Architecture Without Content 9: The Difficult Double

Dries Rodet, Giovanni Alessandro Piovene Porto Godi, Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo, Jelena Pancevac

The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading, simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away, both in space and time, has been the engine of quite many of the avant-gardes of the recent pas ...

Keynote lecture - Potential, limits and perspectives of physical and numerical modelling

Giovanni De Cesare

In the 19th Century, hydraulic engineering was typically addressed in two parallel approaches. On one hand, classical theoretical fluid mechanics with the use of analytical approaches to study various flow occurrences. Due to the difficulty and complexity ...

Influence of prestressing on the punching strength of post-tensioned slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Thibault Clément

Previous researches on punching of post-tensioned slabs have shown a number of phenomena significantly influencing their strength and behaviour. However, no general agreement is yet found on a physical theory (either in codes of practice or in design model ...

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Low-Pressure Steam Turbines Operating Under Low Volume Flow

Peter Ott, Benjamin Megerle, Ivan William McBean

Nonsynchronous excitation under low volume operation is a major risk to the mechanical integrity of last stage moving blades (LSMBs) in low-pressure (LP) steam turbines. These vibrations are often induced by a rotating aerodynamic instability similar to ro ...

Energetic particle instabilities in fusion plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Mario Ludovico Podesta

Remarkable progress has been made in diagnosing energetic particle instabilities on present-day machines and in establishing a theoretical framework for describing them. This overview describes the much improved diagnostics of Alfven instabilities and mode ...

Simulations have become key in many scientific disciplines to better understand natural phenomena. Neuroscientists, for example, build and simulate increasingly fine grained models (including subcellular details, e.g., neurotransmitter) of the neocortex to ...

In a zero-dimensional superconductor, quantum size effects(1,2) (QSE) not only set the limit to superconductivity, but are also at the heart of new phenomena such as shell effects, which have been predicted to result in large enhancements of the supercondu ...

Application of Tactile Perception Enhancement

Sylvain Cardin

Surrounding environment is mainly perceived through sight and hearing. Our sense of touch is mostly dedicated to explore the surface of objects using hands and fingers. Tactile sensitivity of the body skin is rather limited in common life, however this rep ...
