Detailed experiments on weakly deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Outi Supponen

We present high-precision experiments conducted with the aim to better characterise weak deformations of single cavitation bubbles. Using two needle hydrophones and a high-speed photodetector, we record the timings of shock waves and luminescence emitted a ...

Rapid measurement and correction of spatiotemporal B-0 field changes using FID navigators and a multi-channel reference image

Tobias Kober

Purpose To measure spatiotemporal B-0 field changes in real time using FID navigators (FIDnavs) and to demonstrate the efficacy of retrospectively correcting high-resolution T2*-weighted images using a novel FIDnav framework. Methods A forward model of the ...

External sensory-motor cues while managing unexpected slippages can violate the planar covariation law

Silvestro Micera

This study was aimed at investigating the intersegmental coordination of six older adults while managing unexpected slippages delivered during steady walking, and wearing an Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO). The APO was setup either to assist volunteers at the ...

Uncertainty Quantification of geochemical and mechanical compaction in layered sedimentary basins

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini, Anna Scotti

In this work we propose an Uncertainty Quantification methodology for sedimentary basins evolution under mechanical and geochemical compaction processes, which we model as a coupled, time-dependent, non-linear, monodimensional (depth-only) system of PDEs w ...

Improved calibration of vertical scanning optical profilometers for spherical profiles measurements

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

A new method for calibrating optical scanning profilometers is presented. Especially adapted to spherical and aspherical profile measurements, it shows an increase of accuracy bigger than one order of magnitude for radius of curvature measurements. Calibra ...

Rate Distortion Optimized Graph Partitioning for Omnidirectional Image Coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Thomas Maugey, Mira Rizkallah

Omnidirectional images are spherical signals captured by cameras with 360-degree field of view. In order to be compressed using existing encoders, these signals are mapped to planar domain. A commonly used planar representation is the equirectangular one, ...

On Establishing Buckling Knockdowns for Imperfection-Sensitive Shell Structures

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

This paper investigates issues that have arisen in recent efforts to revise long-standing knockdown factors for elastic shell buckling, which are widely regarded as being overly conservative for well-constructed shells. In particular, this paper focuses on ...

Theory and design of spherical oscillator mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Roland Andreas Bitterli, Ilan Vardi, Lennart Rubbert, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Nicolas Ferrier, Billy Nussbaumer

In previous work, we showed that two degree of freedom oscillators can be advantageously applied to horological time bases since they can be used to eliminate the escapement mechanism. We subsequently examined planar two degree of freedom oscillators based ...

On the diametric compression strength test of brittle spherical particles

Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Václav Pejchal

Diametric compression testing can be used to measure the hoop strength of spherical particles if one uses platens whose deformation behaviour is tailored in a way that allows the particles to sink sufficiently far into the platens before particle fracture ...

Coordinate Descent with Bandit Sampling

Patrick Thiran, Laura Elisa Celis, Farnood Salehi

Coordinate descent methods usually minimize a cost function by updating a random decision variable (corresponding to one coordinate) at a time. Ideally, we would update the decision variable that yields the largest decrease in the cost function. However, f ...
