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 ...
Two-level domain decomposition methods are very powerful techniques for the efficient numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). A two-level domain decomposition method requires two main components: a one-level preconditioner (or its corr ...
Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays obtained with DRR were found by Boyer et al. They used a rigorous network calculus approach and characteriz ...
This work proposes an autonomous docking control for nonholonomic constrained mobile robots and applies it to an intelligent mobility device or wheelchair for assisting the user in approaching resting furniture such as a chair or a bed. We defined a virtua ...
Dynamics of nucleate boiling are strongly affected by the formation and behaviour of the microlayer, a layer of liquid underneath growing bubbles. As a result of its minute thickness, very high heat fluxes occur within the microlayer and its evaporation co ...
The development of a robust material model able to accurately describe fibre bed compaction at different strain and strain rates is highly desirable because it is essential for the simulation of many composite manufacturing processes. In this study, we inv ...
The objective of this thesis is to provide a mathematical and computational framework for the proactive maintenance of complex systems with a particular application to structural health monitoring (SHM). SHM techniques rely primarily on sensor responses to ...
Soft adhesive pads attached to a rigid substrate show stick-slip behavior upon loading: they detach and reattach in a different location. This is accompanied by the lifting of the adhesive, the mechanical wave carrying this motion being known as a Schallam ...
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 ...
Finite volume methods are proposed for computing approximate pathwise entropy/kinetic solutions to conservation laws with flux functions driven by low-regularity paths. For a convex flux, it is demonstrated that driving path oscillations may lead to "cance ...
