Additively manufactured steel reinforcement for small scale reinforced concrete modeling: Tensile and bond behavior
Christian Leinenbach, Rafal Wróbel
Small scale (1:30-1:40) Reinforced Concrete is useful for centrifuge testing. However, manufacturing the reinforcing cages by hand at this scale is practically difficult. This paper suggests that small scale reinforcement can be manufactured using a metal ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Self-morphing Soft Parallel-and-coplanar Electroadhesive Grippers Based on Laser-scribed Graphene Oxide Electrodes
Electroadhesion is a versatile and controllable adhesion mechanism that has been used extensively in robotics. Soft electroadhesion embodies electrostatic adhesion in soft materials and is required for shape-adaptive and safe grasping of curved objects and ...
IEEE2022Automatic Acquisition of a Repertoire of Diverse Grasping Trajectories through Behavior Shaping and Novelty Search
Grasping a particular object may require a dedicated grasping movement that may also be specific to the robot end-effector. No generic and autonomous method does exist to generate these movements without making hypotheses on the robot or on the object. Lea ...
IEEE2022An insular cortex - lateral amygdala network in fear learning
Animals are capable of evaluating sensory cues for possible threats and adapting their behaviours accordingly. Fear learning is an evolutionarily conserved behaviour crucial for animal survival, during which sensory percepts with a negative reinforcing qua ...
EPFL2022Two-photon calcium imaging of neocortical projection neurons in whisker somatosensory cortex during goal-directed sensorimotor learning
Abstract
Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in per-ceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas. However, many aspects of the anatomical and func ...
EPFL2018The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory
Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...
EPFL2018Using the Green's function to simplify and understand dendrites
Neurons are endowed with dendrites: tree-like structures that collect and transform inputs. These arborizations are believed to substantially enhance the computational repertoire of neurons. While it has long been known that dendrites are not iso-potential ...
EPFL2017Unaltered cocaine self-administration in the prenatal LPS rat model of schizophrenia
Although cocaine abuse is up to three times more frequent among schizophrenic patients, it remains unclear why this should be the case and whether sex influences this relationship. Using a maternal immune activation model of schizophrenia, we tested whethe ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016Applications of bent-up bars as shear and integrity reinforcement in R/C slabs
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Stefan Lips, Luca Tassinari
Bent-up bars were extensively used as shear reinforcement in beams and slabs from the first R/C developments up to the 1970’s. Their use was justified by the fact that they allowed enhanced development of the tensile reinforcement at the same time they act ...
fib Symposium Prague 20112011Zum Tragverhalten von zugbeanspruchten Bauteilen aus Ultra-Hochleistungs-Faserbeton
Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) can be considered, due to its high strength and improved durability, as one of the leading recent innovations in civil engineering. Material scientists have developed a very efficient, high-tech mat ...
