Role of visco-elastic rheologies in the persistence of heterogeneous stress distributions in dynamic rupture models.

Jean-François Molinari, Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie, David Simon Kammer

Understanding how past ruptures will affect the propagation of the following ruptures is fundamental to a better comprehension of earthquake behavior. In that sense, numerical simulations provide a useful tool to study the dynamics of slip. In this study, ...

Contorting a heavy and naturally curved elastic rod

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We investigate how the configurations obtained from the writhing of a heavy elastic rod are influenced by its intrinsic natural curvature. To this end, we perform a combination of numerics and precision model experiments on the compression or twisting of a ...

Turbulent flow within a random array of rigid, emergent stems : Laboratory characterization of the drag coefficient

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

Within the bioengineering framework, designing a non-erodible channel is a complex fluid dynamics problem as it involves knowing the drag exerted on the boundary, the drag exerted on the plant stems and the overall friction slope. Most of the existing desi ...

On the Generation of a Variety of Grasps

Aude Billard, Sahar El Khoury, Miao Li

In everyday life, people use a large diversity of hands configurations while reaching out to grasp an object. They tend to vary their hands position/orientation around the object and their fingers placement on its surface according to the object properties ...

Real-world tasks with full control over the visual scene: combining mobile gaze tracking and 4pi light-field measurements

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

Measuring gaze allocation during scene perception typically faces a dilemma: full control over the stimulus requires comparably constrained scenarios, while realistic tasks leave the visual input hard to control. We propose to capture the full (4pi) light- ...

Angular Momentum During Unexpected Multidirectional Perturbations Delivered While Walking

Silvestro Micera

This study investigated the hypothesis that the coupled contribution of all body segments to the whole-body response during both walking and managing unexpected perturbations is characterized by similar features which do not depend on the laterality (i.e., ...

Piecewise linear spine for speed-energy efficiency trade-off in quadruped robots

Auke Ijspeert, Mahdi Khoramshahi

We compare the effects of linear and piecewise linear compliant spines on locomotion performance of quadruped robots in terms of energy efficiency and locomotion speed through a set of simulations and experiments. We first present a simple locomotion syste ...

Inertial measurement unit and biomechanical analysis of swimming: an update

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi

The biomechanical analysis of swimming always faced impeding factors of measurement in the aquatic environment. Our current knowledge of swimming locomotion is very much owing to employing video cameras to capture the body kinematics. Nevertheless, the rec ...
