Behaviour of poorly detailed lap-splices under cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer, Pia Hannewald, Georgia Angeli

This paper presents the first part of a series of uniaxial cyclic tests on lap-splices. The work is conducted within the framework of a project on the seismic behaviour of existing, poorly detailed bridge piers which are typically constructed with a lap-sp ...

Feedback Communication and Control Over a Single Channel

Michael Christoph Gastpar

This paper explores the problem of feedback coding for a channel whose output is simultaneously used for two purposes: it is decoded to establish reliable communication, and it is used to control a dynamical system. In general, there is a tradeoff between ...

Convergent/Divergent Synthesis of a Linker-Varied Series of Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on the D35 Donor

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

A series of four new dyes, based on the D35 type donor moiety with varied linker units, is synthesized using a facile convergent/divergent method, enabled by an improved synthesis of the D35 donor. The dyes are evaluated in dye sensitized solar cells with ...

Study on the Reversible DC-DC Converter as Interface between Low and Medium Voltage DC Networks

Alfred Rufer, Stephan Kenzelmann, Carlo Arrioja

This paper introduces an isolated reversible DC-DC converter with a particular topology, which benefits from both the NPC (neutral point clamped) structure and the series-parallel connection of converters. The key property of the proposed topology is the o ...
