Directionality-Aware Design of Embroidery Patterns
Embroidery is a long-standing and high-quality approach to making logos and images on textiles. Nowadays, it can also be performed via automated machines that weave threads with high spatial accuracy. A characteristic feature of the appearance of the threa ...
WILEY2023Indentation and stability of woven domes
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Célestin Vallat, Tian Chen, Tomohiko Sano, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux
Discrete domes are doubly curved structures comprising a network of beam-like elements. We study the mechanics of discrete domes made of ribbons woven in a pentagonal triaxial pattern. Experiments and finite element simulations are performed to characteriz ...
ELSEVIER2023Electroadhesive gripping system and method for gripping an object
Herbert Shea, Vito Cacucciolo, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti
An electroadhesive gripping system and a method for gripping and manipulating an object are disclosed. The invention provides a novel approach particularly useful to pick fabrics or otherwise flat and flexible objects including a method relying on electroa ...
2023On the Fabric of a 3D Printed Soil
3D printing of earthen materials is on the rise in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM) due to the opportunity this technique offers to realize structures and manufacts with low environmental impacts, but very little is known about the hydromechanical ...
2023Things that Talk: On a new perspective for engaging with scientific instruments
Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu
Our contribution will propose a new approach for engaging with scientific instruments inspired by a recent exhibition which we have designed and organized. Inverting the current trope of presenting history through many objects, the exhibition weaved togeth ...
20233D Weaving with Curved Ribbons
Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux, Christopher Brandt
Basket weaving is a traditional craft for creating curved surfaces as an interwoven array of thin, flexible, and initially straight ribbons. The three-dimensional shape of a woven structure emerges through a complex interplay of the elastic bending behavio ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Building a Question-Answering Chatbot using Forum Data in the Semantic Space
Pierre Dillenbourg, Marc Laperrouza, Khalil Mrini
We build a conversational agent which knowledge base is an online forum for parents of autistic children. We collect about 35,000 threads totalling some 600,000 replies, and label 1% of them for usefulness using Amazon Mechanical Turk. We train a Random Fo ...
2018Investigation of the thermal conductivity of SiC/SiC cladding before and after irradiation
Silicon carbide based composites are candidates for structural components and fuel claddings in nuclear power plants. In the frame of accident tolerant fuel research, the effective through-thickness thermal conductivity of SiC/SiC prototype claddings is in ...
EPFL2017Dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy/flax fibre composites
Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc
The mechanical and damping properties were measured for unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) composites containing 40 vol% of fibres in an epoxy matrix. All composites were processed by resin transfer moulding. The influence of the impregnati ...
Sage Publications Ltd2014The role of twist and crimp on the vibration behaviour of flax fibre composites
Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc
The damping properties of unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) reinforced epoxy composites containing 40 vol% of fibres have been measured by vibration beam testing (VBT). The influence of the impregnation quality, the fibre/matrix adhesion, ...
