at the pore scale, this picture is in clear contradiction with the obse ...
It is well established that the O(N) Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of O(N) vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on th ...
Explicit stabilized integrators are an efficient alternative to implicit or semi-implicit methods to avoid the severe timestep restriction faced by standard explicit integrators applied to stiff diffusion problems. In this paper, we provide a fully discret ...
High-energy hadron colliders are designed to generate particle collisions within specialized detectors. A higher number of collisions is achieved with high-quality beams of low transverse emittances, meaning a small transverse cross-section, and high inten ...
The growing demands on compact and high-definition single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays have motivated researchers to explore pixel miniaturization techniques to achieve sub-10 μm pixels. The scaling of the SPAD pixel size has an impact on key perf ...
The Laboratory ofReactor Physics and System Behaviour (LRS) at EPFL is finalising the preparation of a detection system for dynamic studies on the CROCUS experimental reactor. In order to model the temporal behaviour of the reactor within the framework of ...
