Quantifying the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to relative support motion

The supports of out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls in buildings are subjected to a motion that is filtered and amplified by the building structure and, in some cases, can be significantly different from the ground motion. Moreover, because thes ...

Personalized Telerobotics by Fast Machine Learning of Body-Machine Interfaces

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini

Human-Robot Interfaces (HRIs) can be hard to master for inexperienced users, making the teleoperation of mobile robots a difficult task. The development of Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMIs) represents a promising approach to making a user more proficient, by ...

Roll-up region of tip vortex: numerical investigation

Mohamed Farhat, Azin Amini, Matthieu Dreyer, Martino Reclari

The appearance of gas-filled vortices at the tip of hydraulic machines blades is usually associated with increase of losses, vibrations, noise and erosion risk. The understanding of the roll-up region, where the boundary layer on the pressure side crosses ...

Heat-driven spin torques in antiferromagnets

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Marcin Bialek

A heat-driven magnetization damping, that is a linear function of a temperature gradient, is predicted in antiferromagnets by considering the sublattice dynamics subjected to a heat-driven spin torque. This points to the possibility of achieving a spin tor ...

Experimental demonstration of the water-holding property of three-dimensional vortices

When injecting dye into a vertical vortex generated by a commercial magnetic stirrer, one finds that dye remains captured around the vortex core over minutes, while it gets mixed with the water outside this region rather rapidly. Thus, considering its hori ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Deriving fragility functions from bilinearized capacity curves for earthquake scenario modelling using the conditional spectrum

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel, Pia Hannewald

The development of fragility curves to perform seismic scenario-based risk assessment requires a fully probabilistic procedure in order to account for uncertainties at each step of the computation. This is especially true when developing fragility curves c ...

Optimization-based motion planning for legged robots

Alexander Winkler

Legged machines have the potential to traverse terrain that wheeled robots cannot. These capabilities are useful in scenarios such as stairs in homes or debris-filled disaster scenes, such as earthquake areas. This thesis develops one of the algorithms nec ...

Periodic Motion of Sedimenting Flexible Knots

Giovanni Dietler, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Andrzej Stasiak

We study the dynamics of knotted deformable closed chains sedimenting in a viscous fluid. We show experimentally that trefoil and other torus knots often attain a remarkably regular horizontal toroidal structure while sedimenting, with a number of intertwi ...

A Unifying Contrast Maximization Framework for Event Cameras, with Applications to Motion, Depth and Optical Flow Estimation

Davide Scaramuzza

We present a unifying framework to solve several computer vision problems with event cameras: motion, depth and optical flow estimation. The main idea of our framework is to find the point trajectories on the image plane that are best aligned with the even ...
