Publications related to Curvature

A system of sets forms an m-fold covering of a set X if every point of X belongs to at least m of its members. A 1-fold covering is called a covering. The problem of splitting multiple coverings into several coverings was motivated by classical density est ...

A parametrical study on secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and theoretical modelling

Anton Schleiss, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R (H is the average flow depth and R is the centreline radius of curvature), the Froude number Fr, and the dimensionless roughness coefficient Cf was systematically investigated in ...

Smoothly Deformable Spheres: Modeling, Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as NURBS. Polygon models and subdivision metho ...

Degrafting of Poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) Brushes from Planar and Spherical Silicon Substrates

Harm-Anton Klok, Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman

Densely grafted, hydrophilic polymer brushes produced via surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization have been shown to undergo degrafting upon exposure to aqueous media. This degrafting process has been proposed to involve swelling-induced, mecha ...

Fabrication of slender elastic shells by the coating of curved surfaces

François Gallaire, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Various manufacturing techniques exist to produce double-curvature shells, including injection, rotational and blow molding, as well as dip coating. However, these industrial processes are typically geared for mass production and are not directly applicabl ...

Effect of volume fractions on microstructure evolution in isotropic volume-conserved two-phase alloys: A phase-field study

Liesbeth Maria L Vanherpe

A detailed investigation was carried out to study the effect of volume fraction on microstructure evolution in segregation-free isotropic volume-conserved two-phase alloys. Large scale two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) simulations were perfor ...

Comb Drive Designs With Minimized Levitation

Matthias Imboden

This paper presents two capacitive comb drive designs for electrostatic actuation of MEMS with the aim to eliminate the levitation effect often observed in such systems. By placing a shield over the comb drive fingers, it is possible to balance the electri ...

Laser-assisted morphing of complex three dimensional objects

Yves Bellouard, Jakub Drs

Morphing refers to the smooth transition from a specific shape into another one, in which the initial and final shapes can be significantly different. A typical illustration is to turn a cube into a sphere by continuous change of shape curvatures. Here, we ...
