Overview of the design approach and prioritization of R&D activities towards an EU DEMO

This paper describes the progress of the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe. The focus is on a systems engineering and design integration approach, which is recognized to be essential from an early stage to identify and address the engineering and op ...

From Seminar to Lecture to MOOC: Scripting and Orchestration at Scale

Stian Haklev

This dissertation investigates the design of large online courses from the pedagogical perspective of knowledge communities. Much of the learning sciences literature has concerned itself with groups of up to 20-30 students, but in universities, courses of ...

Beam Dynamics Studies in Recirculating Machines

Dario Pellegrini

The LHeC and the CLIC Drive Beam share not only the high-current beams that make them prone to show instabilities, but also unconventional lattice topologies and operational schemes in which the time sequence of the bunches varies along the machine. In ord ...

Micro-optical freeform elements for beam-shaping

Hans Peter Herzig, Daniel Infante Gómez

Thin optical beam-shaping elements that are able to produce good quality images and that are operational with different light sources are studied in this work. The influence of the design approach on the smoothness of their surface and on the image quality ...

Design and exploration of externally post-tensioned structures using graphic statics

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Funicular structures, which follow the shapes of hanging chains, work in pure tension (cables) or pure compression (arches), and offer a materially efficient solution compared to structures that work through bending action. However, the set of geometries t ...

Three-dimensional polymeric microtiles for optically-tracked fluidic self-assembly

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli

Self-assembly (SA) is a bio-inspired key coordination mechanism for swarms of intelligent agents as well as a pervasive bottom-up methodology for the fabrication of heterogeneous micro- and nanosystems. Analytical studies of SA at small scales are therefor ...

Progresses and challenges in the development of high-field solenoidal magnets based on RE123 coated conductors

Davide Uglietti

Recent progresses in the second generation REBa2Cu3O7-x (RE123) coated conductor (CC) have paved a way for the development of superconducting solenoids capable of generating fields well above 23.5 T, i.e. the limit of NbTi-Nb3Sn-based magnets. However, the ...

La teoría de la fisura crítica como base teórica para el diseño de losas frente a punzonamiento en el nuevo Código Modelo 2010 (The Critical Shear Crack Theory as a physical model for punching shear design and its implementation into new Model Code 2010)

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar

On April 2010, the first complete draft of new Model Code 2010 was published. It introduced a number of innovative design approaches, some of them with respect to shear and punching shear. Contrary to Model Code 90 (or some national and international codes ...

Hydraulic design of A-type Piano Key Weirs

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) are an alternative to linear overflow structures, increasing the unit discharge for similar heads and spillway widths. Thus, they allow to operate reservoirs with elevated supply levels, thereby providing additional storage volume. A ...
