Rigidity of hemispherical elastic gridshells under point load indentation

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Changyeob Baek

We present results from physical and numerical experiments on the rigidity of hemispherical gridshells under point load indentation. By systematically exploring the relevant parameters of the system, we provide a scaling law for the rigidity of elastic gri ...

Sub-Kelvin stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction

Andreas Osterwalder, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Junwen Zou

We present an experimental study of the low-energy stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction. Supersonic expansions of the two reactants are superposed in a merged beam experiment, where individual velocity control of the two beams allows us to reach avera ...

Gyrokinetic analysis of radial dependence and global effects on the zero particle flux condition in a TCV plasma

Olivier Sauter, Stephan Brunner, Gabriele Merlo, Alberto Mariani

In small-sized tokamaks, finite Larmor radius effects could lead to a significant discrepancy between gyrokinetic local flux-tube results and global ones. This has been highlighted by previous turbulent transport studies as in McMillan et al (2010 Phys. Re ...

Paradoxical Chaos-Like Chattering In The Bouncing Ball System

Kilian Schindler

This paper reports and investigates paradoxical simulation results of the bouncing ball system. Chaos-like motion of the bouncing ball system with intermittent chattering (Zeno behaviour) is observed in simulations if the relative acceleration of the table ...

Optical Force Control Using Phase-Gradient Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Hsiang-Chu Wang

We propose to control the motion of nanoparticles using phase-gradient metasurfaces. The latter are used to generate surface waves, which put the particles into motion, when illuminated by a normally incident plane wave. We present an initial study of the ...

Design of an Innovative Cylindrical Spring with a Negative Stiffness

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne

Interest in the dielectric electroactive polymer is growing in the medical field because of the large similarity with the biological muscles. With the objective to create an artificial pump based on DEAP, this paper presents the concept of an innovative sp ...

Rotating air-water ring in the vaneless gap of a pump-turbine operating in condenser mode

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Loïc Andolfatto, Pierre Leroy

The rotating air-water ring, featuring a bubbly flow, in the vaneless gap of a reduced scale physical model of a pump-turbine operating in dewatered condition is investigated. High speed visualizations are performed together with pressure fluctuation measu ...

Quantifying the impact of a periodic presence of antimicrobial on resistance evolution in a homogeneous microbial population of fixed size

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Loïc Marrec

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance generally occurs in an environment where antimicrobial concentration is variable, which has dramatic consequences on the microorganisms' fitness landscape, and thus on the evolution of resistance. We investigate th ...

The use of body worn sensors for detecting the vibrations acting on the lower back in alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

This study explored the use of body worn sensors to evaluate the vibrations that act on the human body in alpine ski racing from a general and a back overuse injury prevention perspective. In the course of a biomechanical field experiment, six male Europea ...
