Geometrical description and structural analysis of a modular timber structure

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei, Olivier Baverel

The ambitious goal of the ongoing research at IBOIS, the Laboratory of timber constructions at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is to develop a next generation of timber constructions made out of innovative timber-derived products, throu ...

Multi-domain Fourier-continuation/WENO hybrid solver for conservation laws

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We introduce a multi-domain Fourier-continuation/WENO hybrid method (FC-WENO) that enables high-order and non-oscillatory solution of systems of nonlinear conservation laws, and which enjoys essentially dispersionless, spectral character away from disconti ...

Systematic correct construction of self-stabilizing systems: A case study

Joseph Sifakis

Design and implementation of distributed algorithms often involve many subtleties due to their complex structure, non-determinism, and low atomicity as well as occurrence of unanticipated physical events such as faults. Thus, constructing correct distribut ...

Methodologies for model-free data interpretation of civil engineering structures

Ian Smith, Daniele Posenato

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has the potential to provide quantitative and reliable data on the real condition of structures, observe the evolution of their behaviour and detect degradation This paper presents two methodologies for model-free data in ...

Back-calculation of mechanical properties of bone scaffolds using micro- finite element analysis and compression test (Semester project)

Alireza Roshan Ghias

One of the recently developed methods for measuring mechanical properties of complex structures, like bone, is back-calculation using finite element models. This has been achieved due to emergence of high computing powers and high resolution CT scanners in ...

Structural identification through continuous monitoring: data cleansing using temperature variations

Ian Smith, Irwanda Laory

The aim of structural performance monitoring is to infer the state of a structure from measurements and thereby support decisions related to structural management. Complex structures may be equipped with hundreds of sensors that measure quantities such as ...

Geometry- and load-specific optimization of the collagen network's fibre orientation in the lumbar spine's annulus fibrosus

Andreas Schmocker

In Europe, low back pain (LBP) affects the quality of life of up to 30% of the active population. Although the origin of LBP is not well identified and is probably not unique, epidemiological studies suggest that the severity of the disease is correlated w ...

Diffusion Spectrum Imaging Shows the Structural Basis of Functional Cerebellar Circuits in the Human Cerebellum In Vivo

Reto Meuli, Cristina Granziera, Nouchine Hadjikhani, Van Jay Wedeen

Background: The cerebellum is a complex structure that can be affected by several congenital and acquired diseases leading to alteration of its function and neuronal circuits. Identifying the structural bases of cerebellar neuronal networks in humans in vi ...

Fatigue Testing and Analysis of an Orthotropic Bridge Welded Detail Using Structural Hot Spot Stress Method

Farshid Zamiri Akhlaghi

At present, more powerful tools for numerical modelling and structural analysis are available for the use in fatigue design and assessment of complex structures. Taking advantage of these tools, structural hot spot stress approach (SHSS) can predict the fa ...

Global 2D modeling of minority and majority substrate coupled currents

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Fabrizio Lo Conte

This paper presents a modeling strategy to simulate 2D propagation of electrical perturbations induced by direct biasing of substrate junctions. Identifying parasitic substrate devices such as bipolar transistors reaches rapidly its limit when multiple cur ...
