Nonlinear study on a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved gas bearings: Theory and validation

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig, Wanhui Liu

The nonlinear behavior of a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved journal gas bearings (HGJBs) was investigated in this study. The two-dimensional narrow groove theory (2D-NGT) was adopted to model the HGJBs. A set of integrated rotor-bearing state ...

Simulation of silicon KOH and dry etching methods for micromould fabrication

Laurène Tribolet

The purpose of this project is to investigate the suitability of wet etching methods such as KOH etching for silicon micromoulds fabrication. Those moulds are intended for preceramic polymer (PCP) casting and specific requirements regarding the profile of ...

Elevated CO2 Leads to Enhanced Photosynthesis but Decreased Growth in Early Life Stages of Reef Building Coralline Algae

Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Michael Kühl

Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are key organisms in coral reef ecosystems, where they contribute to reef building and substrate stabilization. While ocean acidification due to increasing CO2 can affect the biology, physiology and ecology of fully developed ...

Deformation capacity and strength of brick masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer

In unreinforced masonry (URM) structures vertical walls are connected by horizontal spandrel elements. Spandrels have been subjected to extensive damage during earthquakes and are often the first elements within a URM building to crack or fail. If URM buil ...

Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening

Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Rising temperatures and declining water availability have influenced the ecological function of mountain forests over the past half-century. For instance, warming in spring and summer and shifts towards earlier snowmelt are associated with an increase in w ...

Assessing Digital Surface Models by Verifying Shadows: A Sensor Network Approach

Martin Vetterli, François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Mina Karzand

We propose to use wireless sensor networks to assess the accuracy and application of Digital Surface Models (DSM) for the study of shadowing and solar radiation over the built environment. Using the ability of sensor network data to provide information abo ...

Vertical ordering of rods under vertical vibration

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Marco Ramaioli

Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...
