Micro-beams with tunable stiffness and curvature for mechano-sensitive cell culture substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Patrick Yann Biro, Mattia Marelli

We present the complete fabrication of 3D microenvironments for single-cell culture. They are based on SiO2 cantilevers bending out-of-plane with radii as small as 20 um. By engineering the intrinsic stress of SiO2 thin films, we were able to tune the radi ...

Tightening of DNA knots by supercoiling facilitates their unknotting by type II DNA topoisomerases

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Stasiak, Guillaume Witz

Using numerical simulations, we compare properties of knotted DNA molecules that are either torsionally relaxed or supercoiled. We observe that DNA supercoiling tightens knotted portions of DNA molecules and accentuates the difference in curvature between ...

Anchoring the SLIP template: The effect of leg mass on running stability

Auke Ijspeert, Soha Pouya, Rico Möckel

Spring-like leg behavior was found in the global dynamics of human and animal running in sagittal plane. The corresponding template model, the conservative spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP), shows stability for a large range of speeds and is, therefor ...

Design of the ITER high-frequency magnetic diagnostic coils

Duccio Testa, René Chavan, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Thomas Maeder, Nadine Baluc, Philippe Marmillod, Francisco Sanchez

This paper is an overview of work carried out on the design of the ITER high-frequency magnetic diagnostic coil (HF sensor). In the first part, the ITER requirements for the HF sensor are presented. In the second part, the ITER reference design of the HF s ...

Assistance using adaptive oscillators: Robustness to errors in the identification of the limb parameters

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi, Renaud Ronsse, Mike Domenik Rinderknecht

This paper provides a robustness analysis of the method we recently developed for rhythmic movement assistance using adaptive oscillators. An adaptive oscillator is a mathematical tool capable of extracting high-level features (i.e. amplitude, frequency, o ...

Dynamic fracturing simulation of brittle material using the distinct lattice spring method with a full rate-dependent cohesive law

Jian Zhao, Gaofeng Zhao, Tohid Kazerani

A full rate-dependent cohesive law is implemented in the distinct lattice spring method (DLSM) to investigate the dynamic fracturing behavior of brittle materials. Both the spring ultimate deformation and spring strength are dependent on the spring deforma ...

Behaviour of UHPFRC-RC composite beams subjected to combined bending and shear

Eugen Brühwiler, Talayeh Noshiravani

An emerging technique for strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs is to add a layer of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with steel rebars as an external tensile flexural reinforcement. This paper presents the results of an ...

Hybrid glass mat reinforced polypropylene-montmorillonite nanocomposites

Véronique Michaud, John Christopher Plummer, Sara Dalle Vacche, Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

Although addition of montmorillonite (MMT) clay to isotactic polypropylene (iPP) results in large increases in the melt viscosity at low shear rates, satisfactory impregnation of glass mats is obtained with iPP/MMT under conditions typical of industrial pr ...
