The new Swiss Codes for engineering of existing structures. The Schweizerische Ingenieur- und Architektenverein (Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects) introduces the series of Codes SIA 269 as a tool that will provide guidance for their members to sig ...
Personal navigation has grown rapidly with the introduction of ubiquitous computing and the new generation of smart phones. Appropriate localisation is nowadays a central element for many applications and mobile services. However the proper estimation of t ...
Monolithic actuators have turned out to be an efficient solution to several design and assembly problems associated with inertial drive positioning systems. In addition to their compact size with a possible thickness below 1.5 mm, the modular actuators pre ...
The high-beta capability of the spherical tokamak, coupled with a suite of world-leading diagnostics on MAST, has facilitated significant improvements in the understanding of performance-limiting core instabilities in high performance plasmas. For instance ...
Assessment of existing steel structures: recommendations for estimation of remaining fatigue life. The growing importance of sustainability affects new markets for the construction industry; the rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing buildings and ci ...
Mit der Normenreihe SIA 269 stellt der Schweizerische Ingenieurund Architektenverein seinen Mitgliedern ein Hilfsmittel zur Verfügung, das den Umgang mit bestehenden Tragwerken wesentlich verbessern wird und dabei die Kreativität der Ingenieure herausforde ...
Operating experimental devices have provided key inputs to the design process for ITER axisymmetric control. In particular, experiments have quantified controllability and robustness requirements in the presence of realistic noise and disturbance environme ...
[...] Studying axon guidance by diffusible or substrate bound gradients is challenging with current techniques. In this study, we present two microfluidic devices to study axon guidance. [... click on "Download fulltext" for full abstract] ...
Indentation testing of a finite poroelastic layer is considered. Finite element modeling was used to investigate spherical contact creep tests, with emphasis on the influence of layer thickness and of finite rise time on the time-dependent deformation. Thi ...
The ability of ITER electron cyclotron (EC) wave launchers to drive localized current at various plasma locations is analyzed by means of beam-tracing codes, looking at extended physics application of EC current drive in ITER and at possible synergy betwee ...
