Emergence of self-affine surfaces during adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink

Friction and wear depend critically on surface roughness and its evolution with time. An accurate control of roughness is essential to the performance and durability of virtually all engineering applications. At geological scales, roughness along tectonic ...

Dampened expectations in the Phillips Curve: A note

Charles Cosme Henri Dennery

Dampened inflation expectations have a significant impact on the New Keynesian Phillips Curve. This dampening not only flattens the long run Phillips Curve, but it can also lead to a bias in the estimation of its short run slope. It also affects the respon ...

Stable Fractional Matchings

Aris Filos Ratsikas

We study a generalization of the classical stable matching problem that allows for cardinal preferences (as opposed to ordinal) and fractional matchings (as opposed to integral). After observing that, in this cardinal setting, stable fractional matchings c ...

Fast RTO Applied to a Commercial SOFC System

Dominique Bonvin, Zacharie Wuillemin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

The experimental implementation of real-time optimization (RTO) to a commercial solid-oxide fuel-cell (SOFC) system is reported in this paper. The goal of RTO is to maximize the system efficiency at steady state subject to several operating constraints. Th ...

Tight Bounds for Online Edge Coloring

David Wajc

Vizing's celebrated theorem asserts that any graph of maximum degree Delta admits an edge coloring using at most Delta + 1 colors. In contrast, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor showed over a quarter century ago that the trivial greedy algorithm, which uses 2 Delt ...

Message Distortion in Information Cascades

Robert West, Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Kristina Gligoric

Information diffusion is usually modeled as a process in which immutable pieces of information propagate over a network. In reality, however, messages are not immutable, but may be morphed with every step, potentially entailing large cumulative distortions ...

Micromechanical controls of mixed-mode anticrack nucleation in porous solids: application to snow failure

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Jonas Ritter

Porous cohesive materials can fail and collapse under compressive stresses. This mechanical behavior is generally referred to as anticrack and in snow, it is at the origin of catastrophic avalanches. In this study, we investigate how the microstructure of ...

Learning Control

Sylvain Calinon

This chapter presents an overview of learning approaches for the acquisition of controllers and movement skills in humanoid robots. The term learning control refers to the process of acquiring a control strategy to achieve a task. While the definition is i ...

Design of Magnetic Bearing Control System Based on Active Disturbance Rejection Theory

Yuanping Xu

At present, most of the magnetic bearing system adopts the classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control strategy. However, the external disturbances, system parameter perturbations, and many other uncertain disturbances result in PID controller ...
